What’s more wonderful than a Jaguar XJ-S? A convertible one. When Jaguar debuted the first factory production Jaguar XJ-S Convertible in 1988, it was long overdue for enthusiasts in warm climates. Predictably, they were well received over the earlier SC variants and costly special conversion models from coachbuilders. Today, with prices continuing to climb, the XJ-S convertible has become a coveted classic for collectors, especially the V12 option. Lucky for you, what we have here is a stunning example of a 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible boasting a V12 heart under its hood. With a reported 43,910 miles on its clock, this beauty is up for sale in Georgia.
Exterior and Interior
The 1990 XJ-S is the second iteration of the model. It has the iconic Jaguar grand tourer styling with its long bonnet and elegant simple lines, embodying a statement piece of class and sophistication. This example is a gorgeous specimen with satin metallic beige paint along with a factory-original Twillfast canvas convertible top. The current owner has installed a new convertible top cover to protect it. The car sits on 15-inch Lattice wheels wrapped in new Hankook Kinergy ST tires. As you step inside you are greeted by a matching tan leather interior. With supple leather, beautifully veneered wood, and metal accents you are enveloped in the lap of luxury. The seats are not only comfortable they are also heated and power-operated. The steering wheel is wrapped in black leather along with the dashboard. The original BOSE audio player will keep your ears entertained while you ride in the cool air conditioning courtesy of an all-new AC unit.
Engine
The XJ-S was available with two engine options and this example is fitted with the buttery smooth and more powerful 5.3 litre V12. This powerhouse produces 263 horsepower that is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain combination gives super smooth power delivery accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is perfect for a Sunday cruiser. With a new battery being installed recently as well, this example can be cherished without worry.
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.
The Jaguar XJS spent decades evolving from a controversial successor to the E-Type into one of Britain’s most refined grand touring cars, and by 1993, it had matured into an exceptionally polished luxury convertible. This 1993 Jaguar XJS Convertible is especially intriguing thanks to its rare enthusiast-focused specification, pairing Jaguar’s smooth 4.0-liter AJ6 inline-six with the highly desirable Getrag 5-speed manual transmission—a combination seldom seen in the U.S. market. Showing just 30,083 miles, this example represents a compelling opportunity to own a low-mileage British grand tourer that blends elegant styling, open-air motoring, and analog driver engagement. Finished in timeless white over a tan leather interior with a matching tan convertible top, this XJS captures the classic luxury aesthetic that defined premium British motoring in the early 1990s.
Classic Jaguars are known as the gentleman's way of getting about; it's the four-wheeled version of a suit and tie that acts dignified and leaves an impression. A deep dive into the world of classic Jaguars and you sure are spoiled for choice, you have the E-Type that stole Enzo Ferrari's heart, you also have the XJ220 that gave the world what true British performance was like back in the 90s. While all these examples are a treat to look at and be behind the wheel of, they lack one thing: the feel of being a grand tourer. Let's cut out the deep search into your next classic and give you one of Britain's finest, it's this lovely 1989 Jaguar XJS with just 82,623 reported miles run in.
