1987 Jaguar XJS HE Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Without doubt this car is what dreams are made of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, I have only bought this car recently and my first action was to book it in for a full service and MOT with the intention of rectifying any potential problems before they became problems. The MOT verdict was.
Needed New Bonnet Struts.
Handbrake needed adjusting.
New Brake Disks.
Faulty brake light.
Minor welding to sills.
General comments?
A car that turns heads and arouses comment wherever it goes.
Unbelievably comfortable and lively to drive if a little light on steering.
The raw power and dimensions takes a bit of getting used to.
About as sexy as a car can get. Totally erotic to drive
The engine gently growls when first fires up, but settles down to a soothing purr, just like a cat.
Pure decadence on 4 wheels, a case of lust at first sight.
