With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Exterior and Interior
This red 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 is a convertible. You might have noticed its tan power-operated top from our pictures. What’s more, since this is a 1992 model, it’s been built by Jaguar, rather than the earlier Hess & Eisenhardt conversions, that ran between 1986 and 1988. Purists naturally prefer the Jaguar convertible, because it means the car came as such, rather than being shipped as a coupe to the USA and ‘chopped’. The car features the iconic Jaguar hood mascot, and rolls on a set of quintessentially eighties alloy wheels, wrapped with new tires, we’re told. Overall, it’s a superb example of an iconic Jag. The interior continues the theme of old-world British luxury charm, but it’s got some creature comforts too. For starters, you’ll find power-operated seats, power windows, power mirrors and a powered radio antenna. Then, there’s a climate control system and a Sony aftermarket radio head unit. Then, there’s a small padded luggage area behind the two seats, plus a decently-sized trunk, replete with spare wheel and tire.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 lies a 5.3L naturally aspirated V12 that will win your heart from the moment it fires up. You can expect around 260hp, sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic gearbox. This combo provides a smooth driving experience, paired with surprising overtaking capabilities when you get your foot down. Furthermore, the current owner tells us that the car has had both thermostats replaced, so you need not worry about overheating.
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. This example has traveled 86,106 miles and is finished in Signal Red with a Tan interior and Tan convertible soft top, creating a timeless color combination that complements the XJS’s classic lines. Powered by Jaguar’s refined AJ16 inline-six engine, this XJS offers a smooth and comfortable driving experience while retaining the character and craftsmanship that defined Jaguar’s legendary grand touring cars. Additional features including wood interior trim, 15-inch alloy wheels, and the factory AM/FM cassette audio system complete this well-equipped example.
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.
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 2006 Jaguar XJ8 L represents the classic Jaguar approach to luxury sedans, combining traditional British craftsmanship with modern performance and comfort. As the long-wheelbase variant of the XJ lineup, the XJ8 L provides additional rear passenger space while maintaining the refined driving dynamics expected from Jaguar’s flagship sedan. Finished in Slate with a Champagne interior, this example features elegant wood trim, premium audio, navigation, and rear-seat amenities that highlight its executive-focused character. Showing 55,782 miles, this XJ8 L offers a distinctive blend of V8 performance, understated styling, and old-world luxury.
The 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible represents Jaguar’s return to the classic grand touring formula, combining British elegance, open-air motoring, and the smooth performance of a naturally aspirated V8. As the successor to the XJS, the XK8 introduced Jaguar’s modern aluminum-intensive design language while maintaining traditional luxury touches such as wood trim, leather upholstery, and a refined driving experience. Finished in British Racing Green over an Oatmeal leather interior with a Tan convertible soft top, this example shows approximately 37,115 miles and features desirable equipment including chrome plated wheels, Harman Kardon premium audio, and the All-Weather Package.
The 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas represents the height of traditional British luxury from Jaguar’s renowned Series III era, combining elegant styling, handcrafted appointments, and a smooth inline-six powertrain. As the top-tier Vanden Plas model, it offered enhanced levels of refinement through premium materials and exclusive interior features while maintaining the timeless character that defined the XJ sedan. This example shows approximately 34,086 miles and is finished in Bordeaux Red Metallic over a Barley interior, featuring desirable luxury appointments including burl walnut wood veneer, veneered rear picnic tables, power adjustable leather seats, and factory alloy wheels. With its low mileage, classic Jaguar styling, and carefully appointed cabin, this XJ6 Vanden Plas represents a compelling example of a period-correct British luxury sedan.
