The Jaguar XJS was a luxury car produced from 1975 through to
1996 and replaced the E-Type. Although it never had quite the same
sporting image. the XJS was a competent grand tourer and actually
more aerodynamic than the E-Type. Originally. power came from the
Jaguar V12 petrol engine with a choice of a manual or automatic
transmission. but the manual was soon dropped. V12 engined cars
were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from
Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The
specification of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it
was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7. 6 seconds and had a top speed
of 143mph. From 1988. a special XJR-S version of the V12 5. 3-litre
car was produced by Jaguar Sport. a separate company owned jointly
by Jaguar and TWR. This car had a distinctive body kit. special
alloy wheels and suspension together with a number of handling
improvements.

This is a four owner Jaguar XJR-S that was first registered
on 27th January 1989 having been supplied to Hartwell Jaguar of
Bristol. It was specified by the first owner. a Mr. P. G. Sykes. br/>that the rear boot spoiler be left out of the build process. and so
it was delivered. Finished in Solent Blue with magnolia trim. this
is a rare example and the 43. 31 miles is believed to be correct
although cannot be warranted. Equipped with the usual refinements
expected from a Jaguar; electric seats. air conditioning. leather
trim etc. this is an XJR-S that will stand out from the crowd and
would grace any collection. The most recent service appears to have
taken place in December. 2011 although we are informed that this
Jaguar has been rarely used in the intervening years. It
comes supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test
certificate valid until August. 2013 and presents in good order
throughout.
