Background Story of this 1988 Jaguar XJS

Overview of 1988 Jaguar XJS For Sale by Owner

The Jaguar XJS, a British luxury grand tourer, graced the automotive world from 1975 to 1996, earning its reputation for both distinctive styling and a formidable V12 engine. This captivating vehicle has been cherished by enthusiasts across the globe, with over 115,000 units produced during its time in the niche luxury car market. Now, the opportunity arises to claim ownership of this 1988 Jaguar XJS, a vehicle that stands out with its exceptionally low mileage. The current owner proudly reports a mere 16,288 miles on this seemingly all-original classic, making it a rare find for those who have been captivated by the allure of this distinctive model.

Exterior and Interior

Cloaked in an elegant bluish-gray finish, the 1988 Jaguar XJS is the convertible variant, graced with eye-catching wire wheels and Pirelli P4000 tires. Its contrasting black convertible top presents a striking visual contrast. Whether cruising with the top down or up, the XJS's timeless elongated silhouette is sure to capture attention, accompanied by the characteristic burble of the V12 engine emanating from the twin stock exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the gray-themed cabin exudes an air of sophistication and class. The interior is adorned with wood trim and features power-adjustable seats, power windows, and power mirrors. Practical modern conveniences such as cruise control and air conditioning are at your disposal, with the latter reportedly in working condition. The center console hosts a trip computer capable of displaying various information. A radio cassette player is included, although the current owner notes that the cassette player is not functioning. Twin ashtrays and a cigar lighter pay homage to the automotive trends of the Eighties when smoking in cars was commonplace. The cigar lighter can also serve as a 12v power socket with the appropriate adapter for charging devices. The trunk is similarly clean, housing a neatly tucked spare tire.

Engine

The 5.3L V12 engine beneath the hood of the 1988 Jaguar XJS is a source of delight, offering a wealth of power that beckons you to seize every driving opportunity. In the North American market, it produced approximately 263 horsepower. Drive is efficiently managed by a smooth three-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to the rear wheels. All-around disc brakes ensure reliable stopping performance. The current owner has noted that the rear transmission seal requires replacement, a task that can help ensure the vehicle's continued dependability and performance.

1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$14,999
SOLD

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.

1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$14,999
SOLD

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.

2006 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$23,999

This 2006 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio is a true flagship luxury sedan and one of the most exclusive modern Jaguars ever produced. Showing under 97,000 miles, it represents a rare opportunity to own a limited-production model, with only 145 examples built for the U.S. market. Even more impressive, this car is reportedly 1 of just 95 finished in Black Cherry Metallic, a highly sought-after and seldom-seen color that enhances its collectibility. The Portfolio trim was designed as the ultimate expression of the XJ, combining supercharged performance, long-wheelbase comfort, and bespoke-level appointments that rival far more expensive luxury sedans.

2012 Jaguar XJ

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$21,900

British luxury automaker Jaguar’s top-tier offering in the sedan space was their iconic XJ model. Made from 1968 to 2019, the XJ maintained a rather similar design ethos for much of its life. This meant that even models from the Nineties, although thoroughly modernized, didn’t look too far removed from their forefathers. All this changed in 2010, with the X351 generation. This era saw everything about the XJ given a full rebirth, from the styling to the mechanicals and everything else too. Suddenly, the XJ had shed its “old person” looks and started attracting new demographics as well. So, if you’re shopping for a pre-owned luxury car, this 2012 Jaguar XJ from Texas is a great choice. With its sumptuous interior, snarling V8 and just under 14,000 miles done, it’s a veritable bargain. The current owner says that the owner’s manual and two keys are included with the sale.
