Ebay 1989 Jaguar XJS MANUAL BOOK CLEANING CASSETTE DRIVING EXPERIENCE CASSETTE OEM

 Never seen this map before. I have seen the tape and cleaning tape separate available but never complete in such map holder together with the other documents. Looks genuine but not sure though. Adding it here just for the records.

Zwischengas - 50 jahre Jaguar XJ-S

 Zu viel Plastik, zu Barock, zu soft, zu wenig Sportlichkeit, zu eng, zu viel Verbrauch, zu kompliziert, zu weit von den aktuellen Bedürfnissen des Marktes, zu teuer in der Produktion. Statt Begeisterung hatte der Jaguar XJ-S es reichlich schwer bei seiner Präsentation am 10. September 1975 anlässlich seiner offiziellen Weltpremiere an der IAA in Frankfurt. Als er 1996 eingestellt wurde, war er der längstgebaute Jaguar und erfolgreichste Zweitürer der Firmengeschichte. Mehr dazu in den Kommentaren.

Simon Cowell - Jaguar XJS convertible - West London 2018

I worked as a technician at the company that restored that car for him, remember it very well. The car was totally stripped to a bare shell then fully restored but also had lots of updates and personal specifications, ie the twin headlamps. Oh yes it wasn't black to start with either
