The Jaguar XJS was a luxury grand tourer produced by Jaguar from 1975 to 1996. The XJ-S replaced the E-Type 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 XJ-S was a competent grand tourer, and more aerodynamic than the E-Type. The last XJS was produced on 4 April 1996, by then 115,413 had been produced during a 21-year production life. The car was re-engineered in 1991 and renamed XJS. All XJSs from this time are referred to as "facelift" models. The rear side windows appeared enlarged (although the body glass aperture was actually the same size as the earlier car), and the buttresses stayed, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4 liter version of the AJ6. In 1992 a 4 liter convertible was added to the range. The V12's capacity was enlarged to 6 liter in May 1993 (304 hp). 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 liter V12, the transmission was also updated to a GM 4L80E with a 4th gear overdrive, while the automatic 4 liter models continued with the electronic ZF4HP24E transmission. A 2+2 convertible was also introduced, as was a customized insignia line. At the same time the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers. In April 1994 substantial revisions were made to the 4 liter AJ6 engine which became the 4.0 liter AJ16 with coil on plug ignition being amongst the most noticeable of the changes. This particular 1994 Jaguar XJS 2+2 is finished in the desired black with a black convertible top making it preferred to collectors and enthusiasts. The paint is in great condition, still retaining its brilliant shine. Both front and rear bumpers are in good condition with just minor wear which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The15” Jaguar wheels, wrapped in P235/60R15 tires are in good condition with plenty of life left on the treads. Inside the black leather interior has been maintained beautifully with no major wear on the seats. The dash is in great condition as well as the door panels. The carpet is original and shows very minor wear. This vehicle is highly optioned with A/C, power seats, power windows, power top and cruise control. The power top goes down easily with a flick of the switch. Original Hartz cloth boot is included. There is some minor wear to the cloth top on the bottom left corner of the rear window, but is still fully serviceable. Under the hood boasts the newly re designed 4.0 liter 6 cylinder engine that has traveled only just over 74,700 miles with all mechanical aspects working as they should at this time. The VIN is SAJNX2743RC191593, the Jaguar is being sold on a clean and clear Missouri title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
