A very well-presented 1985 Series 3 Jaguar Sovereign V12 HE, finished in Cranberry.
I have owned the car for over 9 years and am only the 3rd owner. It has always been stored out of the weather while I have owned it.
The car:
- 147,000 MILES (not kilometers)
- Fresh W.O.F.
- Registered until May 2027.
- V12 High Efficiency (HE) engine – starts readily, runs nicely and maintains excellent oil pressure.
- Has not required an oil top-up between services.
- Working air conditioning.
- Working electric windows.
- Excellent leather interior, woodwork and hood lining.
- Very good paintwork and straight body.
- Tidy engine bay.
- Cooling system overhaul in 2022.
- Original Jaguar Clarion stereo – still working!
- Original jack and tool kit
- Documentation dating back to the car’s original sale in the UK.
- NZ Vintage Car Club Vehicle Identity Card (VIC).
Things to be aware of:
- Some oil seepage/leakage underneath, as is common with older Jaguars. It has never been significant enough to require an oil top-up between annual services.
- Small rust blemishes along the bottom edges of two doors (see photo).
- Cruise control and trip computer not tested.
Why am I selling?
Quite simply, storage space has become a priority. The car was previously offered on Trade Me as a classified listing, but I have decided to sell it by genuine No Reserve Auction rather than have it continue to spend its time stored away.
I’d much rather see this Jaguar being enjoyed by its next owner.
