• Presented in glorious, sparkling Regency Red with a virtually untouched black leather interior
• A company car for Charlie Ross of Ross Frozen foods, however, little use as his wife didn’t approve of the ‘flash’ Jaguar
• Dry-stored for a number of years throughout the 80s and 90s until a family friend finally purchased and recommissioned it
• Accompanied by a history file which includes a signed letter outlining the cars history, old registration documents, old MOTs and tax discs
• A rare opportunity to own a V12 Pre-HE XJ-S frozen in time with just two previous keepers, 9,257 miles from new, simply unrepeatable

Offered here is a beautifully preserved 1979 Jaguar XJ-S Pre-HE Automatic showing 9,257 miles from new. First registered on 22 June 1979 and supplied finished in glorious Regency Red with a black leather interior and black carpets. Today, this sought after and increasingly collectable early V12 XJ-S remains in superb condition mainly due to a period of time ‘off the road’ throughout the ’80s and ’90s.

Within the history file is a signed letter from a previous owner outlining the car's interesting history. A brief summary of the letter shows that this XJS was purchased by Charlie Ross of Ross Frozen Foods and during his ownership, it would only be used for special occasions and eventually dry stored in the family garage as his wife felt the car was too extravagant. The XJ was purchased from the Ross family in the late ’90s after a period ‘off the road’ and recommissioned.

In addition to the correspondence, the history file contains registration papers showing Charlie Ross and other previous keepers, old tax discs from the ’80s & ’90s and some old MOTs.

Rarely do original, unrestored examples as good and well preserved as this come to market especially with low use and in good colours, and we hope that the new owner of this example will continue to preserve this luxurious British sports car for future generations to appreciate.
