The Jaguar XJS Convertible. which first appeared in 1988. was
considerably more than just a coupé with the roof removed.
The earlier 'T'-top cabriolet paved the way as the first open
Jaguar since the demise of the E-Type in 1975. but this was to be
the first full convertible and a strengthened sub-frame was
employed in order to alleviate scuttle shake. Retaining the
roomy cockpit space of the coupé. the new convertible naturally
boasted all the expected Jaguar refinements as standard. making for
a very fine. open grand touring car. The XJS's superlative 5. 3
litre engine developed some 295bhp in later fuel injected form and. br/>when allied to automatic transmission. gave authoritative 150mph
performance. Today. this model is very much establishing itself as
a most worthy latter day classic; good examples being eagerly
sought by connoisseurs of the marque.

This elegant XJS Convertible. offered in Meteor red with
contrasting Barley leather. has lived a remarkably charmed life
having been being continually garaged since its purchase from
Jaguar where it served briefly as a demonstrator model. As an ex
demonstrator. this XJS benefits from a high specification including
heated leather seats and bolster and. with a wealth of MoT test
certificates. the mileage of just 41. 60 can also be warranted
making this a very attractive example. The woodwork is in fantastic
order. as is the paintwork and chrome. and the electric window and
roof mechanisms show no signs of stickiness. With an MoT test
valid until July 2016. this really is a fine example of this
desirable and iconic grand tourer. which begs to be taken to the
south of France with the roof down to see exactly why Jaguar sold
these cars so successfully.

*Interested parties should note that the current number plate is
to be retained and a new. age-related plate will be issued
instead
