Based on the XJ saloon, the XJ-S (later XJS) was launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the legendary E-Type, though it was a cat of very different character. The excellence of its basic design was ably demonstrated by its total production life of 21 years, and comprised a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. However, the original version could only cheat time for so long, and in 1991 parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury grand tourer at a cost of £50 million. With its sheet metal incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, taillights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut trim facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy 4.0-litre straight-six or soporific 5.3-litre V12 engine. The former developed 223bhp and 283lb ft of torque and could ably power the newcomer to a refined and relaxing top speed of 140mph.

1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible

Lot No.: 402

Registration: TBC

Chassis Number: SAJJNAFD3EJ193628

Engine Number: 9EPCNA194159

Number of cylinders: 12

CC: 3980

Year of Manufacture: 1994

RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive

Estimate (£): 20,000 - 25,000

Offered at £36,000 in 1988, the XJS Convertible was considerably more than merely a Coupé with the roof removed

Finished in Arctic Blue with a cream hide interior and automatic transmission

Only three former keepers and indicating a remarkable 14,700 miles

Competitively estimated XJS' of this quality (particularly convertibles) are developing real 'legs' in the current market

On offer here is a right-hand drive automatic example finished in Arctic Blue with a cream hide interior. The odometer shows 14,700 miles which, looking at the condition of this fantastic example, certainly looks to be correct but cannot be warranted. Only three previous owners have enjoyed this particular example, with the previous owning it for 21 years before it was acquired by our vendor.  Competitively estimated when you consider the condition and indicated mileage, XJS’ of this quality (particularly convertibles) are developing real ‘legs’ in the current market.
