James Taylor remembers very well the disappointment among his
petrol-head friends when the XJ-S was announced in 1975. It was not
a replacement for the legendary E-type; its colours were
uninspired; and its interior was drab. All credit, then, to those
people at Jaguar who truly believed in the car and, over a period
of nearly 20 years, turned the ugly duckling into a swan. From the
moment the XJ-S HE arrived in 1981, there seemed to be renewed
hope, and from then on, the car went from strength to strength to
become the much-admired grand tourer it always should have been.
The book contains a timeline of the key events in the history of
the XJ-S and an overview of the evolution of the XJ-S from the XJ27
prototype. There are Appendices covering identification/serial
numbers, UK showroom prices through the years and sales in the US
by year.
