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.

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 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible ushered in a new era for Jaguar's grand touring lineup, introducing an advanced aluminum-intensive body structure, contemporary styling, and refined V8 performance under the direction of renowned designer Ian Callum.
