The Jaguar XJS 4. 0 Convertible represents the final development of the long-running grand tourer, produced in facelifted form from 1992 to 1996, with the later AJ16 powered cars increasingly regarded as usable modern classics
First registered in October 1994 with three previous keepers including a lady owner of 24 years, it has been in current ownership since 2023, always garaged and not used in winter, with regular servicing from as little as 3, 000 mile intervals
Finished in British Racing Green over Isis Blue and Charcoal leather upholstery and a black hood, featuring colour coded door mirrors, headlamp bezels and grille, and sitting on factory five spoke alloy wheels recently diamond cut and lacquered
Powered by the 4. 0-litre AJ16 straight-six producing 239bhp, coupled to an automatic transmission with Sport mode, and featuring twin overhead camshafts, 24 valves, coil on plug ignition and GEMS management for improved refinement, performance and economy over the earlier AJ6
Factory optional equipment includes a trip computer, headlamp wash, sports fuel filler cap, air conditioning and electric adjustable seats, together with a Kenwood radio CD player, four speaker stereo and electric aerial enhancing everyday usability
Supplied with its books and documents, a fully stamped service history prior to current ownership where, with engineering experience, the current keeper has maintained it himself, along with a substantial history file including MOT certificates and invoices
This, well cared for XJS, offers refined long-distance touring with the option of open top motoring at the touch of a button and represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a late, well maintained example of the model
