How could you replace the Superlative E Type and please the buyer safety experts and move into the 1970s.

The XJ S had big shoes to fill and by the mid-1970s although the E Type was looking dated it was still a desirable icon.

So early on at its launch in 1975, the XJ S was not very well received with many disliking its shape especially the rear buttresses and more contemporary looks.

I have personal memories as my dad receiving his new white V12  in 1975 and I can remember it looking great but very poorly built with lots of mechanical defects from day one!

However, over the years Jaguar managed to develop the car to become a much more appealing grand touring machine and the later Facelift model was a much improved and economical version of the original car with superior build quality and reliability

This is a stunning 4-litre example finished in Kingfisher blue with Oatmeal leather interior supplied in the Uk and owned by the last owner for nearly 10 years

She’s in exceptional condition with a great service history having been well maintained as necessary with suspension rebuild 3 years ago,new headlining ,air con conversion to r134 etc

On the road, the 4 litre provides plenty of performance and is much more economical than the V12 models whilst still offering typically high standards of refinement

Supplied fully inspected, serviced with 12 months warranty.
