Launched back in 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the Jaguar XJS is one of those rare cars that actually got better as it evolved – all too often it is the first model that is the best while the later ones just get lardier and lumpier.

The first major facelift came in 1991 when the Big Cat got larger rear windows, new rear wings, different lights and revised instruments. It also got the superb new 4-litre 24-valve AJ6 engine, a paragon of refinement and reliability that was virtually as quick as the old V12 but with far superior fuel economy (235bhp, 140mph and 26mpg).

Reliability was exemplary and these AJ6 engines have been known to clock up huge mileages without drama. Build quality also improved markedly with a galvanized body shell finally putting paid to that old Jaguar bugbear – rust. Inside, the very English wood-and-leather aesthetic remained, albeit with better thought-out ergonomics and better quality components.

The owner of this gorgeous 4.0-litre 1994 model has lavished over £12,000 on it over the last three years. Treated to a full respray, he added the attractive twin headlamp conversion and extra rear brake light at a cost of £682 alone.

The original Jaguar alloy wheels were refurbished and fitted with new Pirelli P6000 tyres and a full Powerflow stainless steel exhaust system fitted. In 2013, the catalytic converter and Lambda sensor were replaced and it has just had its air conditioning regassed.

The odometer shows that it has covered 81,500 miles, just 2,000 of which have taken place since it was last serviced in June last year. For sale only due to the owner\\\'s advancing years, this fine specimen, complete with its superb leather upholstery piped in red, is being sold with the attractive registration number XJI 9379 and is MOTd until March 2016.

AMENDMENT:  Please note that an HPi check shows that this car was recorded as 'Category D - damaged repairable' in 2000.
