SUMMARY

Lovely, low mileage, last of the line Celebration Convertible.

DESCRIPTION

• The ‘Celebration’ was the final iteration of Jaguar’s XJS and was in recognition of 60 years of Jaguar brand
• The unique spec included: chromed rearview mirrors and headlight surrounds; diamond-cut alloy wheels; wood trim for the steering wheel and gear lever, and seats featuring embossed Jaguar ‘leapers’ and contrasting piping
• This late production car has covered just over 43,000 miles and has been with our vendor for the last 13 years
• Spectacularly presented in Turquoise Pearl with Ivory half-leather, cream carpets and a black soft top
• Its looks are further enhanced by a tinted windscreen and a set of Aston Martin DB7 Vantage alloys
• The Jaguar XJS Celebration signalled the end of an era. Low mileage original examples are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after.
• NB; The cherished registration number illustrated, ARN 1B, does not form part of the sale.
