1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for the 1988 model year, the Jaguar XJ-S Convertible combined the marque's smooth V12 power with open-air grand touring capability. Developed from the long-running XJ-S platform, the convertible retained the model's distinctive styling, refined ride quality, and effortless highway performance while adding the appeal of a fully retractable soft top. 

Acquired by the seller in 2024, this 1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a Powr-Lok limited-slip differential. Finished in Glacier White over Beige leather upholstery, the car is equipped with power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, 15-inch wire-spoke alloy wheels, and a black soft top. The seller reports that the car's convertible top, battery, tires, and spare tire have been replaced.

This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer's literature, removed factory radio, spare tire, boot cover, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean West Virginia title in the seller's name.
