Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and extremely rare and increasingly collectible example of this last year classic 1996 Jaguar XJS 4.0L 6 cylinder 2+2 roadster with only two California owners since new and with only 15,900 original miles!

Gorgeous and most rare and desirable color combination of original factory 'Sapphire Blue Metallic' (Code JGE) color paint with a beautiful condition matching Blue color factory canvas power soft top and with original beautiful doeskin 'Cream' (Code NDR) leather interior with tan piping and a matching tonneau cover! This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! A real head-turner!

Obviously always garaged with absolutely no history of any accidents or damage whatsoever with all original parts - never abused, babied all the way! The car was always primarily maintained and serviced at only Jaguar dealerships or independent specialists and also boasts a clean Carfax report documenting the miles.

The original factory 'Sapphire Blue Metallic' color paint is in beautiful condition and it is probably the most desirable and striking color that these cars were ever built in. The original 'Cream' color leather seats with contrasting tan piping are also in outstanding condition with virtually no signs of any wear and there are no noticeable imperfections in the dashboard or the walnut veneer, the door panels or the carpets. The matching Dark Blue color soft top is also in exceptional condition. The interior is also completely original with it's 'Jaguar' radio/cassette stereo system and all the options and gauges are working.

The engine is extremely strong and smooth running with excellent oil pressure and which does not burn or leak oil. The temperature always remains cool and the car drives exactly like a virtually still new Jaguar with such low miles should - no shakes or rattles - very smooth and powerful - must drive the same as when it left the showroom floor over 20 years ago!

This must be one of the finest and certainly lowest mileage examples available anywhere of this classic and increasingly desirable and collectible last year for the Jaguar XJS - therefore proving a very collectible investment in probably the last classically beautiful design built by Jaguar in their long and famous history of classic lines - a sure-fire classic car investment for the Jaguar enthusiast or simply 'pride of place' in any astute classic car collector's collection! After 21 years, Jaguar discontinued the XJS in 1996 and replaced it with a new model, the XK8.

You will certainly look long and hard to find a finer example of this obviously always garaged and accident free most desirable last year Jaguar XJS convertible (1 of only 1,485 4.0L Convertibles built in 1996!) with only 16K original miles in this most striking of color combinations available anywhere else.
