This 1996 Jaguar XJS convertible was first registered in Florida before being acquired by the seller in 2006 and relocated to New Mexico. The car is finished in white over beige leather and is powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a beige convertible top, 16″ wheels, power-adjustable seats, air conditioning, and a cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer. This XJS shows 9k miles and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Mexico title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Spindrift White (NDM) and is equipped with a beige retractable soft top with a heated glass window and a matching top boot. Exterior features include chrome bumper moldings, window trim, side mirrors, and dual-exhaust outlets. Additional photos of the condition of the exterior are provided in the gallery.
Silver-finished 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with 225/60 Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring A/S tires.
The cabin is upholstered in Coffee leather (SDC) with wood veneer trim accenting the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, an AM/FM cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer, and a wooden shift knob.
The wood-trimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,700-rpm redline, and gauges for voltage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller.
The 4.0-liter inline-six was factory rated at 245 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Manufacturer’s literature and a key are included in the sale.

Opening bid $31,875 reserve not met 0 bids buy it now price: $42,500, 6 days left in auction, seller westcoastclassics, car now in Torrance, California, previously Albuquerque, New Mexico, 8k miles.
Previous auction sold for $27,250 on 4/30/22
Seller's description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and extremely rare and increasingly collectible last ever year of production example of this classic and all original 1996 Jaguar XJS 4.0L 6 cylinder 2+2 roadster 'Celebration Edition', this is one of the very final-runs of the 'Celebration Edition' cars, released for the 1996 model year, with only some 8K (yes eight thousand!) original miles! 1 of only 1,485 models built in the last year of production for this iconic series!
In 1995, the final specification changes were made and the car was referred to as the 'Celebration model' to celebrate the 60th year of Jaguar Cars and included diamond-turned wheels, Jaguar-logo embossed seats, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. All Celebration models feature the later AJ16 4.0 engine with improved performance, electric seats, electric mirrors, air conditioning, heated rear window, half wood steering wheel, wood gear selector, embossed seats and stunning diamond turned polished Celebration wheels. These special models could be recognized externally by their chromed side view mirrors and headlight border strip. Other features were the all-over wheel rims, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom separated by leather on the sides and air bag, the wooden selector lever for the automatic transmission, the black hand brake lever with full leather cover, a Jaguar "leaper" embossed into the leather centered in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover. These very last series of the XJS Celebration had been fitted with an aluminum engine block and the XK8-transmission.
Gorgeous and very desirable color combination of original factory 'Spindrift White' (Code NDM) color paint with its original 'Light Tan' color factory canvas power soft top and with a beautiful doeskin 'Coffee' (Code SDC) leather interior and matching tonneau cover. This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! A real head-turner! Obviously always garaged with no history of any accident damage whatsoever with all original factory parts and a clean CARFAX report - never abused, babied all the way!
The original factory and very striking 'Spindrift White' factory color paint is in stunning condition and the original 'Coffee' color leather seats with 'Light' piping are also in outstanding condition with virtually no signs of any wear and there are no flaws in the dashboard or the walnut veneer, the door panels or the carpets. The complimenting 'Light Tan' color soft top is also in exceptional and all original condition. The interior is also completely original with it's 'Jaguar' radio/cassette stereo system with a CD changer in the trunk and all the options and gauges are working as they should including the ice-cold air conditioning!
The car drives exactly like a virtually still new Jaguar with such low miles should - no shakes or rattles - very smooth and powerful - must drive the same as when it left the showroom floor over 23 years ago!
This must be one of the finest and surely lowest mileage examples available anywhere of this classic and increasingly desirable and collectible last year of production for the Jaguar XJS - therefore proving a very collectible investment in probably the last classically beautiful design built by Jaguar in their long and famous history of classic lines - a sure-fire classic car investment for the Jaguar enthusiast or simply 'pride of place' in any astute classic car collector's collection!
You will certainly look long and hard to find a finer example of this obviously always garaged and accident free last year of production classic Jaguar XJS 4.0L convertible 'Celebration Edition' with only one California owner since new and with 28K original miles in this most striking of color combinations available anywhere else.
