Engine upgraded to HE-version in 1996
The original engine in this XJ-S V12 from 1977 was replaced in 1989 in connection with restoration (see elsewhere). But in 1996 or, in fact, already in 1995, it’s decided that the engine must be upgraded later HE-version of the same V12 engine. The HE-version has compared to the original PreHE Higher compresion, socalled May combustion chambers allowing more lean mixture, more modern injection and ECU, and all this which mainly results in a better fuel economy (“better”, not “good” …;-)
The ‘new’ HE engine is from a road damaged English 1989 Jaguar XJ12 with 80,000 miles ODO
The new engine number is 7P61313HA and there is a purchase receipt of 18.000 DKK for the parts + 3.800 DKK for dismounting the parts dated 1. december 1995 for engine, gearbox and accesories.
The engine is mounted during the spring/summer 1996 by an authorized Jaguar garage and on the invoice it just says “Engine swapped and miscellaneous parts replaced”.
The old PreHE engine (engine number 7P37088SA) is sold for 10.000 DKK 6. September 1996
