If original cars in excellent condition are your thing, here is your opportunity to own one of the finest original Jaguar XJs in the world today. This two-owner Vanden Plas Series III four-door sedan has just over 8,000 original miles. All of the factory stickers are still in place under the bonnet, and it still has that special, new-car smell. It still looks like new because it has been maintained in a climate-controlled garage for many years, and it still drives like new due to proper maintenance, including recent service performed by Classic Showcase. This included changing all fluids, installing new tires, and servicing the fuel injection system. Additional maintenance recently performed include installing new shock bushings, and installing a new compressor and seals for the air conditioning system. This XJ also features a factory sunroof, alloy wheels, and is loaded with the amenities that you'd expect in a British luxury saloon. Included are the original books, jack, and both sets of keys. Motivation comes from the venerable 4.2-liter inline six with Bosch fuel injection.

Finding a Jaguar XJ of this generation in this condition that drives as well as this one does is a rarity. Considering it recently scored 99.9 points in a Concours d'Elegance in the Preservation Class, it may be the perfect example for the collector who appreciates an original example with a splendid patina.

Estimate: US$25,000 - 35,000
