1994 Jaguar XJS Coupe

For those seeking a British car on a rarer plane, look no further than this stunning black 1994 Jaguar XJS Coupe here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. Built at its Browns Lane factory in Coventry, England, which was leased by Jaguar Cars in 1951 and remained the company’s home until 2005. It was the site of all Jaguar production until 1998. This particular car was manufactured there in September 1993.

Dressed in black, the car’s paint and trim are in very good overall condition, as are the windows, which are clear and crack-free, including the backlight with its electric defroster. This car’s lights are all in very good order, no fading or cracks present. The cars rolls on five-spoke factory aluminum/alloy wheels with gold accents and they are in good condition with minimal blemishes. Continental ContiProContact radials, 225/60R16, at all four corners surround those wheels. The car’s body panels are straight and solid and optional features such as a sunroof and a rear spoiler. Driver assist features include automatic temperature control, cruise control, trip computer, power rack-and-pinion steering with tilt column, power four-wheel disc brakes with Teves anti-lock, power door locks with remote keyless entry, heated power mirrors, power front seats with heat, lumbar and memory functions and theft deterrent system.

Inside, the car’s tan Connolly Leather seats are in very good order, as its matching Wilton wool carpet and headliner. The instrument panel, with its full array of gauges, is in one piece and crack-free. The four-spoke steering wheel, with its airbag, also has a leather and burled walnut rim, matching the instrument panel accents and the gearshift knob, which is in similar condition. The door panels are in similar tidy order, as are the mirrors and center console. Completing the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with CD player.

The engine was stroked to 3.1 inches in 1992 for a displacement of 6.0 L, to make this one of the most powerful Jaguar production engines to date. This used the special high-swirl design “May” cylinder heads and had an unusually high compression ratio (10.5:1 – 12.5:1, depending on market and year). In any given market, power levels remained similar to the previous model but fuel economy was improved by nearly 50 percent. The HE V12 engines had a fuel injection system from Lucas (dubbed Lucas Digital P), which was based on the Bosch D-Jetronic system. A Magneti Marelli ignition system was used until the end of XJS production. The 6.0-litre engine used a new Nippondenso distributorless crank-fired ignition system with coil packs very similar to Ford EDIS-6 units. The last Jaguar V12 engine was produced on April 17, 1997.

The XJS, a luxury grand tourer, was produced from 1976 to 1996. It superseded the E-Type (also known as XK-E) in September 1975 and was based on the XJ saloon. It had been developed as the XK-F, though it was very different in character from its predecessor. Although it never had quite the same sporting image, the XJS was a competent grand tourer and more aerodynamic than the E-Type. The last XJS was produced on April 4, 1996; by then 115,413 had been produced during a 21-year production life.

The car was re-engineered in May 1991 and renamed XJS. The rear side windows appeared enlarged (although the body glass aperture was of identical size as the earlier car) and the buttresses stayed (although their appearance was minimized by the new side window treatment), as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car’s character. The V12’s capacity was enlarged to 6.0 liter in May 1992. At the same time, the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes; they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With the introduction of the 6.0-litre V12, the transmission was also updated to a GM 4L80E with a fourth-gear overdrive. At the same time, the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers.

Documentation includes original driver’s handbook with passport to service guide, sound system instruction with radio code plus radio supplement, security system guide, vehicle care guide, a Jaguar merchandise catalog, dealer directory and road atlas, a CD-ROM of parts and service manual for 1992-1996 XJS 6.0L cars, assorted service and maintenance receipts.

Competition to this Jaguar in 1994 included Aston Martin’s Virage, Acura’s NSX, BMW’s 850 Ci and Lexus’ SC 300.

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 63,150 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
