Exterior and Interior
British Racing Green might be the more famous of the shades of green worn by sporting British cars, but this 1984 Jaguar XJS eschews popular for pleasing a Polo Green coat. The current owner reports that the car received a repaint around 2009. Looking suitably distinguished, the car rolls on a set of five-spoke alloy wheels with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. This is a car that will turn heads wherever you choose to drive it. The plush interior of this car looks suitably British and definitively Eighties – you can almost detect the leather and wood scent just by looking at the photos of the car. Sporting leather seats and wood trim on the dash and doors, the cabin offers the best creature comforts of the time. Hence, you’ll find climate control, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. There’s also a trip computer, cruise control, and a comprehensive gauge pack. Meanwhile, the radio has been upgraded to a more modern Sony head unit with a CD player. Plus, there’s an equally luxurious set of rear seats, so two kids or smaller adults can travel there. Meanwhile, there’s a suitably spacious trunk, with spare tire and tire changing kit included.
Engine
This 1984 Jaguar XJS packs a beautifully tuneful 5.3L V12 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The power output for North American cars was around 260hp. Front and rear independent suspension ensures great handling characteristics, while disc brakes on all four wheels assures steady-footed stopping prowess. The current owner tells us that a recent oil change has been performed.
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. This 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible takes that formula a step further by replacing the original powerplant with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8 installed by Tempe Speed & Performance. The result is a classic British convertible with the reliability, serviceability, and performance of proven American V8 power. Showing approximately 97,465 miles, this XJS presents an appealing combination of vintage Jaguar charm and modernized mechanicals. Finished in attractive Diamond Blue Metallic over a Navy Blue interior and equipped with a matching Dark Blue convertible top, it offers an ideal open-air touring experience backed by upgraded V8 performance.
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. Showing just 30,083 miles, this example represents a compelling opportunity to own a low-mileage British grand tourer that blends elegant styling, open-air motoring, and analog driver engagement. Finished in timeless white over a tan leather interior with a matching tan convertible top, this XJS captures the classic luxury aesthetic that defined premium British motoring in the early 1990s.
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.
