In 1975, Jaguar Cars introduced their pinnacle luxury grand tourer, and christened it the XJ-S, and it later became XJS. The XJS saw a long production run until 1996, when the XK8/XKR took over. In fact, the XJS was the two-door equivalent of the fine XJ luxury saloon. Whilst it was quite a swift seller during its heyday, a cared-for XJS is rather rarer today, which makes this 1990 Jaguar XJS Rouge a rather desirable option if quirky British grand tourers are your pick. Coming from Nevada, it’s got a relatively light 54,500 miles on it and is a convertible.
Exterior and Interior
The styling of the XJS was penned by Malcolm Sawyer in the late Sixties, and it’s amazing how the design looked relevant well into the Nineties. This 1990 Jaguar XJS Rouge is a special edition that wears a distinctive Signal Red paint job with black convertible top. It’s got the North American-mandated headlamps and bumpers too. All badges are present and correct, and the chrome work beautifully gleams in the sunshine. Sporting a tan interior is one of the best ways to complement a bright red exterior, which this car proudly presents, especially with the top down. Two occupants can cruise in comfort on leather seats with red piping, as the convertible top mechanism does away with the rear seats. The gadget count is surprisingly comprehensive for a car of this vintage, and includes air conditioning, heated seats, a Jaguar stereo radio cassette, power mirrors, power windows, power door locks and push-button trip computer. A clear set of gauges face the driver with a 160mph speedometer and tachometer redlined at 6,500rpm, with four linear gauges in-between, signaling fuel level, engine coolant temperature, engine oil level and battery charge.
Engine
This 1990 Jaguar XJS Rouge sports the automaker’s iconic 5.3L V12 engine, known as the High Efficiency V12. Utilizing fuel injection, the engine sends out a very respectable 263hp to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic gearbox. Braking is via disc brakes on all wheels. Recent maintenance has been reported on this car, as has a recent oil change.
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.
Few automobiles are as instantly recognizable as the Jaguar E-Type, a machine that has long been celebrated for its stunning design and engaging driving dynamics. This 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Coupe is a fascinating survivor story, having spent decades in storage before being recommissioned and returned to the road. Showing 78,775 miles, this example pairs Jaguar’s legendary 4.2-liter inline-six engine with the highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Finished in Dark Blue over a Biscuit interior, the car retains many of the characteristics that made the E-Type an icon of the automotive world. For enthusiasts seeking a usable classic with documented history and an authentic character, this Series II 2+2 presents a unique opportunity to experience one of Britain’s most celebrated sports cars.
Jaguar’s XJ6 Vanden Plas represented the pinnacle of British luxury motoring during the late 1980s, combining timeless styling, handcrafted appointments, and a refined driving experience. This 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas is an exceptionally preserved example showing just 6,445 miles from new, making it a rare opportunity to acquire one of the lowest-mileage XJ40-generation Jaguars on the market today. Finished in elegant British Racing Green over a Tan Connolly leather interior, this flagship sedan embodies the craftsmanship and prestige that made Jaguar a favorite among executives, diplomats, and luxury car enthusiasts worldwide. With its remarkably low mileage and highly original presentation, this Vanden Plas offers collectors and enthusiasts a chance to experience Jaguar luxury exactly as it was intended nearly four decades ago.
