The XJS was launched in 1975, and whilst the fabulous V12 engine could deliver outstanding performance, its thirst for petrol was legendary, which caused problems in the USA, where Jaguar were fined for publishing misleading figures. This promoted the first big change for the model, which was the new HE or High Efficiency engine in 1981. This combined with the much longer final drive, gave the XJS much better fuel economy, which was bearable.

The Jaguar XJS offers its owners a slice of motoring history, defying critics to become one of the world's most successful GT cars. From the introduction of the HE engine in 1982, the 3.6 AJ6 engine in 1984, which expanded to four litres in 1989, the cabriolet in 1985, the full convertible in 1988 and the face-lift model in 1993 to the final commemorative model in 1995,the XJS was continuously developed during its 20 year production life.

The Jaguar XJS V12 HE offered here is described by the vendor as having some areas of the bodywork that require attention. The interior is said to be very good but would benefit from a replacement headlining, and the engine is strong with the car driving very well. It is finished in white with blue leather trim and has covered 86,600 miles, with a current MOT until November 2018. Supplied complete with registration number JAG 24Y.

Guide Price: £2,500 to £4,000
