⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Timeless British elegance, effortless V12 power and sublime open-top grand touring.

As Jaguar's quintessential grand tourer, serving as the marque's luxury flagship for over two decades, it effortlessly captured the brand’s celebrated ethos of grace, pace and space. Its distinctive styling features aerodynamic lines alongside an understated, yet imposing presence. Inside, the cabin offers supreme long-distance refinement and supple luxury. Powered by silky six-cylinder or mighty V12 powerplants, the XJS delivered thrilling performance and effortless high-speed cruising, cementing its legacy as a true British motoring icon.

In the 1980s, the XJS underwent a dramatic rebirth that elevated its quality, engineering and overall appeal. The pivotal moment came with the introduction of the High Efficiency V12 engine, which dramatically improved fuel economy, enhanced power and resolved earlier reliability concerns. Shortly after, the arrival of the full factory convertible transformed its styling, replacing the original controversially styled coupe profile with timeless, elegant proportions. This open-top design softened its lines and firmly re-established the XJS as a highly desirable, deeply appreciated classic grand tourer.

Finished in red with a cream leather interior, this well-preserved 1988 V12 convertible comes from 4.5 years with our vendor and has just ~41,783 miles on the clock and comes with a record of regular servicing supported by £9,000 worth of invoices and receipts. Smartly presented, with a stunning paint finish and solid body, it comes with two keys and was last serviced just 300 miles ago. It has an MOT to May 2027 and is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
