      Description

       

      It must have been a tense moment when the covers came off the Jaguar XJ-S in 1975.

      After all, this was the car that was supposed to replace the iconic E-type. It was no surprise, then, that buyers were left scratching their heads. Why, they questioned, was it so big and clearly set-up as a grand tourer, when the car it replaced was the epitome of the beautiful English sports car? But Jaguar had to move on. It was the mid-1970s, after all. The E-type, despite being much-loved, was hopelessly out of date and out-classed by modern rivals.

      So Jaguar used a shortened version of the then new XJ6 chassis to create its new sports car. Of course, the XJ-S isn't a sports car at all, but it's job was to continue in the spirit of the E-type Series 3. And while the XJ-S might not have been a nimble road racer, it was a brilliant grand tourer. It had light power-assisted steering, high gearing and the XJ-S remained in production for more than 20 years – the longest run of any Jaguar – and went on to become a financial success for the company, with the last car coming off the line in 1996. It sold more than the E-type, too.

      But it was when the roof fully came off the XJ-S in 1988, that the car began to reach its potential 13 years after launch. The XJ-S Convertible was only available with the V12 engine and an automatic gearbox.
