Seller's description:

As a retired Jaguar Chief Vehicle Engineer I wanted to own all the cars I worked on during my time there including the XJS Convertible which I planned to ship over to my retirement home in Europe.

It is now over 25 years since production of the XJS Convertible ceased and it is now considered a true classic with values steadily increasing.

I searched for a long time to find a low mileage example in excellent condition and finally found this car which I purchased in 2016.

I went through the whole car and replaced anything that wasn't in 100% condition including:

- Front Brake Disc and Pads

- Also bought rear brake pads but they didn't need changing so these are included in the sale for fitment when needed.

- Front Shocks

- Replaced various small trim items which were showing showing signs of wear e.g. Sun Visor mounting clips.

- The four Interior Speakers were upgraded to Rockford Fosgate units.

- The standard Jaguar radio was replaced with a new classic style Radio (Custom Autosound) with AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth

(the old radio is included in the sale).

- Replaced the tunnel 'ski slope' wood with new wood including two chrome cupholders instead of the standard ashtrays (original wood part retained and is included).

- Upgraded the shifter knob.

- Also bought a set of wheel spacers to improve the stance of the car but did not get round to fitting these so they are included also.

- The car originally came with keys only so I recently bought two remote units but have not got these programmed but they are included.

- Bought a Workshop Manual which is included.

After this work and using the car in the US for a year or so I shipped it over to Europe only to find that despite two years of trying

I was unable to get it registered in Europe due to the differing vehicle regulations.....?

I had no choice but to ship it back to the US !

Have been able to use it in the US but as I will only be in the US once a year from now on and I don't want It sitting in a garage for most of the year, regrettably I must now offer it for sale.

Car has a few minor blemishes including a chip on the front of the hood which has been touched up but these do not detract from the overall appearance of the car.
