Jaguar XJ Series 3

Automobiles

The Jaguar XJ Series 3 is the third and last generation of the original XJ luxury saloon, introduced in April 1979 and built until 1992. Its exterior was subtly redesigned by Pininfarina, with thicker rubber bumpers, flush door handles, one-piece front door glass and a revised roofline. The 5.3 litre V12 and the 4.2 and 3.4 litre straight-six engines carried over, with Bosch fuel injection on the larger ones. The six-cylinder cars gave way to the XJ40 in 1987, but Jaguar kept the V12 Series 3 in production until 1992. In all 132,952 Series 3 cars were built, 10,500 of them with the V12 engine.
