Jaguar's XJS nameplate is one of the British automaker's most iconic, with its near-21-year production run across three iterations. A symbol of old-school British luxury that somehow managed to make it into the mid-Nineties, the XJS has also been featured extensively on Top Gear. This particular 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible is reportedly owned by a Jaguar enthusiast who has had it for eight years. Over its lifetime, the car has racked up just over 64,000 miles and is ready for a new owner to enjoy.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a lustrous red paint job, this 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible reportedly has its original paint in most places, save for the hood and driver's side door. As it's from the final iteration of the XJS that ran between 1991 and 1996, you'll note details such as the smoked rear taillamp clusters, alloy wheels, and revised overall styling. The car sports a tan convertible top that's power-operated and controlled via a rocker switch in the car. Speaking of the interior, it's a sumptuously appointed tan affair, with leather seats and wood trim for that old-school British charm. However, you'll also note modern conveniences such as an airbag-equipped steering wheel, the modernized gauge cluster that came on this iteration, and even climate control. The current owner discloses that the air conditioning has a fault that has to be diagnosed. We're also told that there's a custom cup holder assembly installed in the center console that deletes the ashtray as a result. You'll also find a trip computer in the center of the dash and beneath it, a modern Kenwood Bluetooth-capable head unit.

Engine

This 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible sports a powerful yet efficient 4.0L in-line six-cylinder engine under its stylishly long hood. Known as the AJ6 engine, this powerplant was factory rated for 245hp and 289lb-ft. You'll find that a 4-speed automatic transmission is employed to drive the rear wheels, resulting in an experience that's calming but surprisingly potent when you need to gain speed. Ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels ensure steady stopping power, while power steering is standard fitment. Another factor that we feel worth mentioning is the pristine condition of the engine bay, cementing the claim that the car is currently owned by a Jaguar enthusiast.
