You do have a same car as mine , 1993 Jaguar XJ6
In my case, that culprit turned out to be a cut off brake pad sensors and taped , that's unacceptable , both brakes are good and ABS works fine . Have your brake wear sensors checked out .
BTW, not always I see brake light illuminates , it comes on occassionally
