The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS Convertible is a distinguished classic - perhaps one of the most iconic cars to ever roll out of Coventry. With its angular design and top-notch tourer characteristics, these smart, nicely-appointed cars continue to garner a new generation of enthusiasts - and for good reason.
This 1993 model stands out with its rare Arctic Blue exterior paired with a Royal Blue hood, a combination that works perfectly with its retro-futurist lines. We also note the American-style twin headlights!
With a full service history up to 2004, and numerous receipts for work carried out since 2016, this car is now ready to become the lucky buyer's versatile, eminently usable classic.
