The Jaguar XJ Series 3 was built from 1979 to 1992.
The XJS, the most traded version: The XJS emerged from the E-TYPE's impossible shadow to become a distinctive grand tourer in its own right. These late-production examples benefit from years of development that addressed early reliability issues while refining the driving experience. The smooth V12 engine, available in both naturally aspirated and later supercharged forms, provided effortless performance befitting a proper GT. Malcolm Sayer's controversial angular design has aged remarkably well, now recognized as a bold departure from Jaguar's traditional curves. The XJS's 21-year production run makes it one of Jaguar's most successful models, yet pristine examples are increasingly rare. Collectors particularly prize convertible models, V12 variants, and special editions like the Celebration model. The XJS represents the last of Jaguar's traditional grand tourers, making well-maintained examples increasingly desirable among enthusiasts seeking analog driving experiences.
