The Jaguar XJS is a refined luxury grand tourer from British car maker Jaguar. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS has become something of a curio. Thanks to its eye-catching styling, flying buttresses, and growling V12 engine on some variants, it's definitely a classic car to have. While an official convertible was offered, American firm Hess & Eisenhardt was able to create a cleaner profile by specially converting XJS Coupes into Convertibles. This 1988 Jaguar XJS V12 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is one such example, and it's a pretty limited-edition car. Records are sparse, but it's widely believed that just 2,100 cars were converted in this manner. This example comes to you with 80,500 miles on its odometer and is ready for more, in all its power-operated soft-top glory.
Suitably painted in Champagne color, this 1988 Jaguar XJS V12 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible sports a contrasting black power-operated convertible top. Hess & Eisenhardt's genius means that the top completely folds down when lowered, rather than the official Jaguar unit which tends to leave an unsightly hump. To accomplish this Hess & Eisenhardt did quite a fair bit of engineering under the skin. They removed the single fuel tank and implemented a new dual-tank set-up. Then, they added steel reinforcements around the car to reduce the scuttle shake that's common on convertibles. They even installed weights behind the headlamps to dampen harmonic resonances. All this shows that Hess & Eisenhardt aren't just some backyard fabricator lot but a proper automotive engineering company. Hence, this 1988 Jaguar XJS V12 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is as good as a factory XJS convertible, albeit with a much cleaner profile when the top is down. It rolls on alloy wheels and wears new tires. Inside, you'll find a two-seat tan interior with a cargo shelf behind the seats. This car has climate control, power-adjustable seats, power windows, power mirrors, and cruise control. It also packs a Jaguar-branded premium audio system. You've also got a spacious trunk, highlighting the XJS' role as a grand tourer.
This 1988 Jaguar XJS V12 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible packs the lovely 5.3L V12 engine that connoisseurs of the marque covet. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission that's reportedly been rebuilt less than 500 miles ago. The car comes with power-assisted disc brakes on all four wheels, which reportedly sport new parts, and a new power steering unit. It also has independent suspension for the most comfortable ride. Finally, we're told that the engine has received an oil change.
Jaguar is an authentic British car brand with over 80 years of heritage with roots in racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The marque is world-renowned for creating luxury grand touring vehicles meant for hauling comfortably on cross-country road trips; these vehicles have big engines up front with a long sweeping bonnet with a hint of sportiness. Jaguar is loved by many, coupled with years of racing pedigree, this two-door sports car has been seen to show up on red carpets in the big screen era that took over Hollywood in the 50’s and 60’s. The XJ-S catered to the clients who sought out luxuries with a mighty fire breathing V12 up front for its two-door grand touring escapades that can eat up miles on the highway driving cross country. The XJ-S was renamed the XJ-S HE in July 1981, and it received the new High-Efficiency V12 engine, which provided far better fuel economy. This example is a 1990 XJS V12 Convertible with 50,000 original miles on the odometer.
