The interior presents particularly well, with a well-kept and honest feel throughout, retaining the atmosphere that made the XJS such a distinctive long-distance GT.

Mechanicals

Powered by Jaguar’s 4.0-litre AJ6 inline-six, this facelift XJS delivers smooth, usable performance and improved efficiency over the earlier V12 cars, earning its reputation as the “driver’s choice” engine.

The vendor advises the car starts, runs and drives well, although there is a noted knock from one of the front corners, diagnosed as a suspension arm or bushes.
