Brief History.

Throughout the XJ-S's life, British company Lynx sold a high-quality four-seat full convertible conversion. Lynx also produced approximately 75 hand-built two-door estate/shooting brake/station wagon versions of the XJS marketed under the 'Lynx Eventer'. The Eventer was a very elegant model, which suceeded in the overall design because it removed the 'flying butresses' incorporating them into the estate design. Jaguar were urged to market their own version but never did. Most Eventers are believed to still exist although build quality, especially on the early versions, was at best variable.

The car was reengineered in 1991 and renamed XJS, with a convertible waiting one year. The rear windows were enlarged, though the flying buttresses stayed, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car's character. The car got a new 4-litre version of the AJ6, and the V12 was upped to 6 litres in 1993. A 2+2 convertible was also introduced, as was a customized insignia line. The car came to an end in 1996 with the introduction of the XK8.
