Exterior and Interior
Wearing a burgundy coat that looks just like a fine dark red wine, this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is a car for the discerning. Since it’s a convertible you don’t get the iconic flying buttress rear design, but what you do get is a tan, power-operated drop-top that drenches the cabin in glorious sunshine on pleasant days. Alternatively, you could take a night drive on clear nights and enjoy the gaze of every single star in the sky. The car’s timeless design and silver five-spoke alloy wheels will definitely make it a head-turner no matter where you go. The interior of this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is in 2+2 configuration, which means two adults and up to two children can travel in its passenger cabin. The seats are covered in sumptuous tan leather, while the dashboard and door cards sport walnut wood trim. There’s no shortage of powered conveniences, including the aforementioned powered convertible roof, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. Then, you’ll be kept comfortable by air conditioning, and your choice of music from a modern Kenwood head unit with USB and AUX options.
Engine
Pop open the front-hinged hood of this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible and you’ll find a 4.0L in-line six-cylinder engine waiting to be deployed. Granted, it may not be the legendary V12, but you’ll appreciate the Six’s smoothness and relative simplicity, especially when maintenance time comes calling. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic gearbox, while disc brakes on all wheels ensure steady stopping abilities. After all, this is a Grand Tourer, so even if you choose to drive it swiftly, you’ve got to be smooth.
The Jaguar XJS was one of the longest-running grand touring cars ever produced by the British marque, blending elegant styling, effortless cruising manners, and luxurious appointments.

The result is a classic British convertible with the reliability, serviceability, and performance of proven American V8 power. Showing approximately 97,465 miles, this XJS presents an appealing combination of vintage Jaguar charm and modernized mechanicals. Finished in attractive Diamond Blue Metallic over a Navy Blue interior and equipped with a matching Dark Blue convertible top, it offers an ideal open-air touring experience backed by upgraded V8 performance.
The Jaguar XJS spent decades evolving from a controversial successor to the E-Type into one of Britain’s most refined grand touring cars, and by 1993, it had matured into an exceptionally polished luxury convertible.

Showing just 30,083 miles, this example represents a compelling opportunity to own a low-mileage British grand tourer that blends elegant styling, open-air motoring, and analog driver engagement. Finished in timeless white over a tan leather interior with a matching tan convertible top, this XJS captures the classic luxury aesthetic that defined premium British motoring in the early 1990s.
Classic Jaguars are known as the gentleman's way of getting about; it's the four-wheeled version of a suit and tie that acts dignified and leaves an impression. A deep dive into the world of classic Jaguars and you sure are spoiled for choice, you have the E-Type that stole Enzo Ferrari's heart, you also have the XJ220 that gave the world what true British performance was like back in the 90s. While all these examples are a treat to look at and be behind the wheel of, they lack one thing: the feel of being a grand tourer. Let's cut out the deep search into your next classic and give you one of Britain's finest, it's this lovely 1989 Jaguar XJS with just 82,623 reported miles run in.
