This incredibly rare special order XJS is one of only 64 cars prepared and hand finished by craftsmen at the Insignia Program at Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), with only 7 RHD XJS 4.0 cars made. The Insignia option was designed to allow buyers to stipulate unique paint options, wheels and higher grade leather trim. This stunning example was commissioned in striking Peppermint (code HFM/831), an exceptionally rare colour that accentuates the elegant XJS lines beautifully. Only close scrutiny will reveal imperfections, namely touched in chips to the driver’s door mirror and front nearside bumper corner. All further trim sections including the special side Jaguar embossed rubbing strips are in excellent order, and the chromework is beautifully preserved. A truly unique XJS worthy of the Pride and Joy Class Winner trophy at the 2015 Ickworth Eastern Day.
INTERIOR
A sumptuous and luxurious interior is simply beautiful trimmed in the special Insignia upgrade Magnolia (code AEM) semi analine leather, and the sports electric seats are every bit as comfortable and supportive as they look. The driver’s seat has previously been refurbished and minor wear to the out bolster is barely noticeable. Hand-polished figured burr walnut veneers and matchwood inlays are a further touch of class and remain factory perfect. The headlining is tight and clean and completely free from common sagging issues, and the sumptuous Wilton carpets have been protected from new by Jaguar tailored over mats. All the controls, switches and gauges function perfectly including the factory fitted Jaguar stereo unit. The carpeted boot area shows minimal use with tool case and original jack present. The ultimate luxury interior, prepared exclusively for the discerning XJS customer.

The standard four-speed automatic transmission with switchable Normal and Sport modes is seamless. The ultimate grand tourer with superlative XJS refinement guaranteed.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The factory fitted unrestored five spoke 16in sports alloys wheel remain in near perfect condition and are shod in quality correct Pirelli P6000 tyres with excellent tread remaining.
