This Jaguar XJS got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1982 Jaguar XJ-S V12 was first registered in Massachusetts, where it remained for over two decades before spending time in Florida and Nevada. The car is finished in Sapphire Blue over Isis Blue leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2023, this XJ-S V12 is now offered in Arizona by the selling dealer at no reserve with a clean Carfax report and a clean Nevada title.
The car is finished in Sapphire Blue and is equipped with quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. The rear window seal is cracking and the right front fender is scratched. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
The 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Vredstein Sprint Classic tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs. There is a power steering leak.
The cabin features seats upholstered in Isis Blue leather along with burl wood veneer accents on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, an analog clock, power windows, and automatic climate control. The headliner was replaced in January 2024, per the selling dealer. The air conditioning system is inoperative, there is wear on the front seats, and the door seals are deteriorating.
The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, fuel level, and oil pressure, the latter of which does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 35k miles, although the Carfax report lists odometer readings of 46k miles in July 2009 and 84k miles in March 2011. Total mileage is unknown. The speedometer is said to bounce while driving.
The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage and lists registration history in Massachusetts, Florida, and Nevada.
