Overview of 1991 Jaguar XJS Convertible V12 For Sale by Owner

Jaguar’s XJS spent more than two decades carrying the torch for the legendary E-Type, evolving into one of the most refined grand touring cars of its era. This 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible shows 52,140 miles and represents one of the final years of the facelifted pre-AJR6 V12 models. Finished in elegant Signal Red over a Black interior, this British luxury convertible combines timeless styling, smooth V12 power, and open-air touring capability. With its long hood, pillarless design, and turbine-smooth twelve-cylinder engine, the XJS remains one of the most distinctive grand tourers produced by Jaguar. Today, well-preserved V12 convertibles are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and classic British character.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is finished in Signal Red, a vibrant color that highlights the XJS’s flowing body lines and unmistakable grand touring proportions. A Black convertible soft top provides an elegant contrast to the exterior finish, while chrome trim accents, quad headlamps, integrated fog lights, and factory Jaguar alloy wheels reinforce the car’s sophisticated appearance. Unlike many contemporary sports cars that prioritized aggressive styling, the XJS was designed to deliver effortless luxury and long-distance comfort, resulting in a shape that remains instantly recognizable decades later. The convertible configuration further enhances the driving experience by allowing occupants to enjoy the distinctive soundtrack of the V12 engine with the top lowered. The interior of this 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible showcases the craftsmanship for which Jaguar became renowned. Black upholstery is complemented by rich Burl Walnut wood veneer trim that stretches across the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Power-adjustable front seats and automatic climate control provide comfort for long-distance touring, while a leather-wrapped steering wheel contributes to the luxurious driving environment. A Pioneer audio head unit offers modern audio functionality while preserving the cabin’s classic character. The combination of wood, leather, and traditional British design cues creates an atmosphere that feels distinctly Jaguar and remains difficult to replicate in modern automobiles.

Engine

Powering this 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is a 5.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine equipped with Lucas Digital Electronic Fuel Injection. Renowned for its smoothness and refinement, Jaguar’s V12 delivers effortless power through a 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. The engine was engineered with grand touring in mind, offering strong highway performance and exceptional cruising comfort rather than outright sports car aggression. Four-wheel disc brakes, independent front and rear suspension, and Jaguar’s sophisticated chassis tuning provide a composed driving experience that remains impressive today. Few engines deliver power with the same seamless character as Jaguar’s iconic V12, making this XJS a memorable example of classic British luxury motoring.
