Jaguar XJS - the best Jaguar car ever made?

[@johnbenson2919]

I always liked the XJS, they were only about 3 years old when I started working at a BL dealership and to be honest I think they look better today than they did when launched, they have aged very well. Personally, I do prefer the original models, for two reasons, firstly, the original instrument cluster, although not the clearest, just looked cooler. Secondly the V12 engine, again whatever it's pros and cons, I just think it's a cool engine.

I’d be happy with anything badged XJS after driving this. Although this one would be perfect ❤️

I owned a V12 XJS for sixteen years , never let me down , only failure was a high pressure hose to the steering rack which still enabled me to drive to the garage for replacement, we took this car on tour all over Europe , the car was regularly serviced in accordance with the schedules , eventually sold to upgrade to XKR

The XJS has become my all time favourite classic - I drove the convertible V12 version at the British Car Journey last year, which fulfilled an ambition I’d had since being a boy, playing with my Corgi Return of The Saint model!

The XJS really divides option. Personally I love them. Not loved when new, many were left to rot but they are now beginning to be appreciated for the great GT car they always were. Good video Steph. Thanks.

[@raoulportillo6134]

Bought my very own 86 xjs in Febuary 1999 for $13,000 U.S. from a used car dealer just about 6 miles from where I lived. I saw and ad from $1.00 catalogues from 7-11 convenience stores in San Jose, California. mind you, it was a black and white one inch by one inch profile photograph from the catalogue. I was wowed. Tungsten blue with camel interior. Chrome wire wheels and quad headlamps. I hear you brits love the quads. when I arrived at the dealer, the car was at the curb, looking magnificent. I walked in and inquired and the salesman was on the phone and I inquired earlier that afternoon, so he knew who I sorta was, He practically threw the keys to me and said take it for a spin. I had never driven a Jaguar or any British car before so this was a treat and Man what an experience! once I opened the door, that connolly leather smell was sublime! the engine started smoothly and I was smitten. Just drove it a few blocks and I knew I had to buy it. Not because of what car it is, but because I was afraid the next would be owner would not take care of it.(beat the shit out it and leave it to rot) I knew that this wasn't a commuter car but and occasion car. Bought it that day. Driven In rain Only once. She still gives me a smile every time I look at her. and she is very reliable, provided I take care of the small components that make the car run. Never left me stranded and delighted to say I got a few complements on the car when parked or at a stop light. Never will I regret getting her. and she still in my garage! but the wire wheels are a pain to clean by hand. but they do look sparkly when clean. People say the fit and finish is poor but I think the build quality is solid. Interior and exterior. Odometer? It had 53,300 miles when I bought it; (1999) now (2024) 64,700. I would love to have and E-type but this car is a class on its own.

[@annahopp]

Having owned a 1977 V12 pre-HE as a daily driver, I can appreciate the refinement of a six-cylinder facelift XJ-S.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Hi Steph, what a great video. I have to say though, I much prefer the pre face lift model - my Brother in Law had a 1991 V12, 5.2 convertable. What a machine that was, even at 100 mph, when you put your foot down, you could feel the rear end lower as the power kicked in - fabulous. He had it purely as a sunny day car, it never saw rain, so was kept immaculate in his garage. Sadly he's gone, as has the Jaguar, but it was brilliant to drive - a real 'experience'. Thanks Steph, take special care 🙂 X X

Great review of a lovely example. One anorakie detail I'd note about the AJ6 engine, is that it debuted in original 3.6 litre form in the XJS in 1984, 2 years before the XJ40 was launched. Both cars would have received the upgraded 4 litre around the same time, when it replaced production of the earlier 3.6.

My mates dad had a 1978 XJS from new. I had a lift to the train station in it in 1979. It was very brisk, and gave that famous magic carpet ride. I have never been in one since, but always fancied one. However, the build quality was never as good as it should have been... It is a good looking car though.

[@andrewnichols1023]

The early xjs’s had lots of gremlins, but the face life version with a 4 speed gearbox instead of a 3 speed was a fantastic car, it was in production for such a long time, they sorted out most of the issues. I love the wood trim added to the dash cluster in the later cars, it’s 70s styling with a modern twist, it’s such a sorted car in its later years.

[@klwthe3rd]

I learned so much about the XJS in this video that i never knew for years. I am guilty of calling them "flying buttrusses" and will NEVER make that mistake again. I know i'm going to take alot of hate from this comment but for me, the XJS was a much more beautiful car than the car that proceded it. I know everyone loves the E-type but for me, the lines of this car are more attractive as a grand tourer that can cross continents in style, comfort and enjoyment. Just a great video.

[@zaneclone]

I couldn't possibly say if it's the best- but it' my favourite Jag... It's just a classic period... Concorde, hovercrafts, the XJS... everything was cool then :D

[@louisxiiii]

The facelift was a big improvement. I've been looking for one to buy. I found a pre-facelift in the colors I wanted, and gave ti ta drive. The seats were not nearly as adjustable, the turn signal and cruise control stalks were ridiculously flimsy, the bumpers looked funny, and they had a cardboard box under the car to catch lal the fluids dripping out. I will say, the drum gauges were way cooler than the round dials on fake plastic of the facelift cars.

I measured & measured. Turned out to be oxidation on the only gold plated switch in the car - the little contacts that switches on the iluminated make up mirror...

I love Jaguars and the history of Jaguar and have owned a beautiful 1988 XJ12 Sovereign Series 3. Currently, I have a 1987 XJS JaguarSport that’s been sitting in a tin shed for 11 years - mice are happy - one day I will retrieve it, deplete my savings and get it roadworthy. They are beautiful cars to drive, a grand tourer in the purest form. I would like to know though how Lofty England ever fitted in one of why they bothered to put leather in the back where no human could sit. I think the styling is ageing well, not in a modern sense but in a classical way. It’s a real shame that Malcolm Sayer wasn’t able to see the project to the end and that Lyons meddled in the bonnet profile. You can’t escape the fact that the design has the fluidity of aerodynamic stying but there are aspects that detract from that essence such as the bonnet profile and the way the upper door frames don’t blend into the buttresses. If they hadn’t made over 100k of these then people would now be salivating with open wallets for one. So much a better drivers car over the Italian and German cars of the period. Well done to the modest pioneering engineers of Jaguar and to Steph.🎉

[@michaeltutty1540]

Fantastic, Steph. I have a feeling that we're I the owner, rather than selling that beauty I would have been calling "Location, Location, Location" or "Escape To The Country" and moving! With London property prices, a Londoner could sell and move to anywhere within an hour commute, and have two or three times the property as well as keeping the car. I remember when these were new. Loved them right off the bat. My dream would be one of the late 6 cylinder drop heads with the 5 speed manual. Preferably in light blue metallic with the dark blue top and interior.
