1996 Jaguar

1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible

This 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is an exceptionally well-maintained example of British grand touring, offering timeless styling, low mileage, and extensive recent maintenance. With just 72,000 kilometers (approximately 44,739 miles), this classic Jaguar has been carefully preserved, consistently stored indoors, and never driven during the winter months. Its excellent overall condition, beautifully maintained interior, and strong mechanical performance make it an outstanding choice for an enthusiast seeking a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable classic convertible.

Exterior Condition & Paintwork

The exterior presents beautifully, with approximately $14,000 invested in professional paintwork following a vandalism incident involving scratches. The paintwork was completed to address cosmetic damage, not collision damage. The finish has subsequently been cut and polished, resulting in a smooth, attractive appearance that complements the Jaguar's distinctive body lines.

The body is exceptionally straight and completely rust-free, reflecting years of careful ownership and indoor storage. The wheels are in like-new condition, and the tires show virtually no wear. The only noted exterior imperfection is a small blemish on the corner of the rear bumper where a portion of the clear coat has lifted.

Interior & Convertible Top

The interior is in excellent condition, with the refined styling and comfort that have made the XJS a desirable British grand touring automobile. The cabin has been exceptionally well preserved, maintaining an attractive overall presentation that matches the vehicle's low mileage and carefully maintained exterior.

The convertible top is also in excellent condition, adding to the vehicle's appeal as an open-air touring car. Whether enjoying a weekend cruise or attending a classic car gathering, this Jaguar provides a comfortable and distinctive driving experience.
