    Jaguar XJS

    Jaguar XJS

    FROM
    $17,600

    It was always going to be tough following in the footsteps of Jaguar’s beautiful E-Type so it’s little wonder the buttressed XJS lives in its shadow.

    Released in Australia by 1975, the Jaguar XJS could be had as a coupe or convertible with a selection of straight-six and V12 engines until production ended in 1996.

    It found motorsport success both in Australia and abroad before being indirectly superseded by the wholly more modern Aston Martin DB7-related XK8 coupe in 1998.

    he line-up currently starts at $17,600 for the XJS Sport and ranges through to $29,590 for the range-topping XJS V12.

    Jaguar XJS FAQs

    Luxury on a budget

    You've obviously done quite a bit of homework, and it seems you have done the most important thing: identify what it is you want from your toy. As your regular cars are prestige cars and not dissimilar to the Jaguar model you are considering, you could consider a sportier car, such as a coupe or a convertible Mercedes or Saab, which would be a little more special, or perhaps even a Jaguar XJS. Any Jaguar is quite a good choice, though the Series III suffered because Jaguar were too cash-strapped to de-bug it properly before it went into production. That and shoddy build quality mean many of them gave their owners heartburn. But there are many around that have been sorted and they make nice cars. There are several Jaguar specialists who can help find a car for you, but remember they are in business to make a profit. Caulfield Jaguar rebuilds Series III XJ6s to your specification. They appear to turn out good work, though their rebuilt cars will cost more than the $14,000 you want to spend. I recommend you contact the Jaguar Car Club and get the advice of people who have owned the models you are interested in buying. Their experience is invaluable and real.
