XJS

Jaguar built cars that looked and felt like they cost twice the money, from the XK120 and the E-Type to the Mk2 and the XJ6, and won Le Mans along the way. A guide to the classic Jaguars worth knowing, what each one is like to own and run now, and where it sits in the marque's story.

The XJS was never meant to be an E-Type, and the long, controversial grand tourer divided opinion at launch before time turned it into a sought-after classic. The V12 and the six, the cabriolet and the convertible, the TWR racing cars, and what to look for when buying one now.
