Driven from Estonia by it's owner, this rare LHD XJR-S 6.0 had it's V12 engine and gearbox fully rebuilt and detailed to look and perform as-new with zero miles. This was paired with our modern DEM upgrade to optimise the rebuilt 6-litre V12 and release it's full power potential by mapping on a dynamometer. The suspension, brakes and steering were fully stripped and rebuilt to Jaguar Sport specification, the main sub-frame assemblies were shot blasted, zinced and powder coated to ensure long life. All components including shocks, springs, discs, steering rack, PAS pump, bearings, bushes etc were replaced with new, reconditioned and uprated components.  It's interior leather trim was renewed completely in Magnolia stitched leather, new wool carpets and woods re-veneered in American Burr Walnut. The result was a reborn modern classic ready for comfortable fast road driving.
The owner sent his Jaguar XJ12 from Norway to KWE workshops to be fully restored, we carried out a full bare metal body restoration to remove all rust and repaint in Jaguar Opalescent Grey. The suspension, brakes and steering were fully stripped and rebuilt to KWE uprated Jaguar specification, the main sub-frame assemblies were shot blasted, zinced and powder coated to ensure long life. All components including shocks, springs, discs, steering rack, PAS pump, bearings, bushes etc were replaced and upgraded. The 6 litre V12 engine underwent a full strip and rebuild including full renewal of it's cooling system. It's interior was also fully renewed including plastic parts and carpets, Alcantara covered sun visors and headlining were opted for. The result was a uprated modern classic ready to be enjoyed as if it was driven out the showroom.

Intensive Engine Service, all new suspension, full respray, all new interior and hood, 2 piece 18 inch wheels, upgraded audio and many repairs.
In poor bodily shape this car will have a full body strip, shot-blast and lots of welding – but then it has lots of history! The current owner wants the original body repaired and prepared to last, with fully rebuilt engine and new interior. Not for the faint-hearted!
This car is highly specified by the owner and includes built-in sat-nav in bespoke centre console, Bluetooth, advanced audio, parking sensors, automatic driving mirror and much, much more.
He is the proud owner of this Jaguar XJS 3.6 litre and he is one of our most loyal and frequent customers. “It’s cool to be young in an old car,” Sam comments. Since 2009, KWE have been on an exciting journey with Sam and his car.
