Finished in Atlantic Blue over Magnolia leather
Described as a very well-running example by the vendor
Offered for sale with current MOT and current V5C
Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version of Jaguar’s XJS featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood.
Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard.
With the HE V12 engine installed a top speed of 150mph with 0-60mph in under eight seconds was attainable.
Arguably better looking than the Coupe that spawned it, the Jaguar XJS Convertible proved a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
A highly capable grand tourer, it still impresses today as a stylish and luxurious mile muncher.
