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. Though, 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.

Supplied new by Henlys of London in June 1988 and enjoyed sparingly throughout ownership, this XJ-S Convertible displays very low mileage of c.33,800, despite its age. Just 4 keepers are shown on the HPi report and within that history it appears this right-hand drive market Convertible made its way to the Netherlands in November of 1996, being repatriated to the UK in recent years. There is a large history file with some details of its time in Holland. A stack of certificates from the Dutch version of the MOT, evidentially represents little mileage between tests. Among the invoices is a receipt from 2017 for a new steering rack, purchased from S.N.G Barratt and automatic transmission oil in 2016. Back in the UK, 2022 has already seen an oil and filter change and a right-hand front brake caliper. 'E748 ERR' is offered with the owner's guide tape cassette, owner's wallet (handbooks and service record with 6 main dealer entries) and a collection of invoices plus V5C document.
