The XJS is a British luxury grand tourer built from the late '70s until 1996 by British car manufacturer Jaguar cars. The Jaguar's unique look gave it quick popularity, and the XJS played a role in such hit TV and Film series such as The New Avengers and Return of The Saint. Production of the XJS lasted nearly 21 years, and a total of just over 115,000 of these magnificent machines were built. Our subject car, a final-year 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 Convertible, resides in California, awaiting its new owner.
Exterior and Interior
The car captured the eye of car enthusiasts immediately thanks to its rear flying buttresses. The initial styling of this big cat was partially influenced by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, one of the first designers to apply advanced aero principles to cars. The exterior of this Jag comes in Signal Red, with chrome trim running along the bumpers, grille, windshield frame, and side mirrors. The beige soft-top roof is in excellent condition and works flawlessly for when you want to feel the wind in your hair. This car's interior looks brand new, with an elegant beige theme giving it a look of Jaguar luxury. The dash panel, gearbox, and door panels include a fine wood finish and is an interesting contrast to the original beige leather bucket seats. A 6-disc CD changer has also been fitted in to ensure you have an entertaining drive.
Engine
This Big cat includes a naturally-aspirated inline-6 piston, 4L AJ6 engine with an output of 238 hp to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. The car has been recently fitted with a brand new battery and comes with the original owner's manual and paperwork.
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 2011 Jaguar XK Convertible represents a distinctive era of Jaguar grand touring, pairing elegant British styling with a naturally aspirated V8 and an open-top layout designed for long-distance cruising as much as spirited driving. This example is finished in Caviar over a Warm Charcoal interior with a Black convertible soft top, a combination complemented by Ivory contrast stitching and Burl Walnut veneer trim. It also features 20-inch “Kasuga” multi-spoke alloy wheels and Jaguar’s hood leaper ornament, giving the car an especially classic Jaguar presentation. Showing approximately 138,756 miles, this XK offers the traditional formula of a front-mounted V8, rear-wheel drive, and a luxurious two-door convertible body.
The 2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertible captures the elegant grand-touring character that made Jaguar’s XK series so distinctive at the turn of the millennium. Showing 52,123 miles, this example is finished in Topaz Metallic over an Oatmeal leather interior with a beige convertible soft top. Its specification blends classic British luxury with desirable period equipment, including burl walnut interior trim, the Alpine Premium Sound System, a Compact Disc Autochanger, Jaguar Integrated Navigation, and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels. With its long hood, flowing bodywork, and open-top configuration, this XK8 delivers the kind of understated presence that has aged especially well.
The 2002 Jaguar XKR 100 Convertible is a genuinely special version of Jaguar’s X100-generation grand tourer, created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of company founder Sir William Lyons. Limited to just 500 XKR 100 coupes and convertibles worldwide, it combined the already potent supercharged XKR platform with a distinctive package of performance, luxury, and appearance upgrades. This example is finished in the edition-exclusive Anthracite Metallic over Warm Charcoal leather and shows approximately 10,309 miles. With its 370-horsepower supercharged V8, 20-inch BBS Montreal wheels, Brembo brakes, Recaro seating, CATS suspension, factory navigation, and Alpine audio, it delivers the blend of rarity, elegance, and performance that makes the XKR 100 particularly appealing to Jaguar enthusiasts.
