A fascinating history
The Jaguar XJS had a turbulent start. Launched in 1975 as the successor to the beloved E-Type, the XJS had big shoes to fill. The design, conceived by Malcolm Sayer and overseen by Sir William Lyons, met with mixed reactions at its launch. With a price tag significantly higher than that of the E-Type and introduced during a global fuel crisis, the XJS was initially not embraced by the public—you can understand why.
Nevertheless, it was the visionary approach of Jaguar’s CEO John Egan in the 1980s that breathed new life into the XJS. Under his leadership, the car had the chance to show its potential. Ultimately, the XJS, like a fine wine, got better with age. By the time production ceased in 1996, the XJS had even surpassed the production run of the E-Type, with more than 40, 000 additional units produced.
