Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS 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 the 5.3 litre V12 engine, still claimed a top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds.

With just 32,800 miles from new and supplied new by Heddell and Deeks Motors Ltd (Jaguar) of Dorset, 'E149 RFX' is finished in the tasteful and elegant Talisman Silver, complemented with a Deep Blue leather interior and hood, the latter used with the supplied matching tonneau cover. Within the cabin the Jaguar supplied in-car systems are still in place in the form of a radio cassette head unit and an economy/ trip computer along with 'speed control'.

The convertible 'cat' was the subject of a major service and mechanical fettling just last year (2021). New front calipers, new Pirelli tyres, a refurbished back axle, a new stainless steel exhaust system and mechanical fettling at a cost of c.£2,400, is documented in a collection of invoices. Offered with its tool kit, original bookpack, handbooks, service book and a collection of old MOT documents there is also a recent MOT (into August 2023). The vendor currently grades the paintwork, interior, engine and gearbox all as 'Very Good'.
