The Jaguar XJ-S debuted at the 1976 Frankfurt Motor Show as a V12-powered coupé; six-cylinder and soft-top versions following in the 1980s, the expected ban on open cars having failed to materialise.
One of the most important developments in the evolution of the V12-powered XJ-S was the introduction of the HE (High Efficiency) engine in 1981. Incorporating new 'Fireball' cylinder heads, designed by Swiss engineer Michael May, this more fuel-efficient unit enabled the top-of-the-range XJ-S to meet tighter worldwide emissions legislation. Combined with a higher (2.88:1) final drive ratio, the result was an improvement in fuel consumption of up to 20% at some engine speeds. It is worth noting that that figure applied to the automatic transmission version, which with a top speed of 249km/h was the world's fastest 'slush pumper'.

Finished in white with black leather interior, the XJ-S offered here was delivered new in the UK through Robert Motors in Islington, London N1. In 1990 the car relocated to Ontario, Canada where it remained until 2017. Imported into Belgium that same year, the XJ-S comes with its service book; an old Ontario Certificate of Title; Jaguar attestation confirming the chassis number (dated 2017); and a quantity of old invoices and correspondence.
