Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / July 2004Question about Jaguar XJS
I'm trying to find out which years the Jaguar XJS came with a 6 cylinder engine. Also would like to know which years the XJS came with chrome bumpers.

[quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Mega Man > JobCrunchersUnite.com The plastic bumpers came out in May 91 (UK market) so a 6 cylinder with rubber/chrome was made 84-91.

In the States Jaguar only imported about 20 of them around '85 or '86 for evaluation purposes. It wasn;t deemed suitable for the market and they were sold off to Company employees and vendors. These would have had the old style chrome bumpers. In the US, the 4.0L 6 cyl was introduced beginning 1993 MY. In '93 it was fitted to the entire model run (couldn't get the V12 certified in the USA that year.) The V12 returned in '94. >I'm trying to find out which years the Jaguar XJS >came with a 6 cylinder engine. The six came out in October of 83... it was available until the end of the line in '95. (In May of 91 it increased from 3.6 to 4.0 litres. In '93 it was a different model, the AJ16, instead the AJ6... not sure what the differences are there.) The six is a much easier to maintain engine... the V-12 HE (introduced in July 81) is the worst but the pre-HE is tough too. I don't know about the 6.0 litre V-12 (it became an option in about 91). These 6.0 engines are the rarest... well, at this point in time maybe the pre-HEs are rarer... who knows??? >Also would like to know which years the XJS came >with chrome bumpers. Chrome bumpers were introduced in July of 81. Prior to this they were all black with impact absorbing plastic inserts. (This is the best looking XJ-S, no leapers, no growlers, just a beautiful set of clean lines without extra chrome). The moulded bumpers were introduced in May of 93. >Thanks No problem... what else is Usenet for? (well... aside from porno '-) |
