⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

An exceptionally elegant example of Jaguar’s celebrated Series III luxury saloon, presented in metallic gold with a tan leather and walnut interior.

The original Jaguar XJ arrived in 1968, with the extensively revised Series III introduced in 1979. Developed with input from Pininfarina, the later model featured a subtly raised roofline, revised glass, new bumpers and a more contemporary interpretation of the familiar Jaguar grille.

By 1985, the Series III had been refined into a particularly accomplished luxury saloon. The Sovereign specification brought a suitably generous level of equipment, while the combination of fluid styling, a beautifully appointed cabin and the long-serving XK straight-six created a car with a distinctly British character.

Coming to market after just over 11 years with our vendor this example is powered by Jaguar’s fuel-injected 4,235cc XK straight-six, coupled to a three-speed automatic gearbox.

Finished in a handsome metallic gold, the Jaguar is complemented by its traditional tan leather interior, polished walnut veneer and factory-style alloy wheels. A previous body restoration has helped preserve its elegant appearance, with accompanying photographs showing stages of the preparation and refinishing work.
