Description This 1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is a well‑preserved, rust‑free Northwest example finished in Champagne over Tan leather. The car has been garage‑kept, driven sparingly, and maintained with over $5,500 in documented recent service performed by Kings Cross Automotive, a respected Jaguar specialist. It presents as a clean, honest, mechanically sorted XJS suitable for an enthusiast seeking a strong driver‑quality V12 convertible.

Exterior

The Champagne paint presents well with consistent shine and no rust issues. Body panels are straight, and the car retains clean chrome, glass, and trim. The convertible top is in excellent condition with a clear rear window and smooth operation. Undercarriage is clean and solid, consistent with long‑term Northwest garage storage.

Interior

The Tan leather interior shows light wear consistent with age but no tears or seam splits. Wood trim is intact and presents well. Carpets, door panels, and dash are clean. All gauges are clear, and switchgear is functional. The cabin retains the classic Jaguar grand‑touring feel with a well‑kept, original appearance.

Mechanical

The 5.3L V12 starts easily, idles smoothly, and delivers strong, refined power. Recent mechanical work includes a new Auxiliary Air Valve (AAV), a major reliability item on the V12. Brakes, ignition components, and fluids have been refreshed within the last several years. The car drives smoothly and benefits from consistent professional maintenance.

Seller Notes

This XJS has been preserved, not neglected. It is not a project car — it is a clean, rust‑free, well‑maintained V12 convertible with documented service and strong mechanical presentation. Ideal for a collector or enthusiast seeking a classic Jaguar grand‑tourer with the right colors and the right history.
