THE APPEAL

The Jaguar XJS "Hess & Eisenhardt" Convertible is a special edition of the iconic XJS, converted by the renowned coachbuilder Hess & Eisenhardt. Taking one of Jaguar's all-time greatest cars, the Ohio-based coachbuilders redesigned the soft top's enclosure, allowing it to fold up into an elegant, clean profile - to facilitate such a change, they even split the fuel tank. The result was arguably the cleanest, sleekest XJS on the market.

This 1988 model is powered by a matching numbers 5.3L V12 engine, delivering a smooth and powerful driving experience. With a confirmed low mileage of 64,345 miles by CARFAX, this left-hand drive model is a striking example of Anglo-American luxury motoring. Finished in JFJ Solent Blue Metallic, it comes with US title and EU import documentation, ready for its next journey.
