So wrong it's right? BravePill
Some victories are knockouts, and others are won on points. This week's Pill falls into the latter category when it comes to braveness. Lots of the elements of this well-priced Jaguar XJ-S might seem only moderately courageous on their own, but lumped together it is definitely one our our bolder offerings.
The six-cylinder XJ-S felt like a car that arrived well after it should have done. The original XJ-S had been launched with a V12 engine, reaching the market just before the mid-70s fuel crisis arrived to make the GT's low teens mpg look unacceptable. Jaguar quickly developed a revised 'high efficiency' engine, although 'higher' would be closer to the mark - revised cylinder heads and fuel injection moved economy closer to 20mpg, if rarely getting it over the mark.
In this fashion conscious part of the market inelegant struggles to sell, especially as rival manufacturers were still offering fully convertible convertibles. Soon after the XJ-SC was launched an American coachbuilder, Hess & Eisenhardt in Ohio, started to produce its own fully decapitated convertible XJ-S, which looked much better and seems to have encouraged Jaguar to try again.
