As expected with the sort of maintenance history this car has the 5.3 V12 engine under the bonnet that is legendary for its smoothness starts instantly. No fuss just a nice steady tick over. The gearbox selects drive seamlessly and off it goes no need for revs when still on choke these engine provide that much torque just take your foot off the brake and away it will go. The general mechanics of the car are all good and a new MOT will be carried out prior to auction. With the motoring press heralding the XJS as the new Etype probably as Etypes are now priced beyond the reach of mere mortals prices are climbing rapidly with the 5.3 Convertible being cream of the crop. With some cars now being valued and sold at over 20000. This car definitely warrants a second look.
