Julien's Perspective

Some thoughts on this model

As a product of the prestigious Jaguar marque, the XJS is a celebrated grand tourer known for its elegant aesthetics and powerful performance capabilities. Introduced initially in 1975 as a successor to the iconic Jaguar E-Type, the XJS underwent numerous refinements throughout its production lifespan, culminating in the impressive 6.0-litre V12 convertible of the early 1990s.

By 1993, the XJS had matured into a sophisticated and desirable vehicle, embodying a blend of classic style and modern engineering. The highlight of the 1993 model was its 6.0-litre V12 engine, an upgrade from the earlier 5.3-litre V12s. This powerplant was a technical marvel of its time, boasting an output of approximately 305 BHP and 336 lb-ft of torque.

Paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the V12 provided smooth yet potent acceleration, allowing the car to reach a top speed of around 155 mph and achieve a 0-60 mph time of approximately 6.6 seconds. The engine's refinement and power delivery made it an ideal match for the XJS’s grand touring ethos, offering a blend of grace and performance.

The rather lovely Silver Frost XJS was originally supplied into the Japanese market via official Jaguar Dealer in Kabush and registered by them in September 1993.

Unusually we have a stamped service book and very importantly a 'Jevic Odometer Certificate' (Japanese Export Vehicle Inspection Centre) verifying the mileage when it left Japan in June 2017 at just 40,628KM (25,245 miles).

The accompanying UK Jaguar Heritage Certificate on file confirms all of the car's other factory criteria apart from the interior, which was completely retrimmed in premium burgundy leather with stitching before it journeyed to the UK.

Here comes the juicy bit:

Dispatched by then first UK keeper to Jaguar specialist Clarks for a thorough check & service; invoice on file.

Sold in 2020 to its second keeper who immediately dispatched it to Jaguar supremo, Chris Knowles at KWE Ltd for a thorough evaluation.

Suffice to say, to 'stone was left unturned', as there are invoices on file for a remarkable £78,706 of reconditioning and upgrades.

Evidently all is detailed via an excel spreadsheet showing all works and the impressively long logged hours.

In short, major works consisted of the following KWE upgrades:

KWE V12 Intensive service & cooling System renewal

KWE Complete Suspension, brakes and steering renewal

E10 Compatible engine management system

Custom exhaust with tubular headers

As you would expect the car performs and drives beautifully with the added benefit of a 21st century engine management system which was always its "Achilles" Heel!

I would wager that this is probably the best prepared and engineered XJS on the market today and now available at a modest price compared to its overall cost.

It would be a pleasure to answer any questions you might have. However, to really appreciate this fabulous Jaguar, it needs to be seen “in the flesh”, so do please call me directly on +44(0)1737 844999 to arrange a viewing.
