Big range, high esteem, minuscule money 💪
This week's under-£1,500 titbit, a Jaguar S-Type 2.7 XS, has got Shed thinking about the good old days and how car styling mods can affect perceptions. Shed's first styling efforts involved fitting two strips of chequered flag tape to the sides of his 1961 Austin Mini. He later moved on to brushed-on matt black paint for the roof and a set of aftermarket Extendaswitches.
Positioned between the S and Sport models the XS was first released in early 2006 in a desperate attempt to tempt exec car buyers away from BMW showrooms.
All right, wipe the porridge off your screen. There's a reason why these 2.7s haven't appeared in SOTW up to now, and it's not just because they've all failed their MOTs either . Their 0-62 time of 8.1sec might not sound earth-shattering but 321lb ft at 1,900rpm was more than the contemporary 4.2 V8 Jaguar was putting out. The 2.7 was a smooth, fast, quiet, and highly effective touring tool with excellent mid-range squirt.
