1991 Jaguar XJS

This Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible is an elegant and well-appointed open-top grand tourer. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. This example was originally delivered to the UK, supplied new to a Mr Stuart from Reigate, Surrey on 19 October 1991 by Paladin Jaguar. The car was looked after by Paladin until 1996 when the maintenance was taken over by J W Rawlinson who completed 13 services. It was acquired by the second owner in 2018 only due to loss of indoor storage. The third owner imported the Jaguar into Australia around 18 months ago, and it is now offered for sale after some slight mechanical and restorative work. The odometer shows approximately 67,000 miles. Build year: 1991 The car is finished in Light Blue with a dark blue soft top over a beige leather-trimmed cabin featuring burr walnut inlays. It rides on a set of 15-inch ‘Lattice’ alloy wheels, fitted with Pirelli P600 tyres. Equipment includes cruise control, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with two-position driver’s memory, electric windows, front fog lamps, headlight washers, heating and ventilation controls, and a Jaguar radio-cassette player. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack and service book. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: slight ‘wear and tear’ within the cabin. There is a valid NSW registration in place, which expires on 18 October 2025. The car was last serviced in October 2023 at 65,000 miles. The seller states that the supplied service book contains a total of 21 stamps. This Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible is an attractively styled British grand tourer, finished in a tasteful colour combination. It would make a natural addition to a wider assembly of modern classics as well as a stylish and comfortable fair-weather cruising companion, particularly with the roof lowered. In the seller’s own words: “This is a well-presented and maintained XJ-S with low mileage and a superb service history. On the button and ready to use, it really is a true pleasure to drive”.
