Jaguar’s most iconic model from the Seventies and Eighties is arguably the XJ full-size luxury sedan, but if you dig a little deeper, you might beg to differ. The Jaguar XJ-S, is one of the brand’s most iconic designs, featuring what’s known as ‘flying buttresses’ at the rear on coupe variants, coupled with the automaker’s finest engines at the time. It’s not a sports car or performance machine, but a grand tourer, a mile-muncher that was aimed at the well-heeled who wanted to cover long distances in style, comfort, and luxury. Produced over 21 years, the model would see a facelift in 1991, that also saw the name shortened to XJS. This 1994 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is from the facelift era, and a late-model car that was manufactured just two years before production ended in 1996. If you’re a fan of the XJ-S/XJS, this is an example that’s not to be missed out on, as it’s got just 42,325 miles, and comes with two keys, original window sticker, books and manuals included in the sale.

Exterior and Interior

This drop-top 1994 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible may miss out on the flying buttress design of the coupe, but don’t let that put you down as it still cuts a gorgeous profile in its Glacier White paintjob with light brown convertible top. It rolls on a set of simple five-spoke alloy wheels with tires that have reportedly done less than 200 miles so far. All chrome detailing and badging appears to be in good condition, and the smoked rear lights came like that from factory. The interior sports a Cream Autolux color theme, and offers seating for up to four occupants, although rear legroom may be a little tight. The interior looks in great condition, with the wood-trimmed dash and clear instruments bearing testament to that. The front seats are heated and powered, with memory function and lumbar adjust on the driver’s seat. You’ve got door entry lights, illuminated sun visors, tilt steering wheel with twin horn, remote entry and security system, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and power mirrors. The seller reports that a new JVC head unit with Bluetooth capability has been installed, but the original Jaguar radio is included in the sale should you wish to revert.

Engine

This 1994 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible comes with the largest engine that the XJS range could be had with, a 6.0L V12 that was one of their most powerful at the time. Output was rated at around 318hp and 336lb-ft when new. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed ZF automatic transmission. The seller reports that this car has a new battery installed, and it’s been stored with a battery tender.
