The Appeal
The 'High-Efficiency' V12-powered XJS was a lofty peak for British touring. With its unbashedly original styling, impressive levels of performance and luxurious cabin, it was a hugely aspirational motor from new, and quickly became prized by the public. To this day, Jaguar have struggled to recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle that topped their range for over twenty years.
This particular example looks fabulous in its scarcely-seen Oyster Metallic paintwork, which retains a deep shine and complements a comfortable beige leather interior. It's a fabulous specification for one of these highly desirable convertibles to carry - it practically breathes luxury.
