Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Convertible, 1991. Six owners, 96,130 km,
service books from new.
The Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible is no ordinary classic, it is a
masterpiece that embodies the grandeur of British motoring history.
In 1975, Jaguar introduced the XJS as the successor to the
legendary E-Type, a daunting task, for its shadow loomed long. And
yet the XJS carved out its own place in the automotive world,
thanks to its elegant, elongated lines, refined engineering and
regal presence.
The V12 variant, like this 1991 example, represents the very summit
of Jaguar's luxury and power. Beneath the bonnet lies a 5.3-litre
V12 engine, a symphony of smoothness and suppleness. In its day,
this engine was a technical marvel: whisper-quiet, yet with an
inexhaustible reserve of torque. The XJS was built in Coventry,
hand-assembled by craftsmen who took pride in every detail, a
tradition you can still feel today the moment you step into this
car.
This particular example, delivered in Belgium on 19 November 1991,
is an exceptionally well-preserved piece of British history. With
just 96,130 kilometres on the clock, a near-fully original coat of
paint in the stylish shade of Westminster Blue, and the original
beige interior in absolutely pristine condition, this XJS breathes
authenticity. The original booklets are present, and the history
has been carefully documented, a rarity in the world of classic
Jaguars.
The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as
well. 87 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. The
Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. A timeline
from 18 November 1991 to today, with every owner and the mileage
year by year in a single graph.
