Desirable 'Celebration' final year model finished in Carnival Red with Cream leather interior
Just 29, 800 miles on the odometer believed correct, with 1 former keeper
First registered on March 1st 1996, via Lancaster Jaguar of Sevenoaks, Kent
Thoroughly revamped thanks to a cash injection from then owner Ford, Jaguar’s XJS (previously XJ-S) re-emerged in 1991 with a choice of punchy straight-six (3980cc) or soporific V12 (5343cc) engines; the former DOHC unit developing 223bhp/ 283lbft. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4. 0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive. Production continued until 1996 by which time the final series ‘Celebration’ cars had arrived. Boasting a unique specification in recognition of Jaguar’s 60th Anniversary, they sported chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; diamond cut alloy wheels; wood trim for the steering wheel and gearlever; and seats featuring embossed Jaguar 'leapers' and contrasting piping.
