This 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 Celebration Edition convertible shows 54k miles and is powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Sapphire over Cream leather, the car is equipped with a limited-slip differential, a power-retractable blue soft top, 16″ alloy wheels, heated power-adjustable front sport seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Acquired by the seller in 2018, this XJS convertible is now offered with the owner’s manuals, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a Texas title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Sapphire, and the front bumper has been repainted. Exterior features include a power-retractable blue soft top as well as a Jaguar growler hood emblem, a convertible top boot, dual exhaust outlets, and a telescoping antenna.

The 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with a mix of Kelly and Epic Tour tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The front shocks were replaced circa 2019.

The cabin features heated power-adjustable front sport seats and two rear bucket seats upholstered in Cream leather. Interior amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.

The leather- and wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 250 miles of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.0-liter inline-six was factory rated at 237 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. The battery was replaced in December 2025, and an oil change was performed at that time.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
