Jaguar will be top cat at specialist auction
A1992 Jaguar XJS is going under the Charterhouse hammer in their specialist auction on classic cars and motorcycles in February. “This car was a top of the range boulevard cruiser when new,” commented Richard Bromell. “Costing nearly £50,000 it was just less than I paid for my first house back then!”
Jaguar is one of Britains best loved motoring manufacturers and is a name synonymous with luxury. In the 1950’s Jaguar introduced the marketing line “grace, pace and space” which continues today.
Whilst many Jaguar XJS cars have been through numerous owners and travelled far and wide, the XJS being sold by Charterhouse has just two careful owners.
Over the past 28 years, this car has been used sparingly, covering an average of just 2,000 miles a year. Fitted with the popular and more frugal 4.0 six cylinder engine mated to an automatic gearbox, servicing has been by Jaguar and more recently maintained and MOT’d at the Haynes International Museum workshop in Sparkford, Somerset.
With the owner advancing in years, he finds he is no longer able to get in and out of the Jaguar easily, preferring his new Range Rover which today forms part of the Jaguar Land Rover group.
Finished in metallic silver with a grey leather interior, this be-loved Jaguar is estimated at £5,000-7,000 in the Charterhouse online classic car and motorcycle auction on Wednesday, February 10.
