The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction
1984 Jaguar XJ-S Coupe 5.3
Registration - A948 XWN
Chassis No. - TBC
M.O.T. - TBC
Odometer - 88,832
‘A948 XWN’ cuts quite a dash in its combination of Sage Green metallic paintwork and black-piped cream leather interior trim, not to mention the supremely highly polished alloy wheels on which it rides. The vendor currently regards the V12 engine, automatic transmission, coupe bodywork, paintwork, and upholstery and wood trim to all be in ‘good’ order. The Jaguar currently displays a totally credible though unwarranted total mileage of 88,800, which has been amassed by a total of six keepers. It is now available for sale complete with bonnet leaper and an assortment of receipts for work carried out over the years, numerous old MOT certificates dating from 1995 to 2019, plus a current one valid until May 17 of next year.
Jaguar's XJ-S (later the XJS) was based on the XJ saloon and launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the legendary E-Type, though it was a cat of very different character – the E-type being a race-bred sports car while the XJS was more of a high speed GT machine. It was based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension (double wishbone front, lower wishbone/radius arm rear). At launch, the car was powered by Jaguar’s silky smooth 5,343cc V-12 engine mated to either Borg Warner Model 12 automatic or manual transmission. The latter was soon dropped as an option and in 1979 the Borg Warner unit was superseded by GM’s three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic box. The HE version of the model introduced in 1981 brought an increase in power and reduction in fuel consumption. Though relatively heavy, the XJ-S was no mean performer and would hit 60mph in around 7.8 seconds and top 140mph flat out.
In summary:
- Remained within its previous ownership for 24 years
- Just six owners and 88,832 miles from new
- Rides on a set of notably highly polished alloy wheels
