Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

First registered on the 3rd July 1991, 'H946 PTW' was purchased by its first and only owner specified in the stunning colour scheme of Signal Red over a Magnolia Leather interior with a Black mohair hood from TWR Jaguar of Coventry for the princely sum of £33,500. The car has been cherished by the vendor and has been used sparingly for holidays and dry days only throughout its life. The original Jaguar book pack on file includes the original handbooks, purchase invoice, business cards for TWR Jaguar representatives and the all important service stamp book which has been kept fully up to date. Having had its first four services with Jaguar main dealers (the most recent being the 21st May 2001 at 15,175 miles) the car has been serviced by the vendor's own mechanics since as he owns a commercial vehicle firm and has been stamped as such. There are seven more stamps from the owner's firm up to 18th May 2019 at 21,830 miles. Now displaying on 22,275 miles that the vendor warrants, 'H946 PTW' is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition throughout and the vendor has purposely left small imperfections such as touched in stone chips on the nose rather than painting these areas as he wanted to demonstrate that the car has 'never had a bump'.

A one-off opportunity to own a genuine one owner XJ-S Cabriolet and now becoming ever more desirable, this fabulous V12 Grand Tourer is now available on the market for the first time since it was purchased new.
