Seller's description:
Up for sale is this stunning metallic champagne-colored finished Jaguar which has been exceptionally well-maintained. The all-aluminum body is in very good condition and it’s evident that this originally American XJS has led a very comfortable life.

The XJS is equipped with the beloved and sought-after straight-six engine, producing over 241 horsepower and 282 ft/lbs of torque. The four-speed automatic transmission fits perfectly with the powerful and smooth engine, making the Jaguar an incredibly enjoyable and comfortable Grand Tourer.

Step into the interior and smell what a Jaguar of that era smelled like when you picked it up brand new. The upholstery is still in very good condition, with the front seats providing excellent comfort, especially on long drives.

The interior provides a warm and inviting cabin space, combining luxury with comfort.

Behind the wheel, the Jaguar exudes 90’s British prosperity. Simply magnificent!

The beautiful 4.0-liter aluminum engine is a true delight, both in terms of sound and sight. In those years, car engines weren’t automatically covered in plastic covers, so there’s a clear view of the large, webbed aluminum engine block and its massive induction system. It doesn’t lack power either, with 241 horsepower and whopping 382 Nm of torque. On one hand, it’s a comfortable GT, but on the other, it transforms into a true sports car with a press of a button (sport mode), especially on long, winding roads. The straight-six is an incredibly enjoyable and powerful power plant!



The 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 is a blend of performance, style, and comfort that's characteristic of classic British automobiles. Whether you're cruising along scenic routes with the top down or navigating city streets, this Jaguar offers an exhilarating driving experience that's as enjoyable as it is timeless.
