1989 Jaguar XJS Convertible 5,3L V12

Highlights

  • Only 42,573 warranted miles from new! (68,500 km)
  • Original CFC Signal Red paintwork
  • Clean CARFAX with a damage-free history
  • Matching numbers V12 engine producing 291 HP
  • Already imported into the Netherlands with VAT and import duties fully paid

The Appeal

Succeeding the E-Type as Jaguar's premier grand touring coupé, the XJ-S looked markedly different from its predecessor, despite initial designs originating for the same hand - Jaguar's legendary aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer. For those seeking the ultimate version for cross-continental cruising, the V12 was the one to have, and what better way to experience beautiful vistas than from an open-topped car?

That's why we think this convertible, V12 XJ-S from 1989, may well be the ultimate incarnation of this superb GT. This Jag displays just 42,573 miles on the odometer, and this may well be an accurate figure since the vendor assures us that the car retains its factory CFC Signal Red paintwork.

It comes with a clean CARFAX report and the option to register it with a Dutch license plate having been imported with all VAT/duties paid.
