Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Started easily and the engine ran well. During a short test drive in residential areas and on through roads at a leisurely pace, everything was perceived to function well regarding steering, automatic gearbox with kickdown, road holding and brakes. The staff who had driven the car the good 200 km to Stockholm had the same impression. Not inspected on a lift, but what could be seen looked good and the undercarriage felt fine without any concrete signs of rust. No comments from the vehicle inspection authority regarding the undercarriage.
-
Interior condition
Fine original condition with mild wear from use. Comfortable and well-maintained seats, good door panels, panels and textile carpets. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard and gauges in fine condition, likewise the wood trim details. All gauges and electrical functions work well. Equipment includes cruise control, trip computer and electric mirrors. The AC function is uncertain and needs attention. Targa roof panels and soft top in good condition. The headliner in the Targa roof panels is however partially sagging. Functioning period Blaupunkt stereo, including manual.

Owner's comment
Facts about the model
From the beginning, the XJ-S was intended only as a coupé. The main reason was that safety considerations in the US and Europe meant that the pleasure and possibility of buying and driving an open new car were being phased out. As always, the market ultimately decides, and after a time open versions of the XJ-S were requested and built through private initiatives. So in the mid-80s came a Targa variant similar to the BMW Bauer and Triumph Stag.
More and more people began to demand cabriolets at this time, and manufacturers followed suit. Eventually, one could also get one's XJ-S as a fully open cabriolet from model year 1988.
In 1991 came a facelift with, among other things, a modified rear end that aligned with the design of other Jaguar models. Then and in the years that followed, the engines were upgraded, the six to 4.0L and the twelve to 6.0L. In 1995, the latter engine and the XJ-S, now without the hyphen, were taken out of production. The following year, the six-cylinder variant also disappeared. Now Jaguar was ready with its successor, the XK8.
So, if the XJ-S had a slow start, it eventually lasted well over 20 years and was manufactured in 115,413 examples. An unusually high figure for a car of that caliber.
