Arguably better looking than the Coupe that spawned it, the Jaguar XJ-S Convertible proved a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. A highly capable grand tourer, it still impresses today as a stylish and luxurious mile muncher.
Finished in the alluring combination of Glacier White with Isis Blue leather upholstery, Grey carpets and a Navy Blue mohair hood, this particular example was first registered as ‘KAY 557E’ on 24th June 1988. Showing just five former keepers on HPi, the Jaguar is warranted to have covered a mere 34, 000 or so miles from new. A figure supported by the accompanying paperwork which pleasingly includes much of the XJ-S’s original documentation. Registered as ‘E748 ERR’ for the past twenty-eight years, the two-seater is considered by the vendor to be in ‘very good overall’ condition. Rating the paintwork as ‘notably good for its age’, he believes the Convertible to be ‘solid everywhere you look with excellent lines and door gaps’. Entered from a private collection, the Jaguar is understood to have been sparingly used covering ‘a few hundred miles a year at summer weekends and shows’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT valid until August 2025.
