If what you really want from a convertible grand tourer is copious quantities of power, luxurious appointments and the ability to waft along opulently for hours on end, then the V12 XJS convertible is the car for you.
Imported from the US, this example seems to have lived a gentle and care-free life, presenting in excellent overall condition and benefitting from a genuinely desirable specification. With that polished V12 and the ability to drop the hood at the merest hint of sunshine, it’s the perfect vehicle to waft about in this summer.
Cream leather upholstery shows in very good order, with some light wear and a little patination, particularly to the seats – but we saw no tears or significant wear
Inlaid burr walnut trim is very smart, with no wrapping or cracking we could see, just a little wear beginning to show around the gear selector
Beige carpets and floor mats appear to be in fine fettle, with very slight wear in places, but nothing of concern
Electrically operated, heated seats
Electric windows and door mirrors
Air conditioning
Generous rear luggage shelf, with chromed rail for straps
Factory Jaguar radio/cassette system
All of the driving controls and switchgear look to be in very nice condition, lightly breathed on with a little patina and wear commensurate with the car’s age and mileage
The vendor reports no faults or issues with any of the car’s features and instruments
If the idea of effortlessly gliding from one place to another – in absolute comfort and accompanied by the choral delights of a large capacity V12 – sounds like a fine thing, then you should definitely consider this XJS.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
