Assuming your "just above the 90 degrees on the thermometer" is your car's factory supplied gauge, which is calibrated in Degrees Celsius, and you are in U.S., that temperature reading sounds normal for a typical Jaguar's temperate climate designed cooling system this time of the year.
From my experience from owning one, Jaguar would calibrate their '67 XKE's electric cooling fans' "otter switch" to not kick the fan on until just over 100 deg C!
If you are in the UK, your current temp indicates 71 deg F, which is warm enough to warrant your car's thermostat opening which would look like it is doing its job.
So unless you are getting other symptoms of overheating, or until it starts going over 100 on your gauge, I would not worry about it.
