The Appeal

This 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible is a fine example of British luxury and performance. The XJS series, renowned for its balance of comfort and power, is a true classic - with its angular lines and sharply presented proportions soon lending itself to all manner of modifications and conversions. Of these, arguably the most iconic is the Hess & Eisenhardt drop top conversion.

This specific model, powered by a 5.3L V12 engine, delivers a robust 291 horsepower, making it a pleasure to drive. The distinguishing features of this vehicle are its left-hand drive configuration, low mileage, and clean Carfax report.
