Publisher's Note Introduced in the 1970s, the Jaguar XJS took several years to earn any acclaim. In 1981, the new HE version of the V12 Grand Tourer finally brought it the recognition it deserved, and subsequent six-cylinder models, coupes and cabriolets were manufactured. This history of the XJS begins with a brief history of Jaguar and goes on to examine the genesis of the XJS, reasons for its initial market failures, and the later variants, including the restyled XJS unveiled in 1991. Fully illustrated with color and black-and-white photography, the story also includes competition histories, original list prices and specifications, production figures, and tips on purchase and restoration.
