Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this classic and rare 1990 Jaguar XJS 5.3L V12 convertible roadster with only 50K original miles! Gorgeous combination of original factory 'Glacier White' (Code NDP) color paint with factory chrome wire wheels and beautiful doeskin 'Isis Blue' (Trim Code JEF) leather interior and a matching dark blue power soft top! This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! A real head-turner!

This is the rare 5.3L V12 model with factory options including: electronic fuel injection, electronic ignition system, power 4 anti-lock wheel disc brakes, power rack & pinion steering, leather-bound tilt steering wheel with airbag, power tinted windows, heated glass rear window, power door locks, automatic temperature control, air conditioning, cruise control, leather seats and trim, heated sport seats, power lumbar support, burled walnut facia and trim, deep pile carpet, Halogen foglamps/headlights, heated power mirrors and heated windshield washer.

Obviously always garaged with absolutely no rust and no accidents, owned by only obviously very careful and mature owners/drivers since new - never abused, babied all the way! The original factory 'Glacier White' color paint is in truly excellent condition as is the original 'Isis Blue' color leather seats interior which is also in outstanding condition with virtually no signs of any wear with the door panels, headliner and the carpets also in outstanding condition throughout. The car has been always primarily dealer serviced since new, first at 'Haron Jaguar' of Fresno, California, where it was purchased on 12/30/1989 with its original dealer window sticker showing its original $57,910 retail price ($104,632 according to the CPI inflation calculator in 2014 dollars!)!

Powered by one of the finest, race proven engines built by Jaguar, the smooth 5,344 c.c. V12 engine was a worthy successor to the XK series of Jaguar sports cars dating from the late 1940's and this particular engine is extremely strong and smooth running with excellent oil pressure and which does not burn or leak oil. The temperature always remains cool and the car drives exactly like a V12 Jaguar with such low miles should!

This must be one of the finest examples available anywhere of this classic and increasingly desirable and collectible rare V12 Jaguar roadster, a truly luxurious smooth V12 ride and one of the last beautiful hand built cars from Jaguar's legendary Browns Lane, Coventry, England plant.

You will certainly look long and hard to find a finer example of this immaculate V12 Jaguar roadster convertible with no history of any accidents, rust or 'stories' and all original owners dealer handbooks and tools with only 50K original miles available anywhere else!
