Man, I’m wish this question was about the XJ12 Vanden Plas. The factory stereo demo tape has two “songs” that really match the car. The first is the opener, Carmina Burana. The closer is way more obscure... “Pageant” by Richard Harvey.
This is going to sound crazy, but the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian is also Jaguar driving music.

In that MV. Joe Bonsall looks like Tom Jones
While Lee Golden looks a lot like Dusty Hill, in fact for just one little minute I thought that it was him!

Thanks for introducing me to "Pageant." It's really nice.
Some of the Conan soundtrack, definitely. "Anvil of Crom"? Seems a bit bombastic for the XJS, which is an elegant cruiser. Yes, it has a powerful V12, but it's a very civilised, smooth V12. Or should be.... "Theology and Civilisation" is nice smooth high-speed driving music.
There's a recent thread here which discusses similar themes.

My selection probably remains unchanged: Ave Maria for Lady Mary.
Though the finale from Stravinsky's "Firebird" is very cool:
Here's the song for when you're thinking about buying an XJS:

Come to think of it, I think Zadok the Priest might be more appropriate than The Firebird. It is British, after all. The first, soft section would be the perfect music to a video of the V12 working, perhaps in cutaway so you could see all the parts moving in perfect harmony or something. Then you start driving through the mountains when the song bursts out.
I also rather like Coronation Music from "Victoria" - I actually used it as the soundtrack to a video of my car. This isn't that video, just the music.
