This 1989 Jaguar XJS convertible is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and shows 51k miles. Sold new by Riverdale Motors in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the car was purchased in 1999 by its second owner, from whom it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. A repaint was reportedly performed several years ago, and a general inspection was carried out by the selling dealer in preparation for the sale. This XJS is offered with a window sticker, accident-free Carfax report, and clean Pennsylvania title.

The body is finished in Jet Black, and is reported by the seller to have been repainted under previous ownership. Stock US-market chrome and rubber bumpers are retained along with pre-facelift quad headlamps, under-bumper fog lamps, and separate tail lights.

Factory 15" basketweave wheels are fitted with an older set of Goodyear tires up front and Pirellis at the rear. The soft top is said to remain operable with signs of wear noted by the seller.

The interior is trimmed in Barley leather with wood accents and matching console and door panels. Instrumentation, controls, and cabin materials. The air conditioning system is reported by the seller to work well. The 6-digit odometer reads just under 51k miles.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 263 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque for the US market and is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The seller performed a general checkover in preparation for the sale, while previous maintenance records are unavailable.

The window sticker shows an MSRP of $57,500 as well as detailing factory options and specifications. The Carfax report lists ownership in Massachusetts from new and indicates no history of accidents or other damage.
