The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS is one of those cars that improved notably over its production run. Post-Ford buyout, quality increased significantly, with galvanised bodywork and better interior materials among. araft of improvements big and small. The highly-specified run-out Celebration models, particularly those powered by the smooth 4.0-litre AJ6 engine are especially well-regarded. Here we have a fine 1996 Convertible, resplendent in the rare hue of Morocco Red. These final-year cars are widely regarded as the most sorted and reliable of the entire XJS run, making them an appealing proposition for those seeking a usable Jaguar GT.
This example arrives with a strong history file from new and has recently received considerable mechanical attention, as outlined in The Detail section below. The vendor rates both the bodywork and interior at 8 out of 10, noting only a few minor marks externally and no rips inside. With an MOT valid until September 2027, this XJS presents well as a grand tourer ready to be driven and enjoyed.image.png734.87 KB
