1990 Jaguar XJ-S Classic Collection V12 Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced in 1975 as the successor to the E-Type, the Jaguar XJ-S matured over its long production run into a refined and luxurious grand tourer, blending distinctive British styling with smooth V12 performance. By 1990, the model benefited from continuous development, offering improved comfort, reliability, and drivability, while the limited-production Classic Collection edition added special trim and enhanced features to commemorate the model’s legacy, showcasing effortless power delivery, a composed ride, and a richly appointed interior.

This 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Classic Collection V12 Convertible was refinished in its current two-tone black and silver exterior featuring leapers on the hood over a Doeskin leather cabin with a black power-operated soft top. The interior features classic Jaguar craftsmanship with wood trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a full complement of analog gauges.

Equipment includes heated power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an AM/FM stereo system. Riding on silver-finished 15-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels and equipped with a limited-slip differential, this XJ-S offers both comfort and grand touring capability.

Showing approximately 75,500 miles, 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Classic Collection V12 Convertible is now offered at no reserve with accessories, factory literature, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Washington State title in the seller’s name.

Servicing

From the seller: “The car has always been garage-kept and never driven in the rain, and it’s clearly been well cared for throughout its life. It appears to remain largely original, though items like the tires, paint, and possibly the top have been replaced, with no formal records available. While there are a few very minor cosmetic imperfections typical of age, nothing detracts from the overall presentation. It runs and presents well but would benefit from a professional detail to bring it to the next level.”

Ownership History

The CARFAX Vehicle History Report begins in 1995 and shows registration history in California and Washington.

From the seller: "Due to a loss in the family came a big move, and in that move no receipts or documents were recovered. When the car was stolen it was found just a few miles away unharmed. The custom paint over the original black was an expensive one. The vehicle shows no signs of rust and seems to be a fine example."
