Westminster Blue over Cinnamon. What a beautiful color combination. Once you get in and turn the key, you know immediately: this is a Jaguar from a time when a V12 was still a matter of course for a gentleman. This XJ12 Sovereign was delivered new in 1987 in Münster-Nienberge, Germany, and has only driven 95,000 kilometers. That's not much, especially for a twelve-cylinder. It has been well maintained and comes with the original folder containing booklets and invoices. The car makes a very good impression, as befits a well-preserved Series III.What makes this car so special? You can see it in the condition of the paintwork (Westminster Blue), you can feel it in the leather (Cinnamon beige, even more beautiful than in the photo), but above all, you can hear it in the engine. Because the V12 in this Jaguar is a story in itself.In 1979, the XJ underwent a thorough update: the Series III. Pininfarina was involved, and that is clearly visible. It's all in the details. The roofline was lowered, the bumpers were thicker but still stylish, and the door handles were flatter. The whole car became more elegant, without losing any of its stateliness. And then there are the small details: the shape of the grille, the Hofmeister kink in the C-pillar, the wider taillights with integrated reverse lights. It's an evolution, not a revolution.Under the hood is the famous 5.3-liter V12. The engine runs whisper-quiet. There's no need to rush, although you could if you wanted to. This Jaguar has plenty of power for that. But above all: it's quiet and smooth. For connoisseurs, it's clear: this is a very beautiful and original example. An honest example in beautiful condition. You can see it in the details and feel it while driving. It has been well cared for. The books with accompanying invoices also clearly show this.And what's more: it's a Sovereign. That means top-of-the-range, richly equipped as standard, and above all: not a basic XJ12 but the most beautiful variant. Just right. In short: a Jaguar just the way you want it. Westminster Blue, V12, and all that with less than 100,000 miles on the clock.Are you interested in this beautiful Jaguar?
