Discovery
As an avid fan of classic cars I keep my eyes open for sleeping beauties and had been successful in the past.
I now discovered this 6.0 litre XJRs being part of an inheritance and agreed to buy it.
I know some find the XJS quirky and by far not as beautiful as the E Type. The wing on its back is a bit too much 80ies and alloy wheels are trunking lid styled further I know of all the horror stories of the V12. But the car is complete and no rust or mayor damages and a nice basis to restore.
You cannot imagine what thrill it is to find such treasures. This new projekt requires a lot of things to do and hopefully will make that cat roar again and bring it out to the jungle after years of abandonment...

I love the XJS
and this specimen looks great (notwithstanding wing and rims). The engine makes an excellent impression on this layman in particular. Looking forward to any progress reports from you. Cheers Marc
Nice find! I've always liked the XJS styling although I have to admit that V12 scares me...
...If my XJ had been a V12 I probably wouldn't have bought it just due to supposed issues with them. (OK, I'll be honest, I still would have bought it but would have been paranoid it would leave me stranded some day) Of course when they're running well th...
It would be nice
if you could get this Jaguar on the road with not invest much. Cleaning and ready.
If you have the capability to bring her back to life, please do it.
As a young college student I was given the opportunity to drive my first V12. This was it. It was special. My father had a slew of great cars, Porsches, Bentleys, Alfas and Lancias, but never anything with a V12. As a way to make money in collage, I got a...
Thanks for that nice story
Now lets see if this cat really performs that spectacular. It should as it is the even sharper version created by Tom Walkinshaw Racing. Not so many were built as far as I know. I advise how 330 HP and 6.0 litre feel on the road.
The TWR ‘s were special
4 speed auto and extra power. The only thing that would make it more fun would be a driven man conversion (5 speed manual)
Love it.
My father had a new 1977 XJ-S and it was amazing when it was not in the shop. He upgraded to a 1982 model with Bosch electronics, it was much more reliable than the Lucas electronics. Both cars were a blast to ride in and drive.
