Auction description:

This 1996 Jaguar XJS Celebration Edition is a final-year convertible showing 37k miles and is finished in black over tan with a black top. The car was sold new in South Carolina and acquired in 2013 by the seller, who has since reportedly kept it at a winter home in Arizona and driven it 14k miles. Power comes from a 4.0-liter straight-six paired with a ZF 4-speed automatic transmission. A transmission service was carried out in February 2019 along with installation of a new power steering hose, filters, fluids, spark plugs, and more. This XJS is offered with a clean Carfax report, service records since 2013, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The Celebration Edition was released for the final two years of XJS production, and this example is finished in black paint with a matching cloth top. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage.

Factory diamond-turned 16″ wheels show areas of oxidization and are wrapped in Yokohama Advan S.4 tires showing 2013 date codes. The top is shown both lowered and raised in photos, and a tan boot is included for use when stowed.

The tan leather interior features lighter-colored piping, walnut trim, and dual front airbags. Features of the Celebration Edition include embossed Jaguar logos on the seats and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The seller notes cracks on the wood trim above the shifter. A Jaguar-branded AM/FM/cassette player is included.

Approximately 37k miles are shown on the mechanical odometer. The cruise control system is inoperable despite replacement of the electronic module with a used unit.

The 4.0-liter AJ16 inline-six received a coil-on-plug ignition system in 1994, and factory output was 237 horsepower when new. The seller had a 60k-mile service including fluid changes and transmission work performed by British Auto Repair of Scottsdale, Arizona, in February 2019. New filters, spark plugs, and other items were also installed as detailed on an included invoice. A new battery was fitted in 2018.

The sale includes records since 2013. The Carfax shows no accidents or other damage during ownership in South Carolina and Arizona. Mileage was reportedly entered incorrectly during the recent service at British Auto Repair, with the seller noting a correct reading on the invoice for the work.

This 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 is a final-year Celebration Edition convertible that was sold on BaT in March 2019 and acquired by the current owner in 2025. Now showing 41k miles, the car has black paint and a power-operated black soft top complemented by tan leather upholstery and matching top boot. Power comes from a 4.0-liter straight-six paired with a ZF 4-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes a limited-slip differential, diamond-turned 16″ alloy wheels, power-adjustable front sport seats, a cassette stereo, a six-disc CD changer, and air conditioning. This XJS is offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the owner with manuals, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The Celebration Edition was released for the final two years of XJS production, and this example is finished in black paint with a matching power-retractable cloth top. The convertible top T-valve was resealed in February 2024. A tan top boot is included in the sale. Paint checking is noted on the trunk lid along with water spots on the bright rear bumper cover trim and a ding in the right door.

Diamond-turned 16″ wheels wear 225/60 Pirelli P4 tires mounted in April 2025. Stopping is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.

The cabin features power-adjustable front seats and two rear bucket seats upholstered in Coffee leather (SDC). Interior amenities include cruise control, a Jaguar-branded AM/FM/cassette player, a six-disc CD changer, air conditioning, and power windows. Celebration Edition cars included embossed Jaguar logos on the seats and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The air conditioning was recharged in September 2025. There are cracks on the wood trim above the shifter.

A 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer are flanked by gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 41k miles, approximately 500 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, which is sent through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. A rebuilt powertrain control module was installed in March 2026 along with a new battery, air filter, and hood lift struts.
