1989 Jaguar XJS Convertible V12 Guy Salmon Jubilee Edition
Highlights
- Rare modified XJS Cabriolet
- Only 3 owners from new
- 5.3L Jaguar HE V12
- A genuine documented low mileage example
THE APPEAL
This aesthetically modified and entirely charming V12 XJS Jaguar is one of very few Jubilee models, commissioned by leading Jaguar dealer Guy Salmon to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a bespoke Jaguar dealership. The beloved XJS HE was subtly and tastefully modified with unique styling additions, with a choice of various factory options offered to allow each customer to create a Jubilee of their own inclinations.
Styling enhancements include, twin headlight conversion, a unique front grille, a rear spoiler, and additional chrome work. In addition, a choice of paint options included the two-tone and custom red and silver coach line design you see featured here.
Offered to the public in very low numbers this exclusive grand tourer was created to offer both existing XJS customers and those clients who favoured its competition, a unique, individual and rare version of a highly adored and prestigious car. Building on the car's impressive reputation Guy Salmon wanted to not only celebrate its journey as a dealership but to allow its all-important clientele the opportunity to own a forever sought-after car.
To add further appeal, this XJS features a stunning 5.3L V12 engine, the most powerful engine available at the time. The combination of brutish power and Jaguar elegance results in an attractive classic, which thanks to its Jubilee modifications make it one of few and a great addition to any classic.
