Newcomers : Jaguar in the open

A true open-air roadster the Jaguar XJ-SC cannot claim to be but it does have the new straight six in its favour

Performance Car, June 1988

Breaking Cover

The Jaguar XJ-S kept an unplanned low profile for several years, until styling changes in the early 1980s gave it a much-needed new lease of life. The 3.6 Cabriolet followed, then the 3.6 Coupe; now Jaguar hope the Convertible will take the brake off XJ-S sales once and for all

Willi's wildcat

Willi Koenig, the Munich-based car converter, surprised everyone a couple of years ago with a subtle revision of the Testarossa. Here, with the the XJ-S Wildcat, he has reverted to type. For DM 48,000 (about £16,000), you get wide wheels and fat tyres, and the body alterations shown here. A two-tone treatment of Cerise above Candy Apple Tangerine might make a suitable colour scheme.
