The Appeal
The iconic XJS in convertible form is a stunning example of a great British sports GT car, following on from the success of the E Type, Jaguar continued the format with style, performance and also continuing with the V12 engine which this example has.
The car was originally fitted with an automatic gearbox but the current owner wanted to enhance the driving experience with a manual shift, this was converted by Jaguar specialists last year and makes the car even more enjoyable to drive

The electric operated roof opens and closes smoothly and comes with a matching blue tonneau cover which again is in very good condition. The boot area incorporates a spare wheel which is in good condition and also a tool kit. All door cards are clean and show no signs of wear, the electric seat controls work on both sides faultlessly.

The Exterior

- Metallic Silver
- Pirelli tyres all round
The XJS has the perfect combination of the silver bodywork contrasting with the navy blue convertible hood, set off with the five spoke alloy wheels and wrapped in Pirelli tyres with good tread is a sign that this car has been cared for by the current owner.
The cars condition is in very good order, only signs that we can see of note are on the off side rear quarter above the rear light where a pin dent is visible, and also under the off side front splitter which has a crack in it, only visible from low down.
The convertible is clean and we have seen it working perfectly, wit the matching tonneau cover in good order as well.
The Mechanics
- V12 5.3 litre
- Manual gearbox
Fitted with that sonorous V12 engine the cars been made even more perfect by the installation of a five speed gearbox which was fitted by Jaguar specialists Simply Performance Limited in 2021. The stamped service book and a record of receipts shows the care and attention that the previous owners have had for this car.
The MOT expires in January 2023 and comes with a record of past records as well to back up the mileage and history.

Also with the top down as well that V12 engine will sound even more epic along with the slick five speed gearbox.
