About the XJS 4.0
The Jaguar XJS 4.0 (1991-1996) used the AJ16 straight-six with 249hp. More economical alternative to V12 with similar refinement. Final XJS six-cylinder. Values from £12k.

Transmission: GM400 auto (V12) or Getrag manual (six). ZF on late cars. Electrics: Complex - cruise, A/C, sunroof all problematic. Body: Rust in sills, rear arches, screen surrounds. Convertible mechanism complex. Budget £5-8k (six), £8-12k (V12) annually.
