One of Jaguar’s finest luxury cars, the XJS is well-known for its interesting styling and growling V12 engine. Produced for 21 years, the model ran between 1975 and 1996. The XJS saw many updates along the way, but have you heard of the Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible? Hess & Eisenhardt was an American outfit who converted regular Jaguar XJS examples into custom convertibles, before Jaguar themselves started officially offering a convertible. And that’s what we’ve got for sale today, a 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible with the signature custom Hess & Eisenhardt body modifications that make it a gorgeous drop-top for weekend cruises. The car comes to you with a mere 72,000 miles, and infinite charisma.
This 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible presents itself in a beautiful shade of blue. But that’s not the sole element of its allure. Its double headlamps, beautifully flowing lines, alloy wheels and power-operated soft top all add to the car’s overall aura. There’s also a color-coordinated boot cover, a heated glass rear window, and a color-keyed high-mounted rear stop lamp. The blue interior of this 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is a two-seat affair, with two plush leather seats awaiting an eager driver and enthusiastic passenger. The seats are power-adjustable and heated too. There are also electrically-operated windows, including the rear quarter windows, power-adjustable mirrors, and climate control. Then, we observe a trip computer and a Jaguar radio cassette player sitting in the center console. Meanwhile, behind the two seats lies a carpeted rear luggage area, with a chrome plated luggage retention rail, and even a leather-trimmed boot storage bag in the trunk. The rear compartment also contains interior lamps for more convenience. You can see the extent to which Hess & Eisenhardt have gone to create something truly amazing.
What Hess & Eisenhardt have left alone with this 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is the engine. That’s because Jaguar already did a fine job, placing a lovely 5.3L V12 beneath the hood, and driving the rear wheels via a smooth automatic gearbox. With around 260 horses waiting for your command, you can enjoy a surprisingly sprightly ride.

Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.

Succeeding the popular Aston Martin DB7 wasn’t an easy task, but Aston Martin pulled it off with the DB9 in 2004. In fact, the DB9 was so popular that it ran until 2016. Building on the DB7 in every way, Aston Martin was so confident in the success of their new model that they skipped a number! Actually, Aston Martin did not use DB8 because they thought people would think that their new car came with a V8 -which it didn’t. Nope, a fantastically musical V12 resides in the nose of every single DB9, including this achingly gorgeous 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante that’s for sale right now. Having done over 22,000 miles, this Jacksonville, Florida-based grand tourer is up for new ownership, and if you’re interested, hit us up ASAP.
In this day and age, SUVs are the rising star that are in demand more than sedans. The 2024 Audi RS Q8 is one such example. This vehicle is best described as a supercar and an SUV rolled into one, so much so that the RS Q8 can easily give the Lamborghini Urus a run for its money. The good news is that it can behave properly and provide a comfortable commute when necessary. We know you’re curious, so why don’t you take a chance on this 2024 Audi RS Q8 with just over 12,000 miles on its clock? It is located in Lafayette, Louisiana, comes with its original window sticker, and is ready to arrive at your driveway.
Porsche was one of the earliest to jump on the SUV bandwagon, with the Cayenne in 2002. It promised a versatile and capable family hauling experience paired with Porsche’s signature blend of performance and handling prowess. While the first generation wasn’t particularly well-received, the Cayenne more than redeemed itself with the second. That’s where this 2017 Porsche Cayenne GTS from Tallahassee, Florida fits in. With under 60,000 miles to its name, this is the perfect family hauler for a discerning Porsche fan with commitments. It’s even been upgraded with a Softronic software tune for a bit more power.
