The Appeal
Initially designed to compete with Italian competitors of the era, the XJS would become one of Jaguar’s finest grand tourers, renowned for its iconic styling, and excellent balance of comfort and performance. Despite a turbulent market during launch, the XJS also became one of Jaguar’s longest-produced vehicles, earning the admiration and respect of many a motorist along the way.
Today, the XJS’s qualities remain ever-prominent, leaving keen enthusiasts and collectors on the search for tidy examples to enjoy. Presented today, is arguably one of the finer opportunities to do so in recent times, in the form of this gorgeous 1994 model, finished in Rose Bronze.
This sleek Jaguar boasts just 6 former keepers, and now displays a mere 66k on the clock, with an impressive original condition to suit. In addition to displaying excellent preservation and care with the interior & exterior, the vehicle also benefits from plenty of prior maintenance and performs spectacularly today.
