Jaguar XJS 4.0 Celebration
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
Jaguar's E-type was already a true icon in 1975. Very difficult for Jaguar to introduce a suitable successor for it. When Jaguar showed the XJS to the public in 1975, there was also a little disappointment. Something this car absolutely did not deserve. The XJS has beautiful lines and performs excellently in its class as a Grand Tourer.
This XJS is equipped with the most sought-after engine; the 4.0-liter six-cylinder. As a result, the feline spins quietly through city traffic, but growls when given space. No exaggerated roar but restrained potency. In addition to the reliability of these blocks, the power is very linear in build and for a six-cylinder, is relatively economical.
1996 marked the last year of production for the XJS of the Jaguar stable. The Celebration special edition was created to coincide with Jaguar's 60th anniversary. The last (and best) XJS could be recognized by its diamond-cut alloy wheels, seats with Jaguar stitching, a wooden steering wheel and special bumpers.
In 2010, this XJS Celebration was moved to the Netherlands from Florida. Thanks to the drier climate, this Celebration is in absolute top condition. In addition, the entire suspension was replaced at that time, so it steers like a serious feline again. With its 25,381 miles, the car is still in true new condition.
