Fantastic. My grandfather-in-law sold his near mint 49,000 mile V12 coupe last year... for £900. Unfortunately he'd sold it before I got wind that he wanted rid otherwise i'd have had it.

Beautiful car Chris!

I always thought it was unfair that a lot of folk thought the XJS was the ugliest Jaguar made - this is a great example of how well the design has aged, it still looks classy, elegant and expensive. As a proper Jaguar should! smile

But I presume you are aware that petrol is nearly £1.20 a litre!

I went to look at a V12 Coupe on Sunday. Got as far as nosing under the bonnet and decided that it was best left alone hehe

Looks stunning.

Also, it's 'here' not 'hear'.

Sound. The car is lovely, I love the XJS V12 although I think an early white coupe with cream leather would be my version of choice.
