The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS Convertible by Hess and Eisenhardt represents a special chapter in Jaguar's history. Before Jaguar produced their own factory convertibles, they authorized the respected American coachbuilder Hess and Eisenhardt to create limited numbers of these elegant open-top grand tourers.
This 1988 example is ready and waiting for restoration, and is a particularly noteworthy prospect for it, too, thanks to its originality and documented low mileage of just 67,731 miles, verified through a clean CARFAX report showing consistent registration history. As a matching numbers car that retains its original interior and wheels, it offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an authentic, unmodified example of this uniquely Anglo-American car. Once it's been overhauled, it'll no doubt be a rewarding classic.
