Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 convertible
Our Jaguar XJS is a 1988 5.3 litre V12 pre-facelift convertible in light metallic blue with dark blue leather interior with walnut fittings and automatic gearbox, power steering and electric hood. This makes it one of the first full XJS convertibles (it is from the first year of production) and the most powerful version available. It has covered just 60,000 miles in 19 years - only 20,000 in the last 13 years - and is immaculate.
It is completely standard with the exception of a rear seat conversion by TWR (including seatbelts) and installation of a high quality CD multi-changer unit. Standard features include burr walnut fittings, air conditioning, power hood, electric windows, cruise control, 3 speed automatic gearbox, trip computer and heated leather seats with electrically operated lumber support.
