Production numbers

I'd be very interested to know the detailed production numbers for the XJS over the last few years, when numbers seemed to trail off somewhat. From what I can glean, it would seem that many variants will actually be quite rare, certainly in terms of modern mass produced cars and especially in terms of what was allocated to the home market. However, the only numbers I've seen printed in books vary between production and sales figures and in any case they are simply not detailed enough.

Therefore, does anybody have, or have access to, detailed annual production breakdown from say 1994 onwards, i.e. split between coupe / convertible / 'celebration' / 4.0 / 6.0 / UK / Export / manual / auto.

We all know some versions are rare, but I think it would be interesting to know just how rare - especially if you have, or are looking for, a particular variant.

Phil / Baz,

As you probably know, the Jag production figures quoted in various publications seem to vary quite considerably. For what it's worth, I believe that these are pretty close to the definitive numbers (although I'm happy to hear otherwise!)

......................6.0 Coupe......6.0 Conv....4.0 Coupe....4.0 Conv

1994.................242................1058............985.............4633
1995...................59...................89............793.............3943
1996....................1.....................2.............120.............1485

The major differences to your figures, Baz, is that there were hardly 6 litres made after 1994. As a matter of interest, where did your figures come from?

Hi Paul,

I got my figures from Brian Long's book Jaguar XJ-S The Full Story of Jaguar's Grand Tourer.

I suppose they only way to know EXACTLY is to do a Bleasie and go through the production info at Browns Lane.

Best regards, Baz
