Hello,

That is a difficult question!

It all depends upon how many of the TWR options the original owner specified. The cost of a standard 3.6 XJS coupe in 1986 was £20,395 and if ALL of the TWR Options were added it was an additional £13,000.

The options were, TWR Bodystyling kit, TWR Wheels and Goddyear NCT tyres, TWR suspension kit, TWR Steering wheel, TWR power assisted steering valve, Interior retrim including adjustable lumbar support, TWR brake kit including light alloy calipers and larger discs and finally the chrome body trims could be black or body colour!

Hope this is of some help.

Best regards, barry

Hello Again,

Sorry i ahoud have added the following.

Are you sure you have a genuine TWR car as the standard XJS 3.6 was manual and had leather interior and it was quite easy just to add a body kit to a standard car and make it look like a TWR version!

Best regards, Barry
