Highlights

Genuine low mileage

Imported from America in 1989 and extensively restored

One owner since 1991

The Appeal

A very desirable and very collectable example of Jaguar’smost famous classic car.

The Series 3 were built on a longer chassis and featured the5.3 litre V12 Jaguar engine along with improved suspension, power steering,larger disc brakes and a more muscular appearance courtesy of its flaredarches.

The V12 delivers greatly increased torque and plenty ofacceleration when required which makes it a very useable and capable GrandTourer.
