The 1979 example offered here is smartly presented in Moroccan Bronze with a black leather interior, period Rostyle wheels and displayed just 81,000 miles at the time of cataloguing
The owner informs us that the XJS benefitted from an air conditioning system overhaul including a air conditioning pump and a new stainless steel exhaust system in 2020
