About this car

This 1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 comes from USS Tokyo with a genuine 48,000 km (approximately 29,826 miles) on the clock, graded 3.5 at auction, and paired with automatic transmission.

The XJ-S was Jaguar's long running grand tourer, and the V12 version is the one enthusiasts still seek out for that smooth 5,300 cc engine and its effortless, long legged cruising character. Finding one with such low mileage this far into its life is unusual, and the auction grade of 3.5 points to a car that presents well for its age with only minor wear expected. As with every car we source, the full translated auction sheet is included on this page so you can see the exact condition notes for yourself before bidding.

Being built in 1990, this XJ-S now falls within the 25 year rule and is eligible for import into the United States, opening it up to buyers there as well as in the UK and beyond.

Minimum bid£3,150

Autoselecta will bid for this Jaguar XJ-S V12 at the Japanese auction on your behalf and arrange shipping to the UK or worldwide once it is secured. Get in touch if you would like more detail on this car before the sale date.
