An exquisite expression of Jaguar’s long-legged grand tourer, this 1988 Jaguar XJS 3.6 is finished in the period-evocative shade of Satin Beige Metallic, complemented by the seldom-seen and wonderfully original Cotswold tweed and leather interior. This combination delivers a quintessentially British charm, blending luxury with individuality.
Power comes from Jaguar’s refined AJ6 3.6-litre straight-six engine, providing a smooth and responsive drive with far greater efficiency and day-to-day usability than the V12 models. The engine bay presents very well, with clean components and tidy detailing reflecting years of careful maintenance.
Inside, the cabin is a real delight. The Cotswold tweed seat centres with leather bolsters are in excellent condition, retaining their shape and character while perfectly offset by the burr walnut veneer dashboard and trims. This interior is increasingly rare and very evocative of the late-1980s Jaguar ethos of understated luxury. Period features such as the factory-fit stereo remain in place, adding to the authenticity.
The bodywork is straight and crisp, finished with a deep lustre, and complemented by lattice alloy wheels and bright chrome detailing. Every angle reflects the timeless proportions of one of Jaguar’s most distinctive GT cars.
An original UK-supplied example, complete with correct XJS 3.6 badging, this car offers an outstanding balance of classic Jaguar style, usability, and collectability.
With demand for XJS models continuing to rise, particularly for well-presented six-cylinder cars, this example represents an excellent opportunity for the discerning enthusiast.
