Introduced in October, 1983, the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 was intended to be a sharper, more sporting foil to the range's established, soporific 5.3-litre V12 model. To emphasise the difference, it was fitted with a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox as standard. With some 225bhp and 240lb. ft. of torque on tap courtesy of its 3,590cc DOHC 24-valve straight-six, the claimed 140mph top speed and 0-60mph time of 7.4 seconds were a near match for the V12. Yet when such performance was not called upon, it could reputedly return thirty miles per gallon, a feat beyond the V12's capabilities. A revised, more positive feel to the power steering improved the handling still further.
In single family ownership from new this exemplary XJ-S Auto was supplied to our vendor by Henly's Jaguar Chester in 1988. He specified the colour, wheels and interior trim. It is fitted with air conditioning which was last serviced in 2018. In highly original condition owing to the c.62,000 recorded miles, C7 MMA is finished in Talisman silver metallic over grey leather and Cheviot tweed interior. 29 services are recorded from Jaguar Chester (Henly's, Rybrook, HA Fox, Inchcape) plus another 4 services recorded afterwards. The only reason it couldn’t continue to be serviced at Jaguar Chester was that they lost their heritage technician and had no replacement to work on this era of Jaguar. Benefiting from a new water pump in 2015 and rear brake overhaul in 2017, both less than 2,000 miles ago, it is offered with full book pack, service invoices, period MOT's to 1991 and current V5C which records 2 former keeper's (the vendor's business and his late-wife). Worthy of close inspection, it is anticipated a new MOT will be in place for the sale.
