Jaguar has always produced cars with unique styling that is very popular among not only enthusiasts but onlookers as well. The XJS model was designed to compete with the luxury car market. This grand tourer model was built from 1975 to 1996 with a total production of 115,413 cars built. Manufactured by Jaguar Cars, it was built to replace the E-type and at first, its launch was controversial. Since its introduction in 1975, the XJS matured into a very highly desirable classic car. The XJS is the longest running production of Jaguar Cars, and it was produced for a bit over 20 years. Today the Jaguar XJS remains a very highly sought-after collector car with lots of curb appeal.
This 1991 Jaguar XJS convertible is just 1 of 1689 produced. The production date predates the Ford buyout of Jaguar, and, the car came out of the Browns Lane plant. The original miles are only 46,685 but since the professional restoration only 500 miles have been driven. In fact, the original paint is so good that repaint was not necessary and the paint was enameled. The body is straight and solid with no rust ever as this car has always been garaged. The black convertible top is in new condition.
The original Ivory leather bucket seat console interior is still in new condition and did not need replacing. The wood grain dash is impressive as it still retains its shine and has no peeling or fading. The seats and carpet still look new.
The engine is the powerful 5.3 Liter V12 and is paired with the automatic transmission. The engine runs strong and is reliable. During recent work, both the engine and transmission were carefully gone through and anything that needed replacing was done. It did not need a rebuild as miles were low. Parts were ordered from England.
