What’s special about this listing
This 1989 XJS Coupe was the third XJS for an 83 year old enthusiast with a passion for Jaguar V12's. He had us go through the car to make sure he would have nothing but fun and reliable performance. We started the process to replace all of the aging rubber components for an aging customer. Before we had finished the project our wonderful customer fell ill and passed away. His family already had two XJS Jaguars, and gave us the third as payment for the work already completed. After road testing and some miles we added more items to make it a wonderful driver that is ready to be used when the weather allows.
The Jaguar is in our showroom for inspection, and questions are welcomed. All of the engine rubber hoses, belts and seals have been replaced and the wheels have been restored to better than original condition. The Rouge Edition XJS's were all Red with Red contrast piping. It is not a perfect car but a Driver Quality car that can be driven anywhere with pride and confidence.
