The Jaguar XJS was produced from 1975 until 1996 and was initially intended as a replacement for the E Type.  For many, the V12 is the superior engine; ample power coupled with good design result in these motor cars offering many miles of pleasurable and effortless motoring.
Described as very good in virtually all departments, this well-cared for example was the subject of an older photographic body restoration and is still difficult to fault. The Jaguar has been in the current ownership for twelve years and has clearly been maintained to a high standard, with only a minimal mileage covered each year. In the last few years, major work has included a rear axle overhaul, the replacement of both front brake calipers and the rectification of a steering rack oil leak. The power hood and the smart complimentary blue leather upholstery are in very nice order. F363 UGM sits on 6 ½ J cross spoke Jaguar alloy wheels.
This superlative Jaguar is supplied with the original tool kit and handbooks; the history file contains the aforementioned photographs, numerous invoices, old MOT test certificates, a V5 document and the V5C registration certificate.
