Jaguar Cars of Great Britain is currently going through somewhat of a transition. As the brand attempts to reinvent and reposition itself, it’s always nice to peruse through their archives of great cars. One of their signature models of the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties was their XJS grand tourer. Over twenty one years, this fine long-distance cruiser carved out a niche of ardent fans.

The Jaguar XJS spent decades evolving from a controversial successor to the E-Type into one of Britain’s most refined grand touring cars, and by 1993, it had matured into an exceptionally polished luxury convertible. This 1993 Jaguar XJS Convertible is especially intriguing thanks to its rare enthusiast-focused specification, pairing Jaguar’s smooth 4.0-liter AJ6 inline-six with the highly desirable Getrag 5-speed manual transmission—a combination seldom seen in the U.S. market.

The Jaguar XJS was one of the longest-running grand touring cars ever produced by the British marque, blending elegant styling, effortless cruising manners, and luxurious appointments.

The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner.

Jaguar’s XJS is arguably one of the British automaker’s most iconic models from history. Born as a grand tourer, this stately car has been driven by celebrities, and featured on film. The car’s most iconic feature is its flying buttress design at the rear, and one that remained untouched throughout the 19-year production run. Up for grabs here is a fine example of a 1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe that’s done a healthy 191,000 miles, but is said to run and drive beautifully by the seller.

Jaguar’s most iconic model from the Seventies and Eighties is arguably the XJ full-size luxury sedan, but if you dig a little deeper, you might beg to differ. The Jaguar XJ-S, is one of the brand’s most iconic designs, featuring what’s known as ‘flying buttresses’ at the rear on coupe variants, coupled with the automaker’s finest engines at the time. It’s not a sports car or performance machine, but a grand tourer, a mile-muncher that was aimed at the well-heeled who wanted to cover long distances in style, comfort, and luxury. Produced over 21 years, the model would see a facelift in 1991, that also saw the name shortened to XJS. This 1994 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is from the facelift era, and a late-model car that was manufactured just two years before production ended in 1996. If you’re a fan of the XJ-S/XJS, this is an example that’s not to be missed out on, as it’s got just 42,325 miles, and comes with two keys, original window sticker, books and manuals included in the sale.
In 1975, Jaguar Cars introduced their pinnacle luxury grand tourer, and christened it the XJ-S, and it later became XJS. The XJS saw a long production run until 1996, when the XK8/XKR took over. In fact, the XJS was the two-door equivalent of the fine XJ luxury saloon. Whilst it was quite a swift seller during its heyday, a cared-for XJS is rather rarer today, which makes this 1990 Jaguar XJS Rouge a rather desirable option if quirky British grand tourers are your pick. Coming from Nevada, it’s got a relatively light 54,500 miles on it and is a convertible.
The XJS is a British luxury grand tourer built from the late '70s until 1996 by British car manufacturer Jaguar cars.

Production of the XJS lasted nearly 21 years, and a total of just over 115,000 of these magnificent machines were built. Our subject car, a final-year 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 Convertible, resides in California, awaiting its new owner.
If you’re searching for a classic Jaaaag, this 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible from Warrenton, Virginia is a fine choice for many reasons. First off, the XJS is one of Jaguar’s finest and best Greatest Hits from their back catalogue. It’s a grand tourer with timeless style, and the choice of a snarling V12 or frugal but still nippy straight six under the hood. Plus, since this 70,000-mile Flamenco Red example is a later-model car, it’s got a bit more niceties on the inside, as well as being a proper factory convertible. Did you know that earlier in the XJS’s life, convertibles were actually made from coupes by an aftermarket outfit, under contract from Jaguar? However, after 1988, Jaguar started making them in-house. That, and many more reasons, including the very near classic status, are all compelling cases to buy this car.
Classic Jaguars are known as the gentleman's way of getting about; it's the four-wheeled version of a suit and tie that acts dignified and leaves an impression. A deep dive into the world of classic Jaguars and you sure are spoiled for choice, you have the E-Type that stole Enzo Ferrari's heart, you also have the XJ220 that gave the world what true British performance was like back in the 90s. While all these examples are a treat to look at and be behind the wheel of, they lack one thing: the feel of being a grand tourer. Let's cut out the deep search into your next classic and give you one of Britain's finest, it's this lovely 1989 Jaguar XJS with just 82,623 reported miles run in.
A mainstay of British Grand Tourers between 1975 and 1996, the Jaguar XJS is an interestingly-styled vehicle that was offered with frugal straight six or all-out twelve-cylinder powerplant choices. It became a symbol of the Seventies and Eighties, and has prominently featured on the silver screen too. Now, an XJS represents a sound and sensible way to own a classic Jaguar, especially a later-model drop-top example like this 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The car has got 78,110 miles on the clock and since it’s a later-model variant, features quite a few creature comforts and refinements absent from the very early models.
By the mid-1990s, the Jaguar XJS had matured into a refined grand tourer, blending British craftsmanship with continental cruising ability.

Finished in timeless British Racing Green with a tan leather interior and matching tan convertible top, it embodies the marque’s sense of understated elegance. With only 19,624 miles reported, this example shows as a gently preserved car that captures the best of Jaguar’s long-running luxury cabriolet.
One of the most breathtakingly beautiful cars built by Jaguar Cars Limited of Great Britain, the XJS came about in 1975. With a 21-year production run, the XJS, previously called the XJ-S in earlier years, remains one of Jaguar’s longest running models to this day. Malcolm Sawyer oversaw the styling but passed away before the car was released; Geoff Lawson was responsible for the facelift in 1991, which is what this 1994 Jaguar XJS Gold Edition looks like. Coming to you with the 6.0-liter V12 engine option, this one owner car is reportedly all-stock and a Gold Edition too. It’s got a mere 35,000 miles on the clock and features a fetching ivory interior with green piping as well.
