This extremely smart righthand drive home market example of a much loved breed has covered just 47,642 warranted miles from new, which have been accrued by a total of four owners. It is presented in the pleasing combination of Highland Green bodywork and Cream leather upholstery. The interior trim, hood and lining have all been recently replaced, as have the exhaust system, tyres and radiator, and the vendor presently regards the Jaguar as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior, 5.3-litre V12 engine and automatic transmission. 'A7 LTT' is now being sold complete with a full service history and book pack, every old MOT from new bar one, plus a current one valid to April 30 next year. A perfect car for the upcoming summer weather. Though something of a surprise replacement for the legendary E-Type, the XJ-S is a fine model that has grown more popular with time, and good ones are now increasingly keenly sought.
Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.
