Worse than error and understand why it is so irresistibly tasty.

The undersigned has a soft spot for the Jaguar XJ-S. not as graceful as its predecessor the E-Type, but for me, not less desirable. Especially if XJ-SC with V12 and manual gearbox (extremely rare for an XJ-SC), or a period tuned instance. This Koenig is clearly in that latter category. Culprit is in this case Koenig, the XJS, if possible, even wider and thicker made than Lister.

This instance is equipped with a V12, coupled to a 3-speed automatic from GM. This combination guarantees a high consumption, but the V12 has enough torque to make up for the lack of extra resist. It is unclear whether Koenig the Jagggg also motor has tackled, but I suspect not. That means that this instance is probably slower than an original XJ-S, since there is a lot of extra plastic meegezeuld should be. And just also the effect of a larger frontal surface, a rear in the size 275/55/15’t matter… All show, no go, just as the Mercedes 560 SEC Koenig that a few months ago on ebay, came along.

The owner of this XJ-S may be willing to offer on an online auction. The somewhat optimistic estimate of the revenue amounts to between 35.500 and 46.250 euros, the highest bid with six days to go is on a reasonable € 15,000.
