Before the XJ became a global luxury icon, there was the Series II.

Introduced in 1973, the Jaguar XJ6 Series II built upon the foundations of the original Series I while adapting the car to changing safety regulations and growing expectations around comfort and refinement. Subtle styling revisions included a raised front bumper, revised grille design, and updated interior controls, all while retaining the unmistakable proportions that made the XJ instantly recognisable.

Underneath, the formula that made the XJ so respected remained untouched. Jaguar’s XK straight six continued to deliver smooth, effortless performance, paired with a ride and handling balance that many rivals still struggled to match during the 1970s.

What often goes overlooked is how significant the Series II became internationally. It helped establish the XJ as a true global luxury saloon, with long-wheelbase variants and improved refinement broadening the car’s appeal across key markets.

For many enthusiasts, the Series II represents the XJ at its most traditional. Elegant, understated, and engineered to cover serious distances in comfort.

Not every garage session involves spanners, parts diagrams, or chasing electrical faults. Sometimes it is just you, a cloth, a bottle of polish, and an hour appreciating the car sitting in front of you.

This Jaguar XJ Series III is getting some well-earned attention from its owner, tucked away in a classic British garage that probably looks familiar to many enthusiasts.

The XJ is one of those cars that rewards slowing down. The details in the chrome, the shape of the rear haunches, the way the light catches the paint. You notice things when you are not in a hurry.
After all, looking after a Jaguar is not always about fixing something. Sometimes it is about enjoying it.

For a car that has been photographed millions of times, the Jaguar E-Type Series 1 still catches people off guard.

People know the shape. They know the posters, the magazine covers, the stories. What often gets overlooked is just how unusual the car felt when it first appeared in 1961. Disc brakes all round, independent rear suspension, and 150 mph performance were not things you expected to find wrapped in something this elegant.

Early cars had their own character too. The Moss gearbox demanded patience, the cabin could get surprisingly warm, and anyone over six feet tall quickly learned that beauty and ergonomics do not always go hand in hand. None of that seems to have hurt its appeal.

The 3.8-litre XK engine gave the earliest Series 1 cars a slightly raw edge that softened as the model evolved. Later 4.2-litre cars brought more torque, an all-synchromesh gearbox, and a slightly more relaxed character, but without losing what made the E-Type special in the first place. There is a mechanical honesty to the early cars. Long bonnet stretching ahead, thin-rimmed steering wheel, and an engine that always feels happier once it has properly warmed through.

What is easy to forget now is that the E-Type was not built as an untouchable classic. Jaguar expected owners to drive them hard, use them regularly, and cover serious miles.

Perhaps that is why the best E-Types still feel like cars first and collector's items second.

We came across this original Jaguar advert for the XJ Series III recently, and one line stood out:

"More Style. More Equipment. More Options. More Jaguar."

It's classic marketing language, but in fairness, Jaguar had a point.

By the time the Series III arrived in 1979, the XJ had already established itself as one of the defining luxury saloons of its era. The updates were subtle rather than dramatic. A revised roofline by Pininfarina, improved visibility, more interior space, and a range that stretched from the dependable 3.4-litre straight-six all the way to the V12.

What is interesting now is how restrained the changes were. Jaguar did not reinvent the XJ. They simply refined a formula they knew worked.

Looking back, that confidence feels quite refreshing.

Do you prefer the earlier Series I and II cars, or is the Series III the XJ at its best?

A classic Jaguar that does not stop properly becomes a car you slowly stop using.

Brakes change the whole character of a car. The confidence you carry into a corner. The way the pedal feels after an hour on the road. Even whether you choose to take the car out at all.

A lot of older Jaguars are still running on tired hydraulics, ageing hoses, or components that technically work, but no longer feel quite right. You notice it gradually. Longer pedal travel. Less confidence in traffic. The car feeling heavier than it should.

At SNG Barratt, our braking range covers everything needed to refresh, rebuild, or uprate your classic Jaguar’s stopping power, from discs and calipers to hoses, cylinders, and fittings.

Because these cars are far better when they are being driven properly, not avoided carefully.

The Jaguar XJ6 C always felt slightly unusual in the XJ range. Lower, longer looking somehow, even though most of the dimensions barely changed from the saloon underneath.

Introduced in the mid-1970s, the XJ-C was Jaguar trying something different. A pillarless coupe based on the Series II XJ, with all four side windows dropping completely away. When they worked properly, which owners will tell you was not always guaranteed, the effect was brilliant. Open, airy, and very unlike most British cars of the period.

It kept the XK straight six, which suited the car better than outright performance ever would have. The XJ-C was never especially sporting for its size, but that was not really the point. It had a calmness to it. Long bonnet ahead of you, thin steering wheel in your hands, and that slightly nose-heavy way old Jaguars settle into faster roads once you stop trying to rush them.

Production only lasted a few years, and rust claimed plenty early on, which is why good cars feel noticeably scarce now compared to standard XJs.

Still one of the more interesting versions of the XJ formula. Not perfect. Probably better for it.

The Jaguar S-Type marked a major turning point for Jaguar at the end of the 1990s.

Introduced in 1999, it brought Jaguar back into the compact executive saloon market for the first time in decades, combining modern engineering with styling cues inspired by the brand’s earlier saloons. The oval grille, quad headlamps, and sweeping lines deliberately referenced the past, but underneath sat an entirely modern platform.

The S-Type introduced a new generation of V6 and V8 engines to the range, delivering smoother performance, improved refinement, and far more responsive handling than many expected from a Jaguar saloon of the period.

This was also one of the first Jaguars developed with a stronger focus on everyday usability. Better weight distribution, advanced electronic systems, and a more driver-focused chassis helped transform how the car behaved on modern roads while still maintaining the comfort and refinement expected of the marque.

What many enthusiasts overlook is how important the S-Type became for Jaguar’s future. It helped bridge the gap between traditional Jaguar values and the more modern direction the company would take in the years that followed.

A retro-inspired design with thoroughly modern intentions underneath.

Today, SNG Barratt continues to support S-Type models with a wide range of parts to help keep these modern Jaguars on the road.
