Desirable 4.0-litre inline-six petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission
Fully functional electric roof reported
Recently serviced with engine oil, filters, and spark plugs replaced
All customs duties and import taxes paid; requires a roadworthiness test for registration in Lithuania
The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS is one of the great British grand tourers, and the later 4.0-litre inline-six models are widely considered the pick of the range. In convertible form, the XJS is a particularly elegant machine, and examples in good order are becoming increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This left-hand drive 1994 XJS Convertible was originally supplied to the US market and has since been imported to Lithuania, with all customs duties and import taxes settled. The car has recently been serviced, and the vendor reports that it runs and drives well, with strong power and all electronics functioning properly.
Cosmetically, the car is honest rather than concours: there are some dents on the bodywork, the boot lid paintwork would benefit from attention, and the bonnet latch requires repair. Some minor suspension noises are also noted, likely down to ageing rubber bushings. Taken together, these are straightforward items that make this XJS a solid, running example of a desirable classic to enjoy and improve at one's own pace.ORS04394.jpg1.34 MB
