Description

This is a stunning Jaguar XJS 4 ltr straight 6 Convertible with less than 50,000 miles with full service history. This is the insignia model so this is truly a one of colour . This car comes complete with a brand new mot and full service as from last week. The car is faultless and is from a private collection Since 2017 it has covered 3,000 miles. As you can see from the photos the car in garaged and in fantastic condition Along with the new MOT and full service a new battery was also fitted. A full full history of paperwork to back up this beautiful car With a 20-year production run from 1975 to 1996, the XJ-S was a great success for Jaguar, even if it was met with mixed reactions when it first appeared. The angular styling, some said, failed to live up to the standard set by its predecessor, the E-type, but since that is repeatedly said to be the most beautiful car ever made, we'll let the XJ-S off the hook. Either way, it was good enough for Simon Templar, so it's certainly good enough for us. It's a pity the styling was divisive, because the mechanicals underpinning it were not to be sniffed at. For the first few years, every XJ-S left Browns Lane with the 5.3-litre V12, introduced in 1971, which was passed on from the Series III E-type. Whereas E-types had often been manuals, though, XJ-Ss were predominantly automatics, marking a shift in character from sports-car to luxury grand tourer. The final incarnation of the XJS appeared in 1991, when it received a more aerodynamic facelift and the AJ6 six-cylinder engine was increased to four litres. The brakes were also upgraded, but the automatic six-cylinder continued to use the electronic ZF4HP24E gearbox. A few lucky customers were able to purchase an Insignia model, denoting special paint and trim options available on the XJS and XJ40. Jaguar said of them: This new range offers the opportunity of owning a car which, more than ever before, can precisely reflect personal taste And so this insignia is believed to be the only XJS in this colour making it completely unique
