Jaguar XJS

Becoming a Pervert
So you've bought Jaguar XJS, a car designed by skilled engineers living in incestuous relation with Leyland. Manufactured by few skilled workers, part-timers and benefit-takers enforced to work- by Jobcentre. Well done you. Undrilled holes, double-side adhesive tape with peel-off protection layer still on, “bare metal/degrease” inspection stickers on already painted surfaces, upholstery staples swept under the rear sofa, litres of Welsh weather embedded into final assembly as a bonus to £30k bill and production engineers trying to implement poka-yoke system for all above – long before the fancy Japanese term become trendy in UK. This can’t go wrong. This is British Standard (if you purchased new built property recently, you know it already). You could have anything, new leased Audi, John Deere’s tractor or ride-on mower, happy wife. But your choice was so shiny outside, so admirable long time ago, not a car, a Supercar.

Bad News.
Almost every shiny element in your XJS reflects dozens of rotten ones, mostly in unexpected places – transforming the banger into universal water butt for your garden hedges.
More Bad News.
You won’t find reference to V12 version here – this is perfectly covered by the book of Kirby palm who spent half of his life writing it (see "Useful Links" section). This site reflects the experience with one-and-only true collectable XJS: end of pre-lift version 1989 Jaguar XJS, with bulletproof AJ6 3.6 litre engine, without any emission rubbish packed (non-Catalytic). Find one, get one. Joy guaranteed.
