Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version of Jaguar’s handsome XJ-S 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 to America, this particular example was imported to the UK by the vendor with the intention of converting it to right-hand drive. Sadly, work commitments prevented him from getting further than a NOVA declaration / paying the import duty. Professionally resprayed and fitted with a new hood, the Jaguar is also understood to have had its interior refurbished. Showing a credible but unwarranted 48,000 miles to its odometer, the XJS is described by the seller as being in ‘good’ (5.3 litre V12 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment) or ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) condition. Offered for sale with import paperwork and VOSA documentation should a new owner wish to progress having the Convertible UK road registered.
Vendor Condition Ratings:
Bodywork: 'Very Good'
Engine: 'Good'
Electrical Equipment: 'Good'
Paintwork: 'Very Good'
Gearbox: 'Good'
Interior Trim: 'Very Good'
