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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. It’s well known for its iconic flying buttressed design in coupe variants, but convertibles are no less beautiful. Case in point, this later-model 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible from Lake Worth Beach Florida. With 139,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s an enjoyable drive, and you could avail yourself to all this British luxury and class right now!
One of the prettiest cars in the world, the Jaguar E-Type was so breathtaking when it launched in 1961 that it reportedly was able to even captivate the heart of Enzo Ferrari! Called the XK-E for the North American market, it was made between 1961 and 1974 and offered in coupe and convertible variants. Purists argue that the coupe is the better looking of the two, and if you’d like to join in the discussion, why not get some ammo? Here’s a 1967 Jaguar XK-E Coupe for sale from Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a wonderful specimen of one of the most prolific cars of the Sixties and is an excellent future investment too.
This 1982 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas represents the most luxurious specification available for the Series III XJ line, delivering British craftsmanship at its finest. Wearing a sleek black exterior over a beige Connolly leather cabin, it showcases the dignified proportions and Pininfarina-influenced styling that defined the era. The 4.2L EFI inline-6 provides the smooth, refined power Jaguar is known for, paired with a relaxed 3-speed automatic for effortless cruising. As the Vanden Plas flagship, this example elevates comfort, exclusivity, and finish quality far beyond the standard XJ6, making it an excellent choice for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a classic luxury sedan with true pedigree.
Jaguar Cars is going through a transition these days, and no-one seems to quite know what’s coming up next by them. No worries though, as they’ve got a long back catalogue of Greatest Hits for their fans to pick from. Today, we have one of their modern sports coupes for sale, in the shape of this 2017 Jaguar F-Type S British Design Edition. Coming with under 35,000 miles and a spicy supercharged engine, this British Design Edition example hails from Austin, Texas. Widely considered to be one of Jaguar’s finest modern sports cars, the F-Type was also a stellar sales success, with over 87,000 units sold by the time production ceased in June 2024. That means this car will only get more and more desirable as time goes by.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
