The Jaguar XJ-S is one of the finest GT cars of its time, offered initially with smooth V12 power and an automatic gearbox.

Later, after the introduction of the H.E (High Efficiency) V12 engine, Jaguar decided to introduce an even more economical model, with a 3.6 litre, six-cylinder engine.

This new engine could be combined with either a manual or automatic gearbox, and was also offered with new SportsPack suspension, as Jaguar believed this new model would appeal to drivers looking for a sportier car.

If you ve driven both an automatic and a manual XJ-S, then you may well be aware of just how much that manual gearbox can change the character of the car, allowing the engine to rev more freely and fully, and helping to get the most out of the chassis and sportier suspension.

The 3.6 litre XJ-S we are offering here is one of those manual cars, and is also suitably rare.

This car began its life living in Surrey, sold new in April 1989 by Swai...
