Factory Options; Electric tilt/ slide sunroof, cruise control, 12-way electric memory seats with electric steering column, rear sunblind, tool kit, carpet mats, detachable towbar and electrics, full size spare wheel.
EXTERIOR
The XJR is certainly one of the most charismatic and exciting cars and this prime example is finished in stunning cost optional Sapphire Blue, (Code JHE). A uniform deep gloss shine is immediately evident with only a few touched in marks, most noteworthy is one to the rear lower bumper. The unique wire-mesh grille and window and screen surrounds in black give hint to the power and all other trim, chrome and light lenses are in excellent condition with factory fitted glass retaining all stickers and etchings. There is a tiny chip to the very top of the front screen. Jaguar main dealer number plates remain fitted and the underside is clean. Graceful, sleek and with a low-slung stance, this car simply exudes sporting elegance.
INTERIOR
A sumptuous and luxurious interior is thoroughly commensurate with the low mileage this performance saloon has covered. The beautiful upholstery is trimmed in premium Oatmeal Leather Hide and Warm Charcoal, (Code AGD), and is virtually unmarked. Distinguishing features are the XJR’s wood and leather steering wheel with wooden gearknob and wooden veneers in Birdseye Maple, all perfect. The driver has no shortage of equipment and safety features all of which work perfectly, including the climate control. The headlining is perfect with no sagging and the deep pile carpeting is clean and retains its fullness due to carpet mats fitted from new. There is a small mark to the ‘J’ gate decal. All factory options function including the electric sunroof and cruise control. Sheer automotive indulgence with classic pedigree.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The source of the XJR’s dynamic versatility is the 4. 0 litre AJ-V8 32-valve quad overhead cam engine powered by an intercooled supercharger boosting output to 370bhp. This is a 27% increase over the conventionally aspirated engine and enough to reach 60mph in 5. 3 awe-inspiring seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph. The engine bay is spotlessly clean with all factory plates and stickers present. The optional tool storage compartment is complete and still includes bulbs and fuses. A dedicated electronic five-speed automatic transmission, uprated for strength is refined and responsive. The perfect combination.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
At the time the XJR had the largest wheels and lowest profile tyres ever seen on a production Jaguar saloon and all four Penta alloy wheels are immaculate with crystal clear growler badges. Premium Michelin Pilot tyres with ample grip are fitted. Powerful large ventilated discs front and rear have anti-lock braking and combined with stability control and traction control offer safe braking, stability and handling. The XJR is also fitted with Supersport suspension combined with CATS – electronically controlled electric dampers with are unyieldingly firm under stress yet smooth and comfortable under normal driving conditions.
