The XJ-S was launched in September 1975. The development of the car had begun in the late 1960s, with an initial shape set by Malcolm Sayer. Power came from the Jaguar V12 engine either with manual or automatic transmission, but the manual was soon dropped. The specifications of the XJ-S compared well with other performance cars, it was able to accelerate to 60 mph 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143 mph. The first series of XJ-S cars had a Borg-Warner Model 12 transmission, but in 1977 GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 transmissions were fitted. The XJ-S was originally supplied with Dunlop SP Super E205/70VR tyres on 15 × 6K alloy wheels.

The vendor tells us that this car has been in his possession for over three years, and has been kept in storage. The car is in remarkably good original condition, with good paintwork, very good original interior,and good mechanical systems. These cars were usually very susceptible to rust, but this car seems to be virtually rust free in all the usual areas, and the original Kent Alloy wheels are excellent.

The car comes with its original Service Book, which is has 9 Service Stamps in it, plus quite a few old MOTs. These early Pre-HE XJS models are now very difficult to find, particularly in this condition, and the mileage shown is thought to be correct. This a good chance to buy a very nice car reserved very sensibly.
