Vehicle Description
This 1989 Jaguar XJS convertible mixes classic British style and
V12 power with the right maintenance and upgrades all-around. The
result is that iconic look you love and all the right features to
keep you papered in the proper Jaguar fashion.
The attractiveness is apparent and instant the moment you lay eyes
on it. The timeless style of the XJS convertible has a sleek design
that goes with the company's cat-like reputation, but it never
loses the elegant poise of a good European upper class cruiser. The
creamy white paint is a timeless hue, and when combined with the
dark brown top, it really gives this one the color combo of a
traditional English cottage. You'll love all the subtle details,
like how the V12 emblem in the low grille reflects off the
mirror-like bumper, and the intricate pattern of the lattice alloy
wheels that are the perfect representation of a premium performance
machine.
Like the best upper-class convertibles, the tan pinstripe on the
outside is a preview of the full tan leather interior. This has all
the best features you expect from a Jaguar, including a tilt
steering column, cruise control, power locks, and power front seats
so you and your passenger can find the ideal comfort position. The
steering wheel is a grippy upgraded Momo unit, and it offers a nice
view of the crisp full gauge package. The stereo has been upgraded
to a modern AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth, so you can utilize modern
music player in this vintage Jag. Power windows and a power
convertible top mean you don't even have to leave the driver's seat
if you want to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your hair
experience. Not only has the air conditioner been upgraded to
modern R134a, but also you have heated seats. So you can enjoy
top-down motoring no matter if it's a crisp fall evening or noon in
the summertime.
The 5.3-liter V12 engine provides the kind of effortless
performance that you'd expect from Coventry's biggest cat. This
fuel-injected powerhouse has a smooth and torquey feeling that
makes it effortlessly luxurious around town. But when it's time to
have a little fun, it makes a wonderful howl and pulls like a
freight train. The automatic transmission is the familiar TH400
sourced from GM, so you know it has the robustness to handle the
V12's power with ease. But this is more than just a good
powertrain. The XJS runs on a fully independent suspension that has
been built to balance luxury cruising with spirited driving. This
is reinforced by power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and
wide BF Goodrich tires.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals,
and maintenance records. It's the sleek and classic droptop with
all the right vintage features and upgrades. So at a price like
this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call
