The Jaguar XJS Convertible combined the effortless performance of Jaguar's renowned V12 engine with the appeal of open-top grand touring. Introduced in convertible form in 1988, the model offered a particularly elegant alternative to the traditional sportscar, with its long bonnet, generous proportions and beautifully appointed interior. Powered by the 5.3 litre V12, the XJS remains one of the most distinctive and characterful British grand tourers of its era.
This 1988 example is finished in the attractive combination of Solent Blue with Magnolia leather upholstery and has enjoyed remarkably long-term ownership. The current owners purchased the car in 1990, when it was just two years old and has retained it ever since. The car subsequently spent an extended period in storage, having been off the road since at least 2005, and is now presented in reasonably good overall condition, although there is a dent to the driver's door. More recently, the Jaguar has benefited from recommissioning work undertaken by Classic Engineering in Wales. This included draining the fuel tank, replacing the fuel pump and a leaking fuel pipe, removing and cleaning the fuel rail and injectors, cleaning the spark plugs and fitting a replacement fuel rail. Attention was also given to the electrically operated hood, with electrical connections cleaned, joints lubricated and the mechanism realigned to restore its operation.
An appealing opportunity to acquire a long-term privately owned V12 Convertible, this Jaguar would benefit from further recommissioning and represents an interesting prospect for its next custodian. Consigned by Fraser Smith
