Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full Convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

Supplied new by Jaguar of Liverpool, this attractive XJ-S V12 Convertible is finished in White with a complementing Black leather interior with a Black hood. Today, the Convertible displays just 46,050 recorded miles and was a one owner car from 1988 to 2021, the current vendor is only its second keeper. ‘F602 LMW’ was supplied with cruise control, air conditioning, automatic transmission, fog lamps, electric windows and mirrors, heated seats and a removable Jaguar radio cassette player, de rigueur in 1988. The inside is well presented with its cossetting sea of Connolly handmade stitched leather and burr walnut wood, it even possesses the original carpet branded Jaguar mats. The Jaguar has the well-known V12 engine attached to a 4-speed automatic. A neat tonneau is present along with the tool kit and original jack. Offered with owner’s wallet, handbooks and the service book and a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.
