Will require recommissioning due to being dry stored for many years

Built in 1988 configured as a left-hand drive market car, in Red with a Beige interior, the V12, 5.3 litre XJ-S was shipped to the Middle East and its first owner, the Oman government, Oman being on the Arabian Peninsula of Western Asia, sharing its northwestern border with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). After 11 years in the Middle East, the XJ-S was purchased by the vendor's father, who lived and worked out there for many years, it was he who shipped the car back to the UK and registered it on 4th September 1999. Used by the owner until 2015, sadly, his custodianship came to an end when he passed away a couple of years ago, and since left in a garage, effectively dry stored until now and displaying a mere c.21,000 credible miles from new. Now being sold by the late owner's family, this low mileage V12 Convertible is being offered with a history file which includes the current V5C, a collection of invoices and old MOT paperwork.
