The seller offers for sale this 1989 Jaguar XJS Cabriolet equipped with an automatic transmission and powered by a 5.3-liter 12-cylinder petrol engine. Originally delivered in the United States, the car was imported to Bulgaria in 2008 with 61,000 miles and has since been kept in a heated garage. The current owner is the second since new and confirms that the vehicle has never been in an accident or sustained damage. The paintwork is in good condition, with only minor scratches that can be polished out. The interior is clean, showing minimal signs of use, though the roof lining fabric requires minor maintenance. Mechanically, the car performs well with smooth shifting, no smoke, and no abnormal noises. The engine starts easily, and the car runs without issues. Recently fitted new tires and a new battery ensure it is ready for immediate use.
The Jaguar XJS, produced from 1975 to 1996, represented the height of British grand touring luxury. Powered by the refined V12 engine, it offered smooth, effortless performance and long-distance comfort that few cars could match. The Cabriolet version, introduced in the 1980s, combined elegant styling with open-top motoring, making it a favorite among collectors seeking a blend of sophistication and power. Its timeless proportions, supple suspension, and handcrafted interior embody the spirit of Jaguar’s classic design philosophy. Today, the XJS V12 remains an iconic grand tourer and an appreciating classic for enthusiasts worldwide.
The soft top is in good overall condition, functioning properly, with only minor cosmetic work recommended on the interior fabric.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
