The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS proved so popular that it was relaunched under Ford’s new ownership in 1991. The hyphen was removed from the boot badge, while several stylistic alterations were introduced to bring the design more up to date. V12 versions gained an additional seven brake horsepower and Jaguar continued to offer a convertible version.
This 1991 V12 Convertible is an early facelifted example in very good condition for its age. Notably, this car comes with its factory book pack, including a well-stamped original service book that provides valuable insight into the car this Jaguar received during its early years.
Convertible weather is finally here, so now’s the time to buy this original and well-kept classic GT.
