The seller offers for sale this 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible, a late-model version of one of Jaguar’s longest-running luxury grand tourers. First delivered in Orlando, Florida in February 1995, the car was imported to the Netherlands and registered in May 2019. It is powered by a 4.0-liter six-cylinder petrol engine and automatic transmission, and shows a verified mileage of 133,365 miles.
This Jaguar benefits from factory options including power steering, working air conditioning (with compressor replaced in 2020), and modern upgrades such as a DAB+ radio with an electric antenna. Brake calipers were replaced in 2023, and rear brakes and suspension bushings were refreshed in 2019. The car passed its most recent Dutch APK (technical inspection), valid through July 2026.
The paintwork was resprayed in 2022 to address sun fading.. Some light cosmetic wear is expected for its age, but no structural issues or accident damage are reported.
The interior presents in good condition. While the seat coverings have been replaced, the wood trim shows wear and could benefit from attention. Gauges, lights, indicators, and switches are functional. The car features a beige soft-top convertible roof, with photos showing a consistent presentation from all angles.
The Jaguar XJS succeeded the iconic E-Type in 1975 and had a production run spanning over two decades. By the time this 1995 model was produced, the XJS had undergone numerous refinements, making it one of the most mature and comfortable luxury convertibles of its era. The 4.0-liter AJ6 inline-six engine offered a reliable and smooth alternative to the V12 that had originally defined the model, while still delivering elegant cruising capabilities.
With a focus on high-speed comfort, the XJS was a true grand tourer. Its long, flowing design and insulated ride quality catered to buyers who valued refinement over raw performance. As newer competitors entered the market in the 1990s, Jaguar refined the XJS to appeal to loyalists and traditional luxury car buyers. Improvements in build quality and component reliability in the later models make examples like this 1995 XJS particularly attractive today.
Over time, the XJS has evolved from being an affordable luxury coupe into a respected classic. Values are steadily climbing, especially for well-kept convertibles with factory options and no rust history. This example offers a solid base for either continued preservation or modest enhancement. It’s suitable for leisurely touring, classic car events, or summer drives with the roof down.
