Great Jaguar XJ-S publicity photo

Probably from 1984 when there were three models to choose from in the UK. The inline-six AJ6 3.6 litre engine was introduced in the XJ-S in advance of the new 1986 XJ6 saloon (XJ40). The XJ-S V12 continued alongside.

them so here you go:

 It has been a while. This one got send to me via Whatsapp, actually quite a good reportage and only posted online yesterday. Enjoy:

Car SOS - Jaguar XJS V12

This episode was broadcasted yesterday evening in the Netherlands. Unfortunately not too much details were shown on the engine rebuild nor the other bits. As well they simply put a completely new overhauled rear suspension on it. Nevertheless a great job. Coulnd't find an online version of it. So you will have to suffice with this facebook posting:

Crap weather, but I still need coffee... making the most of that 10 minute dry spell to get a quick snap.

The quest for coffee continues... a quick drive out to the edge of Kent in the XJS...

The Cheapest Manual V12 You Can Buy? 1990 Jaguar XJS HE Review by Jay Emm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NaQxnuEMAU

In today's video I am looking at a Jaguar XJS HE. Powered by the famous 5.3L V12 Jaguar engine, this car also has been converted to a manual gearbox by its owner. How does doing that change the character of the car - and is it better for it?

April 1996 - the final Jaguar XJS. (Browns Lane, Coventry).

With 115,000 built over 21 years, the XJ-S (almost dropped by BL in 1980) became quite a success for Jaguar ....

This very car (V12 6.0 Litre Coupé registration P60 XJS) now belongs to Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. Link to photo: https://www.jaguarheritage.com/.../1996-jaguar-xjs-6-0.../

FLAMBOYANT XJ-S FUEL RAIL

 Something high on my to do list:

https://foreverjaguar.com/f/fuel-rail-fruition

I was already intending to do this last winter. But last year I could not order the wanted kit due to Covid. And now with Brexit coming into play the overhaul kit has likely become a bit more expensive. But since I'm focused on other things I have been not doing much on my XJS over the past months. Till then you have to suffice with other material I find on the internet. But this one is a nice technical tutorial - and the other material on his blog is very worth wile too.

Yeehaw! - Just the good ol' boys
