This pristine XJS was purchased new at Westlake Import Motors in Illinois in July of 1992, and was a cherished and pampered 'sunny-day-only' car until it's original owner was no longer able to drive. Stewardship was passed to an enthusiastic son, who carried on with his father's passion for this beloved Jaguar. As befitting the flagship of a product range known for being one of the best in the World, the interior of the XJ-S is a very special place to sit. The seating position is low, but the view out is excellent, and there's a wonderful view over the long and sculpted bonnet to enjoy. The dashboard is cleanly arranged and switchgear is very easy to reach, and this serves as a welcome reminder that car designers finally begun to understand the black art of ergonomics in the Seventies.
Underneath the hood is Jaguar's impressive V-12, which is directly descended from the company's racing engine. There simply is no fuller satisfaction, no firmer return to the elegance of yesterday and nothing quite as soul-stirring as a fast run in the big cat. It roots a driver in that Golden Age when styling didn't change every 12 months, and engines were developed more for muscles than finesse. It is front-engined and rear-drive. It is a two-seater and the broad-shouldered power and lusty snarl of Jaguar's V-12 is intoxicating.
Stick the transmission selector in 'D', take your foot off the brake pedal, and press the accelerator to the floor, and you will be pushed into the back of your seat with a real sense of urgency. Maximum speed is an impressive 150+ mph, which back in 1975, put it very firmly in the supercar category. The XJ-S offered unrivaled performance for the money, and even today, it can hold its head high. What marks the XJ-S as truly impressive is not its accelerative thrust, but its effortlessness. The XJ-S surges forward with aplomb, and as the revs rise, a turbine-like roar adds to the fun. To drive one around is an object lesson in how a relatively taut handling car can be given a magic carpet ride. At higher speeds on back roads, it continues to impress, with its low-roll cornering and masterful damping -- body control is simply exemplary. There is no sign of wallow or sloppiness, and it is easy to understand why contemporary testers referred often referred to the XJ-S as 'the best car in the world'. As a GT on sweeping open roads and motorways, the XJ-S was second to none...
The XJ-S was launched on 10 September 1975. The development of the car had begun in the late 1960s as project XJ2. In May 1991 Jaguar announced a facelifted XJ-S, or XJS as it was now to be called. Visually, apart from the re-shaped rear side windows, the facelifted XJS looks little different to the outgoing XJ-S, but most of the changes were underneath the skin. The main aim of the re-jigged car was to make it easier and quicker to build, by using fewer panels and also improving quality. In addition to this, the car's interior was completely revised. It looks better today than it ever did, and the styling, once considered boxy and over the top, now seems to fit in perfectly well. The XJ-S actually looks pretty elegant, and some of the once-controversial styling touches, such as those 'flying buttresses' and elongated headlamps now work very well indeed. The XJS was a member of a very exclusive club, and would become one of the most successful cars to ever wear the Jaguar badge.
