The Jaguar XJS was one of the longest-running grand touring cars ever produced by the British marque, blending elegant styling, effortless cruising manners, and luxurious appointments. This 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible takes that formula a step further by replacing the original powerplant with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8 installed by Tempe Speed & Performance. The result is a classic British convertible with the reliability, serviceability, and performance of proven American V8 power. Showing approximately 97,465 miles, this XJS presents an appealing combination of vintage Jaguar charm and modernized mechanicals. Finished in attractive Diamond Blue Metallic over a Navy Blue interior and equipped with a matching Dark Blue convertible top, it offers an ideal open-air touring experience backed by upgraded V8 performance.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible is finished in Diamond Blue Metallic, a sophisticated color that highlights the XJS’s distinctive long hood, flowing body lines, and elegant grand touring proportions. The power-operated Dark Blue convertible soft top complements the body color beautifully, while the factory-style 15-inch lattice alloy wheels preserve the car’s original upscale appearance. Signature Jaguar styling cues such as the elongated front end, subtle chrome accents, and low-slung stance make this convertible instantly recognizable as one of Britain’s most iconic luxury touring cars. The interior of this 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible features a Navy Blue cabin trimmed with rich Burr Walnut wood veneer throughout the dashboard and center console. The combination of deep blue upholstery and genuine wood trim creates the traditional luxury atmosphere Jaguar was known for during this era. Comfortable seating, clear instrumentation, and a driver-focused layout make this XJS an enjoyable companion for long-distance touring, while the open-top configuration allows occupants to fully enjoy the car’s grand touring character.
Engine
Under the hood sits a 5.7L naturally aspirated LS1 V8 equipped with electronic fuel injection, replacing the factory Jaguar engine through a conversion completed by Tempe Speed & Performance. The LS1 is widely regarded as one of General Motors’ most durable and tunable V8 engines, offering strong torque, responsive performance, and extensive parts availability. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, maintaining the relaxed grand touring nature of the XJS while benefiting from the improved reliability and drivability of modern fuel-injected V8 power. This engine swap creates a unique blend of British luxury and American muscle, making the car easier to maintain and more enjoyable to drive than many stock examples.
The 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible represents the final evolution of Jaguar’s iconic grand touring roadster, combining elegant British styling, luxurious appointments, and effortless cruising capability.

Today, well-preserved V12 convertibles are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and classic British character.
The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner. Finished in elegant Grosvenor Brown over a Biscuit leather interior, this V12-powered Jaguar remains remarkably preserved and is accompanied by its original documentation, a set of OEM factory wheels, and the original factory dual-beam headlights. Combining low ownership, exceptionally low mileage, and a highly original presentation, this XJS offers collectors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most sophisticated grand touring coupes from the 1980s.
The 2011 Jaguar XK Convertible represents a distinctive era of Jaguar grand touring, pairing elegant British styling with a naturally aspirated V8 and an open-top layout designed for long-distance cruising as much as spirited driving. This example is finished in Caviar over a Warm Charcoal interior with a Black convertible soft top, a combination complemented by Ivory contrast stitching and Burl Walnut veneer trim. It also features 20-inch “Kasuga” multi-spoke alloy wheels and Jaguar’s hood leaper ornament, giving the car an especially classic Jaguar presentation.

The 2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertible captures the elegant grand-touring character that made Jaguar’s XK series so distinctive at the turn of the millennium. Showing 52,123 miles, this example is finished in Topaz Metallic over an Oatmeal leather interior with a beige convertible soft top. Its specification blends classic British luxury with desirable period equipment, including burl walnut interior trim, the Alpine Premium Sound System, a Compact Disc Autochanger, Jaguar Integrated Navigation, and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels. With its long hood, flowing bodywork, and open-top configuration, this XK8 delivers the kind of understated presence that has aged especially well.
The 2002 Jaguar XKR 100 Convertible is a genuinely special version of Jaguar’s X100-generation grand tourer, created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of company founder Sir William Lyons. Limited to just 500 XKR 100 coupes and convertibles worldwide, it combined the already potent supercharged XKR platform with a distinctive package of performance, luxury, and appearance upgrades. This example is finished in the edition-exclusive Anthracite Metallic over Warm Charcoal leather and shows approximately 10,309 miles. With its 370-horsepower supercharged V8, 20-inch BBS Montreal wheels, Brembo brakes, Recaro seating, CATS suspension, factory navigation, and Alpine audio, it delivers the blend of rarity, elegance, and performance that makes the XKR 100 particularly appealing to Jaguar enthusiasts.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain.

The centerpiece is a 440ci V8 fitted with FiTech electronic fuel injection and a Mancini Racing Six Pack intake, backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8¾-inch Sure Grip rear end with 3.55 gears. Add in the N96 Air Grabber system, AMD bulge hood, Rallye instrumentation, Slap Stik shifter, and Super Bee graphics, and this tribute captures the visual attitude of Mopar’s muscle-car era with a more usable modernized fuel system.
