Overview of 1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The XJ-S is designed like a true grand tourer, it works its design language to the legendary design of the E-type with the long bonnet and short boot while maintaining its period correctness with its curved yet flowing lines. This example of the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S HE V12 Convertible is finished in iconic factory original British racing green, fitting excellently for a British grand tourer. The black electro-hydraulic soft top provides hassle-free deployment and retracting of the roof as the hydraulic lift cylinders have been replaced by the current owner. As you step in through the wide doors you are greeted by a tan leather interior adorned with luxurious wood accents. This interior is reported to be original and you can enjoy heated seats with a press of a button.

Engine

The XJ-S HE is powered by a 5.3L V12 HE engine producing 286 hp and 310 ft-lb of torque that is fired up by its Lucas-Bosh Digital EFI fuel injection system. When paired with the GM Turbo Hydramatic THM-400 3-Speed Automatic, it could reach 60 mph in less than 10 seconds. This vehicle is said to have its original engine and transmission and has never been rebuilt. The current owner has followed up on maintenance as well with the replacing of new brakes, rotors, drive belt and bonnet struts.
