	The car was re-engineered 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 [[Jaguar AJ6 engine#4.0\|AJ6]], and the V12 was upped to 6 litres in 1993. At the same time the car benefited from a revision to the rear brakes, they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. These changes begin the "face-lift" for the aging XJS. A 2+2 convertible was also introduced, as was a customized ''insignia'' line. In 1994 the car received an updated more aerodynamic bumper fascia front and rear completing the face-lift. 1994 also ~~marks~~ the only ~~year~~ the 5 speed manual transmission xjs was imported to the United States. Exact production figures are unknown, though it is likely there are fewer than 10. 1995, substantial revisions were made to the 4-litre AJ6 engine. The new design was designated the AJ16 to reflect the major differences between it and the original AJ6.		The car was re-engineered in 1991 and renamed '''XJS''', with a convertible waiting one year.

Jaguar did consider a luxury [[Daimler Motor Company\|Daimler]] version, without the flying buttresses, but this vehicle was not put into production.

	Throughout the life of the XJS, British company [http://www.lynxmotors.co.uk/ 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 succeeded 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. Lynx have in the past supplied a new roof section (at a price!) due to poor build on early versions. If buying second-hand, use a magnet to check for plastic filler.
