Lot 113: Jaguar XJS 6.0 Coupe

The XJS was launched over 32 years ago and remained in production for over 17 years. Often mis-described as an E-Type replacement, which it never was, the XJS was actually a supreme GT Car, in the fullest sense of the word. Highly capable of cover thousands of miles at a whisper, with excellent handling, nearly 300bhp under the bonnet and an interior that took car of two occupants very well, the XJS was a quite success story. During its 20 year production run, there were various special versions of the XJS, which included TWR built 6.0 cars. These 6.0 cars were being offered when the standard production engine was still a 5.3 but towards the end of its life a new breed of 6.0 car was offered. These later cars came with factory body styling, uprated suspension and were produced in very limited numbers. This 1993 (94 model) example is said to have originally been registered to the Jaguar Cars Executive fleet and is also said to have recently benefited from an overhaul of the air com system, which included a new compressor. Finished in the desirable Silver Frost with cherry red, leather, interior, the car is said to be in very good order.
