The E Type replacing XJS appeared in Jaguar showrooms from 1975. Sharing much of its running gear with the XJ6 and XJ12 saloons, albeit with shortened wheelbase and either 3.6-litre six (from 1983) or 5.3-litre twelve underbonnet, the Malcolm Sayer styled model was much more of a grand tourer with a decent-sized boot than a sportscar.
Originally supplied by Grange Jaguar of Exeter, this Jaguar XJS V12 auto model was manufactured at the famous Browns Lane factory in 1992. The service history on file is certainly extensive with fourteen dealer stamps recorded in the service booklet from new. Having only covered 18,000 miles in the first nine years, the odometer read 33,000 miles when entered and this is believed by the vendor to be the genuine total.
Fully loaded with all the usual refinements one might expect to have on a top of the range model, the leather trimmed seats are heated as well as being electrically-adjustable and, usefully, having a memory facility to repeat settings automatically. The high specification includes cruise control and an immobiliser, while the air-conditioning system was recharged in July 2001.
Current condition of the bodyshell is rated as excellent with body panels and Kingfisher Blue paint also said to be very good. Reportedly in excellent order, too, are magnolia leather interior, immensely powerful yet super-smooth 5.3-litre V12, 3-speed automatic transmission and all electrical items. This XJS is as good as it gets, claims the owner. Check it out for yourself.
