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.

First registered in Barnsley in September, 1990, this desirable straight-six XJ-S looks splendid in what we believe to be Jaguar’s Glacier White. While the interior appears very well-preserved and original, the exterior finish was brought up to its present standard by a repaint in the hands of the late owner, which may have been part of some wider restoration work. Regrettably, we do not know much of the Jaguar’s history, except that documents confirm it entered the owner’s possession not later than 2023. The MOT records indicate that it was in regular use from 2006 until 2016. The mileage stood at 62,492 miles at the time of the 2006 test, and the annual mileage remained low until the period from 2012 to 2014, when the Jaguar covered some 20,000 miles. Having been taken off the road in 2016, the Jaguar did not drive again until it was recommissioned earlier this year by the late owner, passings its MOT in May with no advisories. Based on the consistent records from 2006, we might confidently suppose the present mileage of 87,500 miles to be original. The Jaguar is sold with the current V5C and photographs of the repaint, and should present many wonderful opportunities for grand-touring in 2026.

PLEASE NOTE: This car was subject to a Category C insurance write-off in 2014. Intending purchasers should make their own enquiries to its current suitability for road use.
