ABOUT THE CAR FOR SALE: Jaguar never produced the XJS as a station wagon; Shooting Brakes were built in very limited numbers by specialist workshops, giving these examples a unique status in the classic Jaguar market. Jaguar XJS Shooting Brakes are among the rarest and most distinctive variants of the XJS. Their limited production, handcrafted nature, and roadworthiness make them highly sought-after by discerning collectors.

This Jaguar XJS HE ​​V12 Shooting Brake is an extremely rare example, the result of a conversion carried out in the late 1980s on an original Jaguar XJS V12 chassis.

Conducted by Les Ateliers Réunis, founded by Philippe Aubry, it bears the number 2 on its conversion plate.

The seller has owned the car for over twenty years. This model is intended for a discerning collector who appreciates well-documented, unique, and consistent examples.
