The Jaguar XJS Convertible, which first appeared in 1988, was considerably more than just a coupe with the roof removed. The earlier 'T'-top cabriolet paved the way as the first open Jaguar since the demise of the E-Type in 1975 but this was to be the first full convertible and a strengthened sub-frame was employed to alleviate scuttle shake. Retaining the roomy cockpit space of the coupe, the new convertible naturally boasted all the expected Jaguar refinements as standard making for a very fine, open grand touring car. The XJS's superlative 5.3 litre engine developed some 295bhp in later fuel injected form and, when allied to automatic transmission, gave authoritative 150mph performance. Today, this model is very much establishing itself as a most worthy latter day classic; good examples being eagerly sought by connoisseurs of the marque.
First registered on 19th January 1993 in Hong Kong, this Jaguar was purchased by the vendor in Hong Kong in 2016. He had the car shipped to KWE Ltd for a significant amount of work. This included refreshing the paintwork in Regency Red, KWE S1 suspension, brakes and steering renewal or upgrade, as well as a KWE V12 intensive engine service. The automatic transmission was rebuilt, as was the differential. The electrics were largely renewed, as were the fuel system, air conditioning, hood, carpets leather seats and the wood was restored. A stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted. The vendor has spent over £83,000 on this delightful XJS Convertible to ensure it presents in the best way possible as well as being reliable mechanically. This is a fabulous Jaguar that appears to be realistically estimated given the condition and level of expenditure. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
