The Jaguar XJ-S is a luxury grand tourer manufactured from 1975 to 1996.

The styling was by Jaguar's pioneering aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer – one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars. Sayer died just before the XJ-S body styling was frozen for production.

After a difficult start, the Jaguar XJ-S eventually became a true classic in the canon of British grand-tourers¦and this is one of Browns Lane's finest.

ABOUT THIS CAR

• This one ticks all the boxes, as follows:
• NZ New
• Two Owners
• Rare in Manual transmission – in 1983, the new 3.6-litre six-cylinder-engined cars were only available with a five-speed manual transmission (Getrag 265).
• 3.6 ltr Straight 6, so easy to live with. These 3.6-litre AJ6 six-cylinder engines arrived in 1983, before the model received a facelift in 1991.
• Factory unrestored condition – STUNNING CONDITION for age
• Low Mileage
• Airconditioned
• Drives Superbly – feels pretty much like new.
• Complete with operating manuals etc
• Inside, the car is surprisingly cosy, yet still provides enough room for the driver and front passenger to sit comfortably. With an attentive suspension setup, it's no surprise that the XJ-S ride is as smooth as your favourite easy chair too.
• The performance is equally refined. Jabbing on the accelerator off the line has the XJ-S easing gracefully away, with plenty of poise but very little fever – it feels heavy because it is heavy. Once up and rolling however, the hefty engines exhibit a satisfying depth of power. All six cylinders reach 60mph in about 8.5 seconds, going on to reach 140mph.
• As a tool for travelling long distances in comfort, the XJ-S has few peers. Used in the manner to which it is accustomed, an XJ-S offers an excellent balance of conduct, be it pootling around town or cruising on the motorway.
• The XJ-S replaced the legendary E-type in Jaguar's range. As well as being great to drive, it introduced new standards of passenger safety, with impact-absorbing bumpers on special struts, side-impact barriers built into the doors and a fuel tank mounted directly behind the rear seats to protect it from rear damage. 

The XJ-S is now a fixture on the classic scene. Finding a good one can take time and if its a manual you're after, there aren't plenty to choose from. Get a decent one like this one and you'll have an extraordinary machine.

Will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.
