This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertible was acquired by the current owner in 1995, and it now has 65k miles with registration history in California since it was first sold. Finished in Tungsten with a blue soft top over gray leather, the car is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. It features chrome-finished 15″ cross-spoke wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, and an Alpine CD stereo. This XJ-S V12 convertible is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with service records, a damage-free Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Tungsten and is equipped with fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, and a blue soft top that was reportedly replaced some time ago.

Chrome-finished 15″ cross-spoke wheels are mounted with Michelin Defender tires, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

The cabin is trimmed in gray leather with wood veneer accents, and it is said to have been reupholstered in 2016. Features include heated power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, a trip computer, and an Alpine CD stereo.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 65k miles.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The oil and coolant were changed in August 2025. The vehicle was designated a gross polluter by the state of California in July 2008, and it most recently passed a California emissions test in July 2024.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. In August 2025, the transmission fluid was flushed.
