Pampered Del Mar - So Cal car, spent the last few years in climate-controlled storage in Oregon, as part of a large classic collection.
The big cat, was just treated to a major service, after storage:
Oil change, coolant flush, thermostats, spark plugs, distributor cap, wires, rebuilt distributor, throttle plates balanced, battery, fuel system flushed, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulators, air filters, belts adjusted, rebuilt brake calipers, brakes flushed/bled, 4 new Falken tires, Burl walnut interior refurbished, fully professionally detailed, ceramic coating used, canvas top cleaned and re-sealed.
She is ready for GT touring, as far as you'd wish. A generous trunk, for golf bags and luggage.
This 1988 Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertible is one of less than 2,000 specially modified Hess & Eisenhardt conversions. Convertibles had been attacked as unsafe for years (remember how the '76 Cadillac Eldorado was to be America's last convertible?), and threatened with extinction. Jaguar succumbed to fear and played it safe, designing the XJ-S as a coupe only. But the ban was a bluff, and Jaguar needed convertibles, fast!
Top up, it's challenging to distinguish the H&E convertible from the convertible Jaguar produced later. Top down, however, the H&E convertible is sleeker because the unpadded top folds completely into the body, leaving a long, smooth line. It's arguably one of the best looking Jags out there.
