BaT Auction: 1993 Jaguar XJS

This 1993 Jaguar XJS is finished in white over tan leather and powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes power-adjustable seats, air conditioning, an aftermarket stereo, four-wheel disc brakes, and 15″ basketweave wheels. The car was purchased by the seller on BaT in March 2020, and subsequent service involved replacement of the valve cover gasket, air conditioning blower, water pump, distributor cap and rotor, shocks and springs, rear brake pads and rotors, and drive belts. This XJS shows 64k miles and is offered in Arizona with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Glacier White (NDP) and features fog lamps as well as later-model flush headlights and wraparound tail lights. Various paint touch-ups were reportedly performed under previous ownership, and close-up photos of the exterior can be viewed in the gallery below.

Silver-finished 15″ basketweave wheels are mounted with 235/50 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Service in October 2020 included overhauling the steering rack as well as replacement of the front and rear brake pads and rotors, shocks and springs, subframe mounts, and control arm bushings. A brake fluid flush and an alignment were also performed.

The cabin is trimmed in tan doeskin leather with gray carpets, and burl wood trim accents the dash, doors, and center console. Amenities include cruise control and power-adjustable seats with lumbar support and driver’s position memory. The stereo was replaced in October 2020 and retrofitted with a satellite radio tuner, and the air conditioning HVAC module and blower units were replaced in January 2021. The driver seat, driver door pull, and center console were repaired and refinished in June 2021. Damage to the front seat belt buckles is shown in the photo gallery.

A Moto Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel was added by the seller and frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,700-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The six-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 5k miles of which were added by the seller.

The 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six was factory rated at 219 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Service in October 2020 included replacement of the distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs as well as the water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, heater hoses, and drive belts.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The differential pinion seal was replaced in October 2020.

Manufacturer’s literature, two sets of keys, service records, and first and second place Concours trophies are included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Ontario, Quebec, Florida, and Texas.
