We'd hesitate to call these cars affordable these days, as that depends on your budget, not to mention your desire to own a 1990s Jaguar.
The cars have appreciated, perhaps due to younger collectors' interest in 1990s sheet metal.
The point is, while these cars aren't as cheap as their regular-production counterparts, they're still attractively priced for such a low-production, V-12-powered British grand tourer.
While the XJR-S looks like a standard Jaguar XJS, many components were unique.
The service manual lists nearly 175 special parts, including the oil pan, front apron, differential cover, and exhaust system.
The car was a product of JaguarSport, a collaboration between Coventry and Tom Walkinshaw Racing to build high-performance Jaguar street cars.
In 1984, TWR's touch was available on home-bound examples of the XJ-S and, in 1985, on the XJ6 Series III and the then-new XJ40 XJ6 and Sovereign.
TWR had already achieved some success selling the TWR V-12 coupe, and in 1988, TWR was involved with the JaguarSport XJR-S 5.
3 and XJR-S 5.
3 Le Mans Celebration coupes, which both hinted at the suspension, body, and interior mods of the upcoming XJR-S but didn't include the engine or gearbox modifications.
The XJR-S's V-12 was the first 6.
0-liter version of this engine, which was based on the 5.
3-liter V-12 in home-market Jaguars.
Each car left the factory as a hand-built unit from JaguarSport's manufacturing facility at Bloxham.
Compression was bumped to 11.
0:
1, and the engine was modified with a forged-steel crankshaft with a 78.
5-mm stroke (up from 70.
0 mm in the 5.
3-liter) and forged alloy pistons with larger combustion recessed area.
The Zytec engine-management system was unique to the XJR-S.
For its day, it was a robust, microprocessor-based package that exerted control over fuel delivery, evaporative emissions purging, sequential fuel injection, exhaust emissions, ignition timing, and air injection.
The system provided fuel cutoff on over-rev, as well as a limp-home mode under a dozen different circumstances.
A modified intake and a low-loss true dual exhaust were also part of the car's advanced spec.
Behind the engine, XJR-S models featured a GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 three-speed automatic transmission with a recalibrated valve body and a rear accumulator spring designed to take full advantage of the XJR-S's power and torque increase.
The suspension also received a full working over at TWR.
Coil spring rates increased and Bilstein shocks front and rear were specially tuned for the XJR-S.
Externally, the cars were modified with an aggressive body kit.
A host of modifications inside included a Connolly Autolux leather interior with contrasting stitching and walnut sapwood details.
For 1993, the XJR-S represented the only V-12-powered Jaguar available for sale in the U.
S.
, and when it debuted, it was widely hailed by the media.
Rather than the tepid reaction to the XJ-S, which Road & Track called a car better configured for hand-holding than road-holding.
The magazine trumpeted:
The XJR-S is an exciting, charismatic, great-handling luxury supercar, the sort we've thought Jaguar should have been making all along.
While it's not the second coming of the E-type, it is a giant step in the right direction, and the sort of car we think Sir William would heartily endorse.
Even in such limited numbers, it did point the way for future Jaguars.
By 1995, Jaguar would assume the 6.
0-liter V-12 mantle in the XJS, representing the very end of the V-12 line.
And a year after that-a blink of an eye in terms of automotive development, especially in the 1990s-Jaguar would debut the XK8 and essentially press the reset button, with a car that was modern and viewed by some as the second coming of the E-type.
Since the Ford takeover, Jaguar quality (even in the V-12s) rose by leaps and bounds, but a black cloud of suspicion still hangs over cars of that era.
The XJR-S is not an E-type or an XK8.
It exists in something of an automotive netherworld that is fertile ground for those looking for an unusual collector car from the 1990s.
There's no denying that the XJS itself was a truly beautiful cat.
The TWR touch adds the claws it so richly deserved.
If you're one of the lucky few in the market for one of these long-legged grand tourers, here are two terrific examples that are well-documented and well-cared for.
