Description
Jaguar XJS coupé 4. 0 – 1991 – France origin
Overdrive offers for sale this elegant 1991 XJS coupe.
This is a Phase 3 XJS, introducing an evolution of the 3. 6L 6‑cylinder engine that increases displacement to 4. 0L.
It is also distinguished by subtle styling updates, notably redesigned rear lights, and an improved interior finish.
This example was new in France by the Prestige Auto dealership in Montpellier. We have, which is rare, the 1992 purchase invoice for the car.
The car has subsequently remained in France and has had four owners to date.
Exterior: Gun Metal
Interior: Charcoal leather / Burl walnut finish
Powertrain: Six‑cylinder 4. 0L AJ6 245 bhp
First registration: 1991

History:
The car has a maintenance history with invoices, as well as technical inspection reports. Here are the latest costs that have been incurred:
- 2024: Replacement of all four tyres
- 2023: Rear brake overhaul (discs & pads), a costly operation on this model..
+ rear differential oil change in our workshops
- 2020: Air conditioning converted to the new gas

Like its elder sister XK8, the XJ-S is part of those charismatic coupés with timeless lines, adored by all car enthusiasts.
Mechanically, although less renowned than the mythical XK six, this AJ6 unit is more compact and features a modernised design that makes everyday use easier. This 4. 0L version delivers more torque than the 3. 6L, and better driving pleasure thanks to improved electronic management.
Certainly less melodious than the V12, it proves significantly cheaper to maintain and run.
This XJS comes with its two keys (+ valet key) and its original documentation.
It will be sold with a 6‑month warranty.
Viewable by appointment at our Venelles (Aix‑en‑Provence) premises.
