Overview of 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe For Sale by Owner

The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner. Finished in elegant Grosvenor Brown over a Biscuit leather interior, this V12-powered Jaguar remains remarkably preserved and is accompanied by its original documentation, a set of OEM factory wheels, and the original factory dual-beam headlights. Combining low ownership, exceptionally low mileage, and a highly original presentation, this XJS offers collectors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most sophisticated grand touring coupes from the 1980s.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe is finished in Grosvenor Brown, a rich metallic color that highlights the model’s long hood, flowing roofline, and signature flying buttress rear pillars. While the car currently wears attractive aftermarket Dayton wire wheels and European-style single-beam headlights, it also comes with its original factory alloy wheels and factory dual-beam headlight assemblies for those seeking a more original appearance. Additional exterior features include factory fog lights, chrome trim, power mirrors, and the distinctive styling that helped establish the XJS as one of the premier grand touring cars of its era. The result is a sophisticated British coupe that continues to stand apart from its contemporaries more than four decades later. The interior of this 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe showcases Jaguar’s commitment to luxury with supple Biscuit leather seating surfaces complemented by beautiful burl elm fascia and door trim. Occupants are greeted by a driver-focused cockpit featuring classic analog instrumentation, automatic temperature control, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, and a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette player and power antenna. The warm combination of wood veneer and leather creates a timeless atmosphere that embodies traditional British craftsmanship. With its exceptionally well-preserved cabin and one-owner history, this XJS offers a glimpse into the level of luxury that made Jaguar a benchmark among grand touring manufacturers.

Engine

Under the hood sits Jaguar’s legendary 5.3L naturally aspirated V12, featuring high-compression cylinder heads, Lucas Digital Electronic Fuel Injection, and an electronic ignition system. Known for its turbine-smooth power delivery and effortless highway cruising ability, the V12 remains one of the defining characteristics of the XJS experience. Power is routed through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels, delivering the relaxed and refined driving character expected of a luxury grand tourer. Supporting the drivetrain are power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, and Jaguar’s sophisticated suspension design, all engineered to provide stability and comfort at speed. As one of the most recognizable V12-powered British automobiles of its generation, this low-mileage XJS continues to exemplify Jaguar’s pursuit of refinement, performance, and long-distance touring excellence.

The 1955 Woodill Wildfire occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation’s first production fiberglass sports car, predating many of the specialty fiberglass cars that followed. Created by California entrepreneur Blanchard Woodill, the Wildfire combined lightweight construction with sleek styling and was even featured in several Hollywood films during the 1950s. Today, fewer than 25 examples are believed to survive, making the Wildfire one of the rarest American sports cars in existence. Showing just 408 miles, this professionally build example has been transformed with a Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain, a powerful 396ci big block V8, and numerous performance and cosmetic upgrades. A multiple award-winning build, it also includes a professional car show display sign and a fitted car cover for its next caretaker.
