Design plans for the XJS got underway in 1965, with the first production car being sold in 1975. The car was primarily designed by Malcolm Sayer, with input and control from Sir William Lyons. With Jaguar struggling financially at the time, the XJS needed to be a big success. The highly anticipated XJS was seen by many as a direct replacement to the very popular E-Type. However, when the XJS was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1976, it was clear that the car was intended to be in a league of its own. In 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a silky V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive and production continued until 1996.

This cherished XJS 4.0 comes with a fully stamped service book up to 116,000 miles (currently recording c.129,000) and an advisory free MoT until April 2026. Mechanically the car is said to drive very well with "excellent oil pressure etc". Presented in Jaguar 'Kingfisher Blue' over Oatmeal leather with walnut fascia, it is supplied with aforementioned current MoT, comprehensive service history and Swansea V5c document and sits on four matching Pirelli P6000 tyres.
