Jaguar Drivers' Club 'Champion of Champions' concours winner 2018, 1988 Jaguar XJ-S 3.6-Litre Coupé
*Current 20 year ownership
*Beautifully presented example
*2018 Concours winner
In October 1983 the XJ-S became the first model to receive Jaguar's new 3.6-litre AJ6 engine. Autocar much appreciated the first all-new Jaguar six since 1948: 'It is the 24-valve engine's flexibility that impresses most. Such is its low-down pulling power that, in town and urban conditions, one rarely needs more than 2,000rpm to keep up with the traffic flow.' In manual transmission form the new 3.6-litre XJ-S was capable of reaching 137mph yet at a steady 56mph delivered 36 miles to the gallon, a massive improvement over the original 12-cylinder version.
An automatic transmission model, this immaculate 3.6-litre XJ-S coupé has belonged to the current vendor since 1998 having had three previous keepers. For the last 20 years it has undergone continuous improvement to concours standard, with costs totalling £40,000. In 2018 this XJ-S won the 'Champion of Champions' concours at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's NEC event, having won three Jaguar Drivers' Club International events since 2009 to qualify for the NEC. Presented in its original Glacier White/Isis Blue body/upholstery colour combination (the beige carpets are non-original), the car comes complete with tool kit, jack, and spare wheel. Accompanying documentation includes the full service book, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, MoT certificates for the period 1994-2018 and bills for 1998-2018, most of the work being carried out by marque specialists, David Lindsay Classics.
