Vehicle Description
1985 Jaguar XJS Coupe V12 Coupe brought to you by Zoom Classic
Cars. 12 cylinder car in overall good condition. Finished in Tudor
White exterior with re-upholstered Black leather interior in
excellent condition. 113K original miles. This Jaguar received a
service in 2018 that included replacement of the head gaskets with
updated units. The Series 2 XJS benefitted from numerous styling
changes over the outgoing Series 1 model including; new five-spoke
"starfish" alloy wheels, chrome inserts on the upper part of the
bumpers, and burled elm inserts on the dashboard and door caps.The
V12 in this Jaguar features the "May Fireball" combustion chamber
designed by Swiss engineer Michael May. This design relocated the
spark plugs to the side of the combustion chamber and revised the
pistons to have a flat-top design. The result, coupled with revised
gearing, was dramatically improved fuel efficiency, ensuring that
Jaguar could continue to build efficient V12s during the 1980s.
This is the origin of the "HE" badge on the back of the car, which
stood for "High Efficiency." This particular XJS came from the
factory with a 5.3-liter V12, which produces 263 horsepower and 317
lb-ft of torque. Other features include: JVC CD audio system,
Bulldog keyless entry system, The paint is in overall good
