The Appeal
The XJ-S Convertible was a long time in the making. Early Targa-topped examples met with a lukewarm reception; customers went to such lengths as to buy aftermarket cabrio conversions from the likes of Hess & Eisenhardt. But it was worth the wait.
This V12 example from 1989 is finished in Jaguar Racing Green and offers enthusiasts the opportunity to experience one of Jaguar's most iconic GT cars in its most desirable body style.

What makes this specific XJ-S worthy of consideration is its documented history with a clean Carfax from its time in the USA (1989-1996), before being imported to Belgium, where it has remained since.
