The Appeal

In 1991, Ford took over the reins at Jaguar and dropped the hyphen from XJ-S, as well as introducing a raft of upgrades. By 1992, that included both a convertible and lifting the car's legendary V12 powerplant to 6.0-litre capacity, following in the footsteps of Tom Walkinshaw Racing's aftermarket engine work. This was the largest engine the legendary buttressed tourer ever carried. It was a meaningful hardware upgrade, and thanks to the engine's hemispherical 'Fire Ball' chambers, it wasn't quite the petrol guzzler you might expect from a 12-cylinder. With just 81 right-hand-drive convertibles produced, it is among the most collectable of all XJS variants.

This example, finished in Sapphire Blue metallic over parchment leather, was supplied new by TWR Jaguar Oxford in April 1994. It has had just four registered keepers, with its second custodian keeping the car for 13 years before it passed to Clarkes Jaguar, a highly regarded XJS specialist, who then maintained it for a further fifteen years.

The car was then acquired by the seller's late brother in March 2026 and placed straight back into dry storage, where it has remained since. The seller reports that the car presents in very good order throughout, with all instruments, equipment, and the soft top functioning as intended.
