If you’re the kind of person who’s always dreamed of owning a proper Jaguar—a real Jaguar—this is your chance to own one of the most luxurious, and meticulously cared-for examples.

This 1990 Jaguar XJ12 Vanden Plas Series III isn’t just a car, it’s an experience in British opulence. The Series III Jaguar cars were built in Coventry, England from 1979 to 1993. The V12 Vanden Plas is the top of the line model. Power is rated at 295 hp. and 319 lbs.ft. torque, making it a very powerful and smooth engine capable of moving the car along at up to over 200 kph. Handcrafted to perfection, it’s the pinnacle of Jaguar luxury sedans, boasting the legendary 5.3L V12 "High Efficiency" engine with Pepperpot alloy wheels, and a ride so smooth it feels like gliding on velvet.

Why Sell?
I always wanted to own a 12 cylinder Jaguar vehicle having read about this engine’s journey through its many years. Finding this particular vehicle was a dream come true with its being so carefully looked after for the previous 30 years. The logbook the previous owner kept established his diligence and a rust-free inspection on the underside confirmed in my mind this car’s wholesomeness. Since I acquired the vehicle 3 years ago, I have only needed to replace the gas tanks’ sending units, a pair of front shocks and maintenance on the A.C., the heaters and the sunroof. I suppose that since I only drive the car between my home and the lawn bowling club, its use is minimal. I have satisfied my wish. I am into my eighties now and would like to pass the torch to someone who will appreciate the art of fine motoring.
