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
$17,999
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.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$12,999
SOLD

Some cars carry with them a certain dignity, a heritage, and character that sets them apart from the run-of-the-mill daily transportation. Take, for example, the XJS. During its long history, Jaguar has tampered as little as possible with a magnificent V12 engine or its singular styling. The Jaguar XJS V12 is the cheapest V12 sports car you can buy, even though it's a 12-cylinder car from a desirable luxury brand. This quintessential symbol of British grand touring luxury can now be yours with this stunning example of the 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible. Located in McDonough, Georgia, this beauty comes to you with 2+2 seating, independent suspension, and a serene ride. And they don't come much bigger or better than this big Brit bruiser.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$27,999
SOLD

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.

2006 Jaguar XKR
