1990 Jaguar XJS 37k Orig Miles Excellent Running and Driving Condition

The Jaguar XJ-S (later called XJS) is a luxury grand tourer manufactured and marketed by British car manufacturer Jaguar Cars from 1975 to 1996, in coupé, fixed-profile and full convertible bodystyles. There were three distinct iterations, with a final production total of 115,413 units over 20 years and seven months.

Originally developed using the platform of the then-current XJ saloon, the XJ-S was noted for its prominent rear buttresses. The early styling was partially by Jaguar's aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer—one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars—however Sayer died in 1970, before the design was finalized.

From July 1981, the XJ-S was renamed the XJ-S HE and received the new High-Efficiency V12 engine for much better fuel economy. With the Fire Ball combustion chamber designed by Swiss Engineer Michael May, power output was increased as a by-product to 295 hp or 263 hp in North America. At the same time, the XJ-S HE received changes to its exterior and interior (body-coloured boot trim in place of the standard previous black, new five-spoke (starfish) alloy wheels fitted with 215/70R15 Pirelli Cinturato P5, chrome inserts on the upper part of the bumpers, burled elm inserts on dashboard and door cappings).

This very nice example is a 2 owner car that has covered only 37,000 miles from new. The car has been in the current owner's care for the past 20 years and is used sparingly on sunny summer days only. The car is a regular on local JCNA and British car club drives. The car has been regularly serviced by qualified local Jaguar Mechanics over the past 20 years on an as needed basis, but has always been a very reliable tour car and really hasn't needed a huge amount of work over that time.

Always stored in climate controlled storage the car presents very well, and really needs nothing to be immediately enjoyed. The only flaws noted are a small ding on the hood which I believe could be remedied by a paintless dent remover, and some very minor scuffing on the drivers seat bolster both of which are pictured. The car runs and drives without fault, all the gauges work, and the Air Blows Cold.

The car is complete with its books tools and even a Jaguar Tool Set.

This is a great opportunity to get a Very Nice Jaguar XJS with the Legendary V12 that has been well looked after its entire life.
