Vehicle Description
Sleek and sporty on the outside, absolutely luxurious on the
inside, and a fuel-injected V12 under the hood to make sure you
never go wanting for power. This 1990 Jaguar XJS Rouge edition
delivers everything you want, and does it for a value price.
The first impression this one shows off its classic elegance. After
all, the long hood, low-slung body, and flying buttress rear are
part of the classic European grand touring experience. The bodywork
looks nice, and everything is well-respected, right down to V12
badge in the shining grille. The red a paint is a dead giveaway to
the special Rouge edition cars. They were only offered for about a
year, and it gives this sleek cat an instant sporty appeal. Plus,
there's a gold pinstripe that coordinates with the gold badging for
an upper-class look. Another great way this one shows both its
style and sporty sides is with the wheels. The intricate pattern of
the lattice alloys is pure elegance, and the added red accents to
match the body to add the right hint of performance.
The tan leather interior has a timelessly tasteful appearance
against the exterior red. Just to make sure you know that, there's
also a terrific-looking red piping on the seats of this special
edition coupe. This has gone far fewer miles than most other cars
of this vintage, and so in total, the interior shows plenty of good
preservation. You also have the best in luxury features, like
premium wood veneer, power windows, cruise control, electric rear
defogger, cup holders, power steering, the factory AM/FM/cassette
stereo, and provisions for R134a air conditioning (likely just
needs a recharge to be fully cold again.) As a true grand touring
machine, the font seats power adjust to the ideal position, and
they are even heated. When you slip behind the wheel, you get big
gauges and the gear shift feels substantial in your hand - just
like a good driver's car should.
The engine bay has the look of true substance. The 5.3-liter V12
engine is what puts the "Grand" in grand touring. It's a
fuel-injected powerhouse that has the torque to effortlessly pull
away from stoplights, run smooth on the highway, and have serious
power in reserve for when it's time to have a little fun. It looks
like a well-maintained setup, and the consignor believes it's
original to the car. 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. Jaguar has developed one of the best
suspension around, including the fully independent rear end with
race-inspired inboard disc brakes. It give the coupe both a sharp
and supple ride that makes the XJS a favorite with those who drive
their classics.
Rarity, style, luxury, and power all come together in a
terrifically priced package. So you know you don't want to miss
this deal. Call now!
