Description
Introduced at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show, the XJ-S ushered in a new generation of GT motoring from Jaguar with elegant styling, superlative performance and exceptional luxury and remained in production for the best part of two decades - testament to the popularity of the original concept and quality of the design. The XJ-S was powered by the superbly refined and smoothly powerful 60-degree all-alloy V12, with a single overhead camshaft per bank, fuel injection and 285bhp produced from 5.3-litres to provide effortless performance. To match the smoothness of the V12, the vast majority were sold with three (later four) speed automatic transmissions. The XJ-S represents excellent value for money and most pundits agree prices can only increase for good specimens - while ownership brings great rewards.
