Westminster Blue over Cinnamon. A truly exquisite color combination. The moment you take a seat and turn the key, you know instantly: this is a Jaguar from a time when a V12 was simply a natural choice for a gentleman.
This Jaguar XJ12 Sovereign was delivered new in 1987 in Münster-Nienberge, Germany, and has covered just 95,000 kilometers since new. That is remarkably low mileage, especially for a twelve-cylinder Jaguar. Maintenance has been carried out properly and conscientiously, and the car is accompanied by its original book pack with service records and invoices. As a whole, it presents exactly as a well-preserved Series III should.
What makes this car so special? You see it in the condition of the paintwork in Westminster Blue. You feel it in the leather upholstery in Cinnamon—even more beautiful in person than in photographs. But above all, you hear it in the engine. Because the V12 in this Jaguar is a story in itself.
In 1979, the XJ received a significant update: the Series III. Pininfarina was involved, and it shows. The elegance lies in the details. A lower roofline, thicker yet still refined bumpers, flatter door handles. The result is a car that became more sophisticated without losing its dignified presence. Look closely and you’ll notice the subtle touches: the shape of the grille, the Hofmeister kink in the C-pillar, the wider rear lights with integrated reverse lamps. This was evolution, not revolution—and it worked perfectly.
Under the hood sits the legendary 5.3-liter V12. It runs whisper-smooth. There is no need to rush although it certainly can, should you ask it to. Power is abundant. But more than anything, it delivers silence, refinement, and effortless torque.
For the knowledgeable enthusiast, it is immediately clear: this is a beautifully preserved and highly original example. An honest car in outstanding condition. You see it in the details and feel it on the road. This Jaguar has been properly cared for, a fact clearly supported by its documentation and service history.
And let’s not forget: this is a Sovereign. The flagship specification. Generously equipped as standard and distinctly more luxurious than a base XJ12. Simply the right one. In short: a Jaguar exactly as you would want it—Westminster Blue, V12 power, and under 100,000 kilometers from new.
