‘K481XNX’ is fine looking example of a Jaguar XJS Coupe in one of its most sought after guises. Under Ford ownership the sporting flagship was significantly revised to prolong its growing popularity. As such, ‘‘K481XNX’ exhibits all the 1991 facelift improvements as well as being powered by the much admired 4.0-litre AJ6, straight six power plant. This is considered by many in the know as offering the best combination of refinement, power and economy. Acquired by its current keeper in January 2024, ‘K481XNX’ has been part of his large private collection ever since. ‘K481XNX’ is fitted with a desirable TWR body kit and comes complete with an extensive paperwork archive including £10,000 worth of invoices and the original book pack. With a valid advisory free MOT until October this year and a striking and popular livery, ‘K481XNX’ is ready to drive, relish and enjoy being seen in.

‘K481XNX’ presents in the perennially popular and head turning Flamenco Red hue. This is further enhanced by a striking TWR body kits which adds a bespoke front bumper, side skirts and a more prominent boot spoiler. A set of Jaguar, five spoke alloy wheels are also fitted. The beautifully appointed cabin complements this livery perfectly with its ample magnolia hides and accompanying cloths and carpets in similar tones. The vendor rates the bodywork and paintwork as “good,” and the interior as “average.”

In the case of ‘K481XNX,’ the AJ6 4-litre straight six engine is mated to the four speed ZF automatic transmission. This configuration was originally rated at 245bhp and 289 Ib-ft or torque making ‘K481XNX’ an accomplished long distance GT car with an impressive turn of speed when called upon. The vendor reports ‘K481XNX’ to run very well and judges all its mechanical systems as “good.” In short, a desirable example of a Jaguar coupe whose stock is now very much on the rise.

In summary:

· Highly original, eye catching and presentable condition

· Post facelift model in a desirable and popular livery complete with TWR upgrades

· Complete with plenty of accompanying paperwork and a current MOT
