Jaguar’s XJS is arguably one of the British automaker’s most iconic models from history. Born as a grand tourer, this stately car has been driven by celebrities, and featured on film. The car’s most iconic feature is its flying buttress design at the rear, and one that remained untouched throughout the 19-year production run. Up for grabs here is a fine example of a 1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe that’s done a healthy 191,000 miles, but is said to run and drive beautifully by the seller. There’s been some work done on the car in the previous year, making it as fresh as possible and ready for the new owner to covet and enjoy.

Exterior and Interior

It’s typical to see an XJS bedecked in a lighter shade of color, which makes this black 1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe even more distinctive on the road and brings out the flying buttress design even more prominently. The car has reportedly received a full paint job recently, with tinted taillights, and a new windshield. The headlamps sport clear lenses, and all chrome work appears to be in good nick too. You’ve got a lovely set of multi-spoke alloys that wear new Mastercraft tires to roll on, and the prowling cat hood ornament leaves no-one in any doubt as to the maker of this piece of art. A light interior is best on an XJS, such as the tan color theme sported by this example. The seats have reportedly been re-upholstered, and the headliner is new. Being a later-model XJS, you get plenty of creature comforts, including climate control, cruise control, electrically adjustable driver and front passenger seats, power windows, power mirrors and the seller says that there’s a new sound system in place with CD, USB and AUX compatibility.

Engine

The XJS is renowned for sporting a V12 powerplant. However, Jaguar also produced the car with an in-line six-cylinder engine that was initially 3.6L and enlarged to 4.0L from 1991. This 1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe sports the enlarged 4.0L AJ6 in-line six. The 24-valve DOHC unit produced a very respectable 245hp and 289lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed ZF automatic transmission. This car has also received new brakes and springs.
