Default Intersting XJS with 6.5 V12
Would probably take a punt, if it weren't for the bodykit:

Too bad there's no indication of mileage in the ad. I'm no expert but I think it has a 3.6's bonnet, so maybe it has always been a manual. I hope it's not the original Getrag 265

VIN does decode as 3.6 manual.

It is a Chasseur conversion, and I wonder if there is a typo in the description, as it says it has a 6.5 engine. Could it be a 3.6? as Chasseur did far more 3.6 souped-up versions than 5.3.

A manual with a 3.6 would be very interesting. You could actually go somewhere without stopping at every gas station.

In the car’s MOT history, it’s mileage is showing as just under 222,000 in October 2017 ��
