1987Jaguar XJS 3.6

Jaguar decided not to replace the legendary E type with another true sports car, instead the XJS was always designed as a "grand tourer', so it was built to a very different set of parameters. Jaguar simply followed the trends of the time in considering that the age of the sports car was over. Changing ideas, with a significant emphasis on safety, particularly in the very important US market, meant that Jaguar, like many other manufacturers gave up on the two seat open top sports car concept. The XJS certainly wasn't universally liked when it was launched in 1975, and it took some years to establish itself as a fine motor car in its own right. Poor sales and a thirst for fuel nearly caused its downfall during its first five years in production.

With only 69000 miles from new this XJS is presented in superb condition. Presented with a fully serviced original handbook stamped to the present day, the car has clearly been cherished throughout its life.

The car benefits from a new headliner along with a recent service. Also presented with the car is a great history file containing previous MoTs, Jaguar guarantee book, original handbook and Clarion handbook for the radio.

A lovely car that is now deserving of a new owner who will appreciate and enjoy this capable motorcar in the Grand Touring manner for which it was designed and built....
