Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to the highest bidder, January 16th-20th, 2013 at Russo and Steele's 13th Annual Scottsdale Arizona Auction. Please contact us for more information. Presented for auction is a1995 Jaguar XJS. The Jaguar was re-engineered in 1991 and renamed XJS. All XJS's from this time are referred to as "facelift" models. The rear side windows appeared enlarged (although the body glass aperture was actually the same size as the earlier car) and the buttresses stayed, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4-litre version of the AJ6. In 1992 a 4-litre convertible was added to the range. The V12's capacity was enlarged to 6 litres in May 1993. At the same time the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes, they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With the introduction of the 6.0-litre V12, the transmission was also updated to a GM 4L80E with a 4th gear overdrive, while the automatic 4-litre models continued with the electronic ZF4HP24E transmission. A 2 2 convertible was also introduced, as was a customized insignia line. At the same time, the car received more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers. 1992 thru 1994 were the only years the 6-cylinder with 5-speed manual transmission XJS was exported to the United States. Exact production figures are unknown; though it is likely there are fewer than ten. In April 1994 substantial revisions were made to the 4-litre AJ6 engine which became the 4-litre AJ16 with coil on plug ignition being amongst the most noticeable of the changes. In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the Celebration model to celebrate the 60th year of the Jaguar company. Celebration cars are easily identifiable by the diamond turned wheels, Jaguar embossed seats and distinctive wooden steering wheel. These latest cars are the most desirable of all the later XJS's, especially the convertibles. The 6-litre V12 had all but disappeared by this time, and was only available during the last year of production by special order. The car was discontinued in 1996, after 21 years in production. It was replaced by the XK8.
