The XJS was launched in 1975, and whilst the fabulous V12 engine could deliver outstanding performance, its thirst for petrol was legendary, which caused problems in the USA, where Jaguar were fined for publishing misleading figures. This promoted the first big change for the model, which was the new HE or High Efficiency engine in 1981. This combined with the much longer final drive, gave the XJS much better fuel economy, which was bearable.

The Jaguar XJS offers its owners a slice of motoring history, defying critics to become one of the world's most successful GT cars. From the introduction of the HE engine in 1982, the 3.6 AJ6 engine in 1984, which expanded to four litres in 1989, the cabriolet in 1985, the full convertible in 1988 and the face-lift model in 1993 to the final commemorative model in 1995,the XJS was continuously developed during its 20 year production life.

The vendor purchased this car a year ago, and it was bought from the nephew of its long-term owner of 25 years, whose initials are on the registration. The car comes with all of its Jaguar documentation, including service books and all MOTs from 1994 except for 2001. A Jaguar Service Manual is also included along with the tool kit.

The vendor states that the car drives nicely with no clunks, rattles or smoke; the suspension is smooth and last weekend it was taken to the XJS day at the British Motor Museum. The targa tops can be stowed in the case in the boot.

Prior to the vendor’s ownership, the rear sub frame was dropped to replace the callipers, discs and pads. It also had a new water pump and coolant flush. In the present ownership it’s had the manifold skimmed to cure a blow, new tyres and some professional welding to the n/s seat belt anchorage and the sills re-painted. The oil and filter have been changed along with the fuel filter.

The only issues at present is the handbrake has stopped working, and the driver's electric window needs attention. There are a couple of rust bubbles on the boot lid and one on driver's door.
