Launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the legendary E-Type, Jaguar's XJ-S (later XJS) was an altogether more refined character. The excellence of its basic design was ably demonstrated by a 21-year production life. However, the original version could only cheat time for so long, and in 1991 parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury grand tourer at a cost of £50 million. The facelifted XJS could be had in Coupe or Convertible guises and was powered by either a punchy 4.0-litre straight-six or soporific 5.3-litre V12 engine. The former developed 223bhp and 283lb ft of torque and could ably power the newcomer to a refined and relaxing top speed of 140mph.

Finished in Sapphire Blue with Cream leather upholstery, this desirable facelift example was treated to a high quality repaint in January 2016 and a new Blue hood some two years later. The accompanying history file contains the Jaguar's original book pack and stamped service record as well as various invoices, receipts and photos. Last serviced during July 2018 and issued with a `no advisories' MOT certificate that same month, this handsome XJS 4.0 Convertible is understood to have covered some 90,000 miles from new (an average of 3,600 per annum).
