When introduced the successor to the E-Type in the mid-1970s, not everyone was immediately convinced. The E-Type had left an extraordinary legacy, and replacing such an icon was never going to be easy. Jaguar therefore made a deliberate decision to take a different path. Rather than building something even sharper or even more sporting, the company created a car designed to cover long distances with effortless ease. Comfortable, quiet, and powered by an engine that always had ample performance in reserve. That car became the XJ-S.

Beneath the elegant bodywork, the XJ-S shared much of its engineering with the XJ sedan. This gave the car exactly the character Jaguar had envisioned: refined and relaxed when called upon, yet effortlessly powerful whenever the driver desired. From the very beginning, the V12 was the engine that defined the model. It had already become a cornerstone of Jaguar’s lineup and proved to be the perfect companion for the XJ-S’s grand touring character.

In the early 1980s, the engine was further refined with the introduction of the renowned High Efficiency version. Redesigned cylinder heads improved combustion efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while preserving everything drivers loved about the car. One thing remained unchanged: the XJ-S continued to excel at exactly what it had been designed for—covering great distances without ever becoming tiring.

Its styling also remained unmistakably recognizable throughout its production. The long hood, low roofline, and broad rear end gave the XJ-S a presence all its own. It never sought attention through extravagance or excess. It didn’t have to. This was a Jaguar that preferred to demonstrate its qualities out on the open road.

This particular example perfectly illustrates why enthusiasts are always searching for an original XJ-S. Cars of this caliber are exceptionally rare. To begin with, this Jaguar has had just two owners from new. Even more remarkable is its mileage of only 77,000 kilometers (48,000 miles). And then there is another detail that immediately brings a smile to the face of many collectors: the car still wears its original factory paint. The maintenance history is fully documented, and the overall condition is simply outstanding. The paintwork retains a beautiful, deep finish, while the body panels exhibit excellent fit and alignment.

The interior is equally impressive, featuring beautifully preserved carpeting and a wonderfully fresh presentation. The moment you drive the car, it becomes immediately apparent that this is a Jaguar with exceptionally low mileage. We warmly invite you to experience it for yourself, and we are confident you will understand exactly what we mean.
