Details:
The renamed XJS was re-engineered in June 1990. The rear side windows appeared enlarged, and the buttresses stayed as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4.0-litre version of the AJ6. In 1992, a 4.0-litre convertible was added to the range. The V12's capacity was enlarged to 6.0 litres in May 1992. At the same time the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes, they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With the introduction of the 6.0-litre V12, the transmission was also updated to a GM 4L80E with a fourth-gear overdrive, whilst the automatic 4.0-litre models continued with the electronic ZF4HP24E transmission.
In April 1994, substantial revisions were made to the 4.0-litre AJ6 engine which became the 4.0-litre AJ16 with coil-on-plug ignition. In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of the Jaguar company. Celebration cars feature diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and a wooden steering wheel. The XJS was discontinued in 1996, after 21 years in production.

1991 Jaguar XJS V12 5.3L is described by the vendor as having all the comforts of a modern car but with that classic styling.The vehicle comes fitted with power steering, cruise control, electric windows, heated seats, electric seats, climate control, CD player
Externally the car has gleaming paintwork, good tyres (only 6 months old) and refurbished original alloy wheels to a high standard.
Internally the cream leather is fantastic and gives you a feeling of prestige. The rear seats are practically as new and front seats are not worn out. All wood on dash is fantastic and the old cracked wood around the gearbox has been replaced as has the headlining only 2 months ago.
Brakes are good and stop on the button. The powerful V12 engine purrs as it should and the car just sailed though its MOT.
Over six thousand spent on this car in the last 2 years to get it to the standard it deserves, two thousand of that was last month to ensure the car is ready for auction.
Big folder of old MOTs and invoices for work etc, and only 78k on the clock, you dont see many V12s with this low mileage in this condition.
