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-admirred 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 XJS from the XJ27 prototype. There are Appendices covering identification\/serial numbers, UK showroom prices through the years and sales in the US by year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979247026464,"sku":"NEW1785005839","price":43.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/jaguar-xj-s-the-complete-story-1785005839","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
