Lot 222

1990 Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 Convertible

A well cared for example of the V12 iteration of Jaguar’s XJ-S

Estimate £6,000 - £7,000

Registration: H43 MPE

Chassis: SAJJNADW3DB171063

Odometer: 102,055

Transmission: Automatic

MOT: May 2027

A wonderful history file

Well cared for example

Book pack with 14 stamps present

Built on the Jaguar production line on 1st March 1990, ‘H43 MPE’ was first registered on 1st August 1990 and is presented in Jet Black. The XJ-S has been in its current ownership since 91,838 miles, and the accompanying history file includes a record of ownership prior to 2002.

Powered by Jaguar’s 5,343cc V12 engine mated to an automatic transmission, ‘H43 MPE’ offers the refined and effortless performance for which these grand touring Jaguars are so well regarded. It also benefits from an MOT certificate valid into May 2027 for some further peace of mind.

The original book pack is also present, containing the handbook, service record and the original Mead of Chelmsford Jaguar PDI Guarantee is also on file. And what a file it is, too! A very comprehensive history must be seen to be appreciated. It isn’t too often we receive such a well-heeled file. ‘H43 MPE’ is offered with a current V5C Registration Document, together with a wonderfully comprehensive history file and a useful quantity of well-organised paperwork. Just a taste of what is recorded in the file, there’s £4,214 expenditure related to a steering rack in August 2019 with Newlands Motors, Sussex and going a little further back £3,006.60 spent on paintwork in 2012 by Kingswell Coachworks Ltd, Sussex. There are thousands of pounds worth of maintenance and upkeep recorded in a large quantity of remarkable history, all on file and well organised chronologically. Wonderful to see!

The service record contains 14 stamped entries as follows:
