OUT OF THE BOX! Jaguar XJS 4.0 Celebration Coupe @ The Malton Motor Company

[@keithmoore4776]

Stunning! The best XJS I’ve ever seen, a proper car. Colour combination is perfect. You guys have done a fab job and I don’t blame you for keeping it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ralph007silver]

That is incredible, an absolute showstopper. I'm not surprised you're keeping that for yourself.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you

[@KG-vn8ou]

A rare beauty👍. You can’t sell it because you just can’t put a price on a classic in this condition. It’s almost priceless.

[@Kimpotter-yt4ly]

Despite its age it is still a beautifully designed car by today's standards....a real Jaguar classic!

[@aadd3538]

This is a beautiful design. It will always be adored.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you! 😊

My late step-dad was a senior test driver at Jaguar Browns Lane when I was a child in the 1970's. He would occasionally come around in an E-Type and would take me out for a blast along the country lanes of rural Warwickshire. One day he arrived in a car that was cloaked in hardwood to disguise it, with just a slit in the front to see out of! Anyway, I was lucky enough to get a trip out in it even though I had to sit on little more than a wooden box. It was like a spaceship inside with wires going everywhere. Well it turns out I was sitting in a prototype XJS (sadly I can't recall the designation it had at the time). I was incredibly impressed as any young lad would be... Fast forward to 1993 and I eventually bought myself a 5.3 V12. What a machine, although it was let down in the end by rust..such a shame. Nonetheless I still have a soft-spot for these icons of Coventry.

[@taxpayer1040]

An absolutely stunning car. It is one of those that when you park up and walk away from you turn look back and smile. I would buy it no question.

[@jagster0810]

I had a 1995 4L XJS for 9 years and put over 90k miles on it. Just pre Celebration model, same colour scheme, twin headlights, loved it, wish I never got rid of it!

[@iMANC1966]

I'm old enough to remember XJS's on the roads. Always a dream car but could never afford one. A beautiful design that has aged well. Your car is a stunning example and I hope you enjoy every minute of ownership of her. Well done.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you my friend, that’s a very nice & kind comment.

[@gingercat555]

I very much doubt that any XJS coming from the factory never ever looked as good as your car ... many congratulations on your work and extensive attention to detail ... I would not sell it if I owned it and yes your correct you will not find a equal or better finished Jaguar XJS ... great job to all that worked on this car ... really enjoyed the video.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you for your support and kind comments.

[@adamtarrington6541]

What a stunner. Great work 👌🏻

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thanks a lot!

[@steveburn8125]

I’m checking my lottery numbers right now, I want that beauty in my garage ❤

[@carlfama140]

This surely is the best example in the WORLD today. Just like magic,it's amazing. Well done to all the hard working team.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you mate. Your extremely kind

[@RomanAlexander1]

One of those 'I remember exactly where and when moments'. .....super, super, looking thing that looks better the more you look at it.. I suspect Matt that you've pushed it beyond what even Jaguar could imagine. You are absolutely right to keep it for yourself. Agree with you on the colour combo, but there was a late run blue that matched it. 10/10 ❤

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thanks Roman, it’s very kind of you to write such a wonderful comment. Hope you’re ok my friend.

[@derekstocker6661]

Must say, I can understand you wanting to keep this and I am sure you have someone who wants first offer IF and WHEN you do decide to sell! What an absolute beauty, fabulous colourcom and condition is as good as new. I recall these when they first came out and was more than impressed then, this is such a brilliant looker AND condition is as you say "out of the box". Well done!

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you my friend

[@terryramsey1470]

She's a beauty fellas you have smashed it out of the park again with this 👏 one 👏 🙌 ❤ 😊

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you! Cheers!

What a glorious machine , I can TASTE the mint from here & in my favourite hue too...these just cannot get better.

[@aceace5457]

i remember back in the day that my cousin had one of those but the older model reg jde something boy did it fly lol my father at the time tested it out with me sitting in that cramped space in the back and boy it was a pocket rocket.

[@SA300]

Wow! What a car! Well done for sourcing and preparing what must be the shiniest car in the country.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you 🙏

[@TipTopMotors.]

That is beautiful, right colour right everything and you do right to keep it for yourself. Its obviously in the right home. You stock and sell some lovely cars.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you so much!

[@agentw211]

Another gorgeous Jaguar ❤ Matt the work you and your team do with these classics is second to none! It is very much appreciated by us Jaguar lovers, my dream is to own a malton motor company Jaguar one day.. brilliant mate 👍

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

You’re very kind indeed, we are here when you’re ready! All the very best.

[@robbey300]

That is a keeper, for sure!

[@GreeklishOutdoors]

A fantastic example of this model. Having seen it in person, I can honestly say you've done a fantastic job of restoring it. Great work 👍🙂

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you so much 😀

[@JonDingle]

What a beauty! Have had two V12 XJS's in my time and loved them both because there is nothing like an XJS experience.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you 🙏

[@michaelhart895]

Just pure class , I wish I could afford it. Maybe one day .

[@neil12nealison]

That shape just gets better with age ❤

[@GaryHoldstock]

Stunning!

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@carlfama140]

Wow she is exceptional beauty.x

[@joemcguckin2063]

An absolute belter of a car,beautifully restored.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you

[@HKB-1]

Stunning.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you!

[@stevecotterill7981]

What a lovely colour combo. Looks very classy inside and out. I always look forward to your videos. This imo was the most successful XJS shape with the redesigned side windows. Enjoy it. 😊

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you so much!

[@deanhall5363]

Still the best looking jag and my second best colour for this car as I still love them in black, the work carried out is perfect and who ever did it should be very proud of bringing this car back to its former glory.

[@colinwhite5355]

“Brand new wiper blades”. That was funny. What a beautiful car. Well done. Also liked, “This is a keeper”. Lol. Number of times I’ve said, or heard, that.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thanks 👍

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

🤣

[@paulgeraghty1448]

Just fabulous👍

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kenbradley5035]

Great car, these are so under appreciated due to the long production run... now people are starting to sit up and take notice, just look at the style - so sleek and sophisticated, you could still turn up at the smartest event and put modern luxury cars into the shade and Europe seems to be leading the market. Good luck with this stunning model. I will try to send you some factory information with this model.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Great point! Please do send me the info. All the very best 🙏

[@markashby2622]

That car is a work of art.

[@zacanderson8282]

Absolutely incredible vehicle, love it. Well done

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thanks a lot!

[@mrgrumpy9077]

Love it love it love it 🤩 fancy showing us that beauty and then saying it's a keeper you teaser 😂

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Sorry… 😂

[@bmw850civ12]

Sou fã deste modelo! Este exemplar é sem dúvida, o mais lindo que eu já vi!

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you very much my friend for your kind comment. All the best!

[@marchy51]

Thats is a thing of beauty 😍

[@LornaPettit-f3r]

I remember our crap press knocking Leyland Cars, now everyone wants one ! I had the 3.6 version back in the day, I did high miles and this BL car ran faultlessly, got knicked 113 on M4 by an unmarked Sierra Cosworth .

[@ScratchySlide]

I'd absolutely keep it as well. Beautiful.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

That's the plan!

[@thomasrogers4534]

I'm drooling over this car? I had, 20yrs ago a 3.6 manual (10 years old when I bought it) and that was cheaper in repairs then my now 1.0L Ford Focus ecoboost Estate over the same time period of 10yrs. Sold it on as a running, driving and mot'd for £500.

[@johnbell1859]

This car is beautiful, you are very right to keep and enjoy it. 🇬🇧

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you 🙏

[@MissStar-yp5gd]

I'm really pleased that you've fallen in love with it it demonstrates your absolute passion . Regards . Haley

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you Haley 🙏

[@davewheeler7679]

Classy coupe

[@cliffburdett7700]

what a stunning motor!! to nice to use,,fantastic colour

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

We agree!

[@halfasixpence]

Stunning just howa sports car should look.

[@davidstuart4915]

when Jags were Jags... :)

[@johnlunnun9769]

What a beautiful car!❤❤❤

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you 👍

[@iconicetiquette4546]

My favourite colour 🎉

[@tombilton1503]

This is such a beautiful looking car, all jaguar had to do is bring its design into the 21st century, Chip Foose or Dave Kindig could easily do this.

