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.

The Jaguar XJS is well regarded as a fine classic Jag to own from this prolific British automaker. As Jaguar reinvents their identity in 2025 and goes in a different direction altogether, cars like this 54,533-mile 1993 Jaguar XJS are a great way to remember the brand’s colorful past of creating old-school British luxury cars for the discerning buyer. This particular car is sitting in Miramar, Florida, and has undergone a recent servicing. Moreover, the original manuals for this car are available, and what’s greater is, it’s been restored. You’ve also got all receipts available on request so that you can see the extent of work done to keep this beauty gliding along the roads.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Jaguar’s XJS is one of the most iconic grand tourers of the 1980s and 1990s. This beautiful car perfectly symbolizes old-school Jaguar charm, mixed with the modern features and conveniences of the time. Initially, Jaguar outsourced production of a convertible variant to American firm Hess & Eisenhardt in 1986. This was a coachwork job, where coupes were shipped to the company, and made into convertibles. However, Jaguar started making their own factory convertible variant from 1988. That’s what this 32,744-mile 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible is, and it could be yours! The car comes with up-to-date servicing as well.
The Jaguar XK was made between 1996 and 2014, across two generations. It was a fine two-door four-seat grand tourer from this iconic British luxury automaker that aimed to offer a laid back yet potent driving experience. Naturally, Jaguar also made it in drop-top form, for those who like an open-air experience. While the second generation is a sharp looking vehicle that’s still quite modern today, the first generation is a definite future classic. That’s why you should seriously consider buying this California-based 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible that we’ve got for sale. This car has traveled 118,956 miles so far, which shows how nice it is to drive. Moreover, it’s said to be all original, and the hydraulic pump has been replaced.

Introduced in the late ’90s, Jaguar’s S-Type was the British automaker’s midsize luxury car offering. Coming as your typical four-door sedan, the S-Type represented a refreshing alternative to luxury car buyers who didn’t want an E-Class or 5-Series. In 2008, the S-Type was replaced by the XF, making it a fairly short-lived car in a modern context. Today, getting your hands on an S-Type such as this 2007 Jaguar S-Type is a great idea because it’s a relatively uncommon car that’s still cut out for regular driving duties. Furthermore, it’s a definite future classic and one that you shouldn’t miss out on.
Cars have gotten a lot more flashy over the past few decades. They used to be used to get from A to B, but now? They’re seen as full-on accessories and status symbols. If you want a status symbol that will have people thinking you’re in the mafia but can also outrun the cops, this 2024 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Grand Edition with just under 7,000 miles on the clock is more than up to the task. You see, the G wagon started life as a rugged, utilitarian workhorse, but as the years have gone by, Mercedes has found more and more ways to refine it. And the rest is history. This particular G-Wagon is 1 of just 1,000 units in the world, making it a real unicorn.
The Range Rover is a luxury SUV from British off-roader maker Land Rover, and it was introduced in 1970 to show the world what Land Rover could do in the luxury space. Land Rover is best known for the iconic but spartan Series and Defender, and they wanted to broaden their target markets. The Range Rover spawned a few sub-derivatives as well, such as the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar, but the full-fat Range Rover remains supreme. Today, we’ve got a current-generation 2023 Land Rover Range Rover SE P400 for sale from Ford Lauderdale, Florida, with just 23,299 miles reported to its name. You really should experience this all-stock car to see what luxury SUV motoring is all about, and it makes a fine family hauler too, with its spacious cabin, roomy trunk, and plethora of tech toys.
Since 2003, the Bentley Continental has represented a fine four-seat two-door grand tourer from British luxury car supremo Bentley. The only one that’s well-equipped to challenge Rolls-Royce, Bentley Motors has been around for over a century. Furthermore, the brand is the choice of many affluent enthusiasts because it imbues a sense of driving pleasure into its cars. While a Rolls-Royce is best experienced from its sumptuous rear seat, a Bentley forces you to choose. Will it be the driver’s seat or the rear seat today? That conundrum is most applicable to four-door vehicles. When it’s a two-door like this 2013 Bentley Continental GTC, the choice is firmly the driver’s seat. So step up and step into the driver’s seat of this 11,700-mile grand tourer from Mississippi, and you’ll never have to settle for less.
