Launched in September, 1975, as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJ-S could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 per cent. new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3, 980cc) or a soporific V12 (5, 343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lb. ft. of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the four-litre XJS (Ford dropped the hyphen) could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996.
This particularly appealing XJS is offered for sale from long-term ownership and has clearly been a cherished example, benefiting from an excellent maintenance and service history. Finished in the desirable shade of Carnival Red Metallic over a Cream leather interior, it presents an especially attractive combination. The car is accompanied by a large history file, which includes the original book pack, providing useful provenance and documentation for its life to date. A refined and capable Grand Tourer with enduring Jaguar appeal, this well-cared-for XJS would make a particularly enjoyable addition to any collection.
