For Sale: 1995 Jaguar XJS in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible

In 1922, a gentleman named William Lyons founded the Swallow Sidecar Company. A few years later, he built his first car, the SS1. Then in 1935, he introduced a breakthrough, the SS Jaguar, and a star was born. His company quickly became famous with the Jaguar line, which were both visually stunning and technically ground breaking. The C-type, D-Type and E-type models paved the way for the current models. The rest, as they say, is history.

For consignment, a 1995 Jaguar XJS convertible showing 31,592 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This well maintained Jag has the straight six engine and will come to you with a certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust.

Exterior
Bathed in two stage Jaguar Black, this car's exterior paint presents very nicely. This car's chromed topped bumper in the front underscores the desirable European composite headlights above which flank a thin grille and long hood with silver Leaper badge up front. Polished trim surrounds all the windshield and passenger compartment and some extra black and chrome trim wraps around from the bumpers at the belt line. Our black canvas convertible top and its glass window are in good shape, followed by a long flat deck lid that balances the car's proportion and terminates at the elegant smoked tail lights. 16-inch aluminum wheels with curb rash and clear coat delamination are on all 4 corners and other imperfections include numerous chin scrapes.

Interior
Black leather abounds with true actual walnut burl to create a luxurious environment fit for a discriminating driver, and the contrast of the materials and color is fit for a king. Nicely padded seats, with the deluxe interior package on board, with a touch of use patina on the driver's seat while the back 2 plus 2 remains in great shape. A beauty of a central console with some of that walnut burl inset around the shifter which also shows cruise controls, window and roof toggles and dual ash receptacles. As the center console rises to the dash, a factory radio with cassette is mounted neatly within, along with climate controls, running lights, defogger and exterior lighting. The shiny inset walnut for the gauge cluster is excellent and shows very clean black faced gauges with white numbers and letters and white pointers. Door panels show in black vinyl with more walnut burl trimmings and power seat adjustments, storage pulls and a chromed bezels speaker within a field of black colored carpet. The floors, including that of the trunk, are covered with dark charcoal colored Wilton carpeting that sports Jaguar branded floor mats to keep staining and dirt to a minimum.

Drivetrain
A pop of the long bonnet and it reveals a very clean and well kept engine bay. Within its confines is a shiny, no corrosion 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine. It is fed by electronic fuel injection and has a 4-speed automatic, (ZF4HP24E), original overdrive transmission with a rear axle of 3.54 gearing.

Undercarriage
Rust free, (other than some typical surface rust), and well kept much like a favorite toy which was played with the neatly tucked away until the next play date arrives. Power disc brakes are on all 4 corners as is independent coil sprung suspension and a 3.54 differential is on back. Don't spit out your tea when you hear this, but there are no oil leaks detected!

Drive-Ability
With my hankering for anything British, we hopped behind the wheel, fired this car up and drove off to the test loop. Great acceleration, wonderful handling with its recent steering adjustment, straight braking when pressed hard, and a smooth cruiser. The A/C blew ice cold, and all power accessories were functional. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

The second to last year of production of the XJS and they really have gotten it all correct. Design, which is sporty, yet luxurious, nice efficient power, and a truly high end interior with the leather and burl. When you're finished with your afternoon tea and crumpets, do give us a ring, ol' chap!
