===Police demonstrator=== [[File:Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 Police (1983).jpg|thumb|left|The Jaguar XJS Police Special demonstrator at the [[British Motor Museum]], restored in the livery of the [[Metropolitan Police]]]] In 1984, a Jaguar XJS with a 3.6l engine and manual transmission was converted by Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations into a Police Special demonstrator vehicle, fitted with a police lightbar on the roof, a police radio in the centre console and plastic interior trim including cloth seats to replace luxury furnishings. The Police Special XJS demonstrator was loaned by Jaguar to a number of police forces across the United Kingdom, including the [[Warwickshire Constabulary]], [[Greater Manchester Police]] and the [[Metropolitan Police]], however no orders resulted from the trials due to a lack of interior space for [[traffic police]] equipment or for passengers. After retirement from demonstration services, the XJS was first donated to the Greater Manchester Police Museum before later being handed to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, with whom it would become an exhibit vehicle at the [[British Motor Museum]] in [[Gaydon]], [[Warwickshire]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Walton |first=Paul |date=21 January 2023 |title=1983 Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 Litre CoupΓ© Police |url=https://drives.today/articles/1285/retro/1983-jaguar-xj-s-3-6-litre-coup-police.html |magazine=Drives Today |access-date=18 October 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Anstead |first=Ant |author-link=Ant Anstead |title=Cops and Robbers: The Story of the British Police Car |date=2018 |publisher=HarperCollins |location=London |isbn=978-0-00-824451-4 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eDTuAQAACAAJ |pages=311β313 |access-date=18 October 2023}}</ref>
