Cars for SALE

A very rare opportunity: The XJS V12 Convertible featuring in the Oz & James Wine tour screened on BBC TV in 2006 and comprehensively rejuvenated by KWE shortly afterwards is available for sale! This must be the most photographed XJS in the world with hours of footage on prime time television. James May had KWE locate him a car for the show and then we bought it back and restored it for its new owner in early 2007, since when it has covered only 700 miles. This owner is emigrating and wants us to sell the car. See our restoration gallery. This car is in superb condition with KWE suspension, power-enhanced 5.3 litre engine, new interior, convertible hood and much more. See specification. The 2007 restoration cost over £38,000 and the car is now for sale at £29,500.

Another rare car for sale: A KWE-Upgraded XJS V12 1990 coupé. In June 2007 we restored and upgraded the suspension to our RS specification, fitted our HDV 17 inch pepperpot wheels and enhanced the engine power substantially. This very low mileage car (38700 miles) is finished in Jade green and is a virtually flawless example of the best of the V12s. The original interior is exceptionally good, and the car is to be sold with its high performance Alpine media centre and, optionally, a SatNav unit. KWE have regularly serviced this car and we can vouch for its superb condition. Available for immediate sale at £15,900. Pictures

KWE are pleased to offer this Jaguar V12 Sovereign for sale on behalf of its current owner. We supplied the car in February 2007 with approx 71,000 miles and at time of writing (Jan 08) the speedometer reads 76,000. At the time the car was supplied we carried out a full KWE suspension/brakes/steering renewal and upgrade. We also performed a major engine service replacing all perishables such as hoses, belts, and ignition leads etc, along with a full cooling system renewal. We fitted larger (16 x 7”) alloy wheels to allow better tyres to be fitted, a full stainless exhaust, new headlining and much more. This Jaguar has also recently been fitted with an LPG system and upgraded audio. In our opinion this is a very nice and usable V12 Jaguar in an attractive colour scheme which has had some key improvements carried out. We consider the car to be in outstanding condition inside and out, reliable and very much a delight to drive as is, or an exceptional opportunity to make further improvements such as a full engine rebuild and all new interior. The car is offered for sale at £12995. Viewings by appointment.
