The seller offers for sale this 1989 Jaguar XJS cabriolet, fitted with a 5.3-litre V12 petrol engine and automatic transmission. The car was purchased in 2021 from a dealer in the Netherlands and comes with Dutch export papers. It still wears its original white paint, showing no signs of bodywork or restoration, which highlights its authenticity. The interior remains in remarkably good condition for its age, reflecting careful preservation. The engine starts without issues, runs clean with no blue or white smoke, and operates quietly. The gearbox shifts smoothly and without unusual noises. The car has never been involved in an accident and is free of visible rust. A major maintenance service was carried out last year, including new oil, brake fluid, brake discs, calipers, pads, stabilizer bars, and a fresh battery, ensuring it is ready for use.
The soft-top roof is original and in good condition, fitting well and providing proper sealing, which enhances the cabriolet driving experience.
The Jaguar XJS, introduced in 1975, followed the legendary E-Type and offered a more luxurious approach to grand touring. Known for its long, elegant lines and refined performance, the XJS Cabrio combines British craftsmanship with V12 power, making it a sought-after classic. Its smooth automatic transmission and comfortable ride make it a capable cruiser, while its cabriolet design adds an element of open-air motoring. Over the years, the XJS has developed a reputation for style and presence, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate classic British luxury and performance.
