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.

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!
By the mid-1990s, the Jaguar XJS had matured into a refined grand tourer, blending British craftsmanship with continental cruising ability. This 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible represents one of the final evolutions of the model, powered by the range-topping 6.0-liter V12. Finished in timeless British Racing Green with a tan leather interior and matching tan convertible top, it embodies the marque’s sense of understated elegance. With only 19,624 miles reported, this example shows as a gently preserved car that captures the best of Jaguar’s long-running luxury cabriolet.
Jaguar’s XJS is widely considered to be one of this British luxury automaker’s finest products of all time. Introduced in 1975 and made for over twenty years thereafter, the XJS popularized elements such as flying buttresses, and of course, Jaguar’s epic V12 engine. Today, we have a lovely example for sale in the shape of this 1994 Jaguar XJS V12 Gold Edition from Tennessee. The car has covered over 60,000 miles so far and comes with the uber-desirable V12 engine under the hood. You’ve really got to make this car your own if you’re an enthusiast, no questions about it. Thankfully, we can help you out – just call or DM us right now.
Arguably Jaguar’s most prolific model, the XJ full-size luxury sedan was made between 1968 and 2019. It’s known as the last model to be personally designed under Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars, and for much of its existence, the XJ stayed true to its core design language. All this changed in 2010, when the X351 generation came to be. Out went the admittedly dated design language and old-school driving dynamics in favor of a total rehash. The looks were sharp and fresh, the driving experience was top-notch and the car’s luxury features took several leaps too. Today, we have one of those fine machines, a 2015 Jaguar XJ Portfolio from Hagerstown, Maryland. With its supercharged V6, Meridian sound system and attractive aftermarket wheels, this 105,974-mile Jaaaag is ideal for you to adopt as your new daily driver.

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.
Audi’s Q8 is the most luxurious SUV that you can find from the iconic German Four-Ringed brand. While it’s slightly shorter than the Q7 in length and height, the Q8 swaps the former’s three-row layout for a more spacious two-row configuration. Plus, it’s available in high-performance RS Q8 form. So if you’re searching for a family SUV with over 500 horses under the hood and don’t have more than three children to cart around, this 2022 Audi RS Q8 from West Palm Beach, Florida is a great choice. The vehicle has done just over 46,000 miles so far and comes with a matte paint protection film wrap too. Get in touch with us ASAP to find out how to take this super-SUV home with you.
The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport HSE MHEV represents a refined balance of performance and modern luxury. Finished in Santorini Black Metallic over an espresso and ivory Windsor leather interior, it combines timeless elegance with understated athleticism. This model features Land Rover’s 3.0-liter mild hybrid turbocharged inline-six engine, delivering 395 horsepower through an 8-speed automatic transmission. It’s a well-equipped example, designed for those who appreciate both craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, while maintaining the brand’s hallmark off-road competence and quiet confidence on the road.
