A late model XJS 4-litre, 5-speed factory manual gearbox recommissioned by Ant Anstead and his team for his new TV show.
The driver's choice of XJS is the late model, 4-litre, six-cylinder. They are beautifully balanced cars which reward keen drivers, especially those built with the Getrag 290 5-speed manual gearbox as this example was. Only a very small percentage were built from the factory with a manual gearbox, and this is one in one of the very best colours, so is not to be missed. The styling revisions carried out by the late Geoff Lawson and his team at Browns Lane are perhaps even more attractive in convertible form and really accentuate the elegance of the car.
This, two-owner, example wears its 170,000 miles lightly because from day one it’s been looked after by enthusiasts who have had it serviced on the dot, with no expense spared. In fact, the first keeper owned a racing team, so understood how to look after the car. The second owner was the Dealer Principal of a number of car dealerships and also looked after it carefully. Ant Anstead and his team have recommissioned the car after a period in good dry storage. This has involved work to the fuel system and also the rear brake callipers, which have been professionally refurbished, then refitted with new pads.
Various small electrical gremlins were then traced and rectified, in most cases simply by cleaning the connections. The complex hood and window mechanism now works perfectly. Small paint imperfections were addressed, the hood waterproofed and hide food applied to the 'antelope' leather seats. After the engine bay was cleaned, Ant was able to identify a small oil leak from the cambox, which has been cured by the fitment of a new gasket. The car was then fully serviced so all the fluids are new.
This rare manual XJS convertible, in one of the best colour combinations, is ready to be used as a classic daily car, fine weather trips or for the many shows and events that Jaguar enthusiasts can enjoy. Ant’s feelings on this XJS: 'I’ve always loved Jags and the late XJS cabriolet is the best looking of all the XJS family. The late cars were also made to higher quality standards as Ford had purchased Jaguar and instigated more modern production techniques by then. This car is really unusual having been looked after really well all its life and owned by enthusiasts who valued its trump card, the fact that it’s a rare factory-made manual example with the slick-changing Getrag 5-speed box'.
