XJ-S Models

---

My own car is a 1983 US-spec XJ-S H.E. so understandably this book is likely to be more complete and accurate for similar vintage cars than for the early B-W transmission non-H.E. cars, or the newer 6.0 liter cars with ABS and revised bodywork. This book also cannot be expected to accurately cover the differences of cars sold in countries other than the US.

I have made the decision NOT to cover the six-cylinder AJ6 engine in this book at all. Since it is the same engine that is in the XJ40 it shouldn't be too much trouble to find information on this engine elsewhere. The parts of this book covering non-engine items should still be of some value.

I also make no effort to cover features unique to the XJ12 (the 5.3 liter V-12 engined variant of the XJ6). Owners of such cars would probably be well advised to acquire both this book and Jim Isbell's book on the XJ6 and use the parts of each that apply. There will still be some shortcomings -- neither will properly cover the carburetor setup on the early XJ12 cars for example -- but the owner is still likely to benefit greatly from both books.
