THIS... is a 1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible, finished in Diamond Blue with a blue soft top and a tan interior.

Factory equipment on this Jaguar includes 15-inch wheels, fog lights, a "Collection Classic" emblem on the trunk lid, a power-operated soft top, leather upholstery, wood interior trim, power-adjustable sport seats, deep-pile carpet, air conditioning, and cruise control. The seller reports no modifications.

Jaguar introduced the XJS for 1976 as a replacement for the celebrated E-Type. It was originally offered only as a V12-powered coupe, but a convertible joined the range for 1987 and a 6-cylinder engine was made available in 1993. The XJS received several visual and mechanical updates over a production run that ended up being much longer than even Jaguar anticipated. Sales ended after the 1996 model year.

Power comes from a 5.3-liter V12, rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission.
