⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

An instant candidate as a show winner, it wouldn't take much effort to bring up to concours standards - not your average XJ-S; this is investment grade quality.

The XJ-S started its life in less than auspicious circumstances, with the fuel crisis and ongoing quality issues taking its toll, the new Grand Touring luxury cruiser had to navigate through some stormy weather by the time it emerged into the 1980s with an improved outlook. In 1983, a new 3.6-litre straight-six engine was installed, producing a useful 221 bhp, giving the design a new lease of life while providing decent performance with respectable fuel economy. The revamped XJ-S's success was also aided by substantial adjustments to the engineering, materials and build quality.

By the late 1980s, Jaguar had completely recovered from the dark days of BL ownership and became a shining example of a premium mass-produced brand. While it retained much of the styling cues from the original 1975 design including those distinctive buttresses C pillars, there were significant revisions to the suspension, engine management system and interior fittings.

This has to be a unique opportunity to obtain one of the most original 3.6-litre XJ-S coupes we have encountered. It was bought new in 1988 from Evans Halshaw Birmingham by its current owner and lived its whole life within a 20-mile radius of its Browns Lane birthplace. It has been exceptionally well looked after and has a recorded mileage of just 11,965 miles.

If you've been looking for an investment grade XJ-S then this could be the very thing for you.
