Launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, 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 soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp / 283lbft. 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.
Finished in Kingfisher Blue with Doeskin leather upholstery, 'L408 EON' is described by the vendor as being in 'good' (electrical equipment) or 'very good' (engine, automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) condition. Displaying some 142,000 miles to its odometer and MOT tested until 26th September 2019, the Jaguar is said to 'drive extremely well and perform fine in traffic on a daily basis' and to 'always get favourable comments'.