[@flyingfox7854]

I (very stupidly) sold my Jaguar XJS Celebration … 4lt straight six in Jaguar Turquoise last year … if you see it at Classic Car Shows around the UK the registration number is N80XJS … wish I hadn’t sold it now 😢

[@tonywatkins8254]

Magnificent example, but everything has a price, my friend. How much?

[@gregsimister2396]

What a teaser 😂

[@carlfama140]

Amazing people.

[@2.fresh767]

Immaculate machine

[@iconicetiquette4546]

Love it😊

[@jackcalder2937]

Worthy of being a Bond car

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Definitely 💯 agree

[@dannyperfect9270]

What'd the score with modern fuel for these Jags i.e. ethanol? Does it erode fuel pipes?

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Yes they run perfectly on E5 super unleaded, I always put a fuel stabilising agent in as well.

[@philf5043]

Brilliant job .... just a pity you left the leaper on the bonnet ...doesnt do it for me.

[@johnbarclay5964]

Pure class

[@joobie1000]

Mint 👌👌

[@wideyxyz2271]

❤

[@iconicetiquette4546]

I wonder how much

[@melvinphillips786]

Why oh why do people ruin later jags by putting mascots on the bonnet, I’d want it removed, bonnet repaired and repainted. The thick end of £2k to put it right.

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Melvin… keep your hair on! If you have any! lol The leaper is simply my choice, it’s my car… = I do what I want. I don’t require your permission or consent. Thank you. I’m not interested in what you do with your personal car. It’s your choice. The facts…. FYI the bonnet leaper was a standard issue factory feature of this car’s era for several big Jaguar markets which the UK was not one. The bonnets were pre-drilled from the factory prior to paint, this was so leapers could be fitted for the big purchasing world markets (countries)… the holes were there already so the UK market cars had bonnet badges fitted as standard to cover the holes. Different legislation at the time. In the era of this car only fixed leapers were available. In following years a spring loaded leaper was developed for safety and could then be retrofitted perfectly legally in the UK, some UK franchise dealers would fit them on request. The spring loaded leapers were never fitted as standard on UK cars from the factory but Jaguar still fitted them on new cars for some of the big markets around the world. The spring loaded leapers superseded the fixed leapers on the cars sold abroad. The UK cars had badges which were fastened to the bonnet via a bolt which went through one bigger hole and the badge locator pin went through another smaller pre-drilled hole. The bonnet leapers can be fitted via the same holes. NO NEW HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED IN THE BONNET TO ATTACH THE BONNET MASCOT ON THIS CAR! NO NEED FOR YOUR £2k REPAIR BILL AFTER ALL IS THERE? EDUCATION IS A WONDERFUL THING MY FRIEND. Thanks for your comment as it’s helped me put a few people right in one go.

[@salesWatnall]

YOU CAN BUY A USABLE XJS FOR UNDER 10K, I BET THAT ONE WOULD SELL FOR 30K PLUS MAY BE 40K ??

[@sjaguartype]

Far too many experiences in my dads v-12 he, v-12, and a TWR xjs

[@terryferguson4865]

I don't blame you sir i would not sell it how could you top class car from a top class team

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thanks Terry… your very kind

[@janicelongford9203]

How much is this car worth?

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

As much as some is prepared to pay

[@rolkaz1804]

Durch Monate lange zusatzarbeiten wird so ein Fahrzeug unbezahlbar 😅

[@markherzog9484]

Jaaaaaaaaaag

[@ARCHSTANTON61]

Chinese tires ?

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

No, Japanese tyres. I research tyres thoroughly before I decide to buy. I usually use Dunlop SP Sport but after careful research these Falken tyres out perform most top brands including Pirelli. KWE a trusted classic Jaguar restoration company in the UK also highly recommends them and got them to their cars.

[@paulcalland5657]

A true classic

[@garymorris801]

What a stunner

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]

Thank you 🙏

[@speeddemon9555]

how much $ ?

[@themaltonmotorcompany5964]
