Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version of Jaguar’s XJ-S featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. With the HE V12 engine installed a top speed of 150mph with 0-60mph in under eight seconds was attainable.
Built in 1988 as a LHD export market car, in red with a beige interior, this XJ-S was shipped to the Middle East and its first owner, the Oman government. After 11 years the car was purchased by the vendor's father, who lived and worked out there for many years. It was he who shipped the car back to the UK and registered it in September 1999. Used by him until 2015, sadly, his custodianship came to an end when he passed away and the car was dry stored until now, displaying a mere c. 21, 000 credible miles from new. Now offered by the late owner's family, this low mileage V12 Convertible will require recommissioning and comes with a history file including a Swansea V5c, a collection of invoices and assorted old MOT paperwork.
