VHX139S started life on the 1st May 1978 at Henlys Jaguar in Regents park London and sold to a Fashion company. Last month I purchased this beauty from a Mr Jackson who bought it back in 1982 at just 4 years old (copy of invoice with history). It looks now absolutely as it would have back then. being in totally original condition. Due to this car being cherished the whole of its life and never being restored or messed around with. the bodywork. interior. under bonnet. floor pan and chromework is all exceptional. Ive driven this car for the last few weeks covering over 500 miles. its been a pure joy and with so many admiring glances you feel really privileged to own this design masterpiece. The drive is as near to new as you get with the engine still smooth and quiet ( no change to oil level either in that 500 miles) the ride also totally faultless with no noise or suspension knocks. the also gearbox performs as it should with very smooth virtually undetectable gear changes.

This series of XJ are becoming extremely rare in this condition having only been produced between late 73 and early 79. In late 77 the magazine Car described this model of XJ with the line ” Britain still makes the best car in the world but its not the Rolls Royce”. THIS IS ALSO MY FAVOURITE SERIES OF XJ. SO BE QUICK OR I MAY JUST KEEP IT! PLEASE NOTE THE REGISTRATION XJ6 IS CURRENTLY ON THIS CAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
