Description from the seller
Jaguar XJS 4.0 Convertible – 1995
The Jaguar XJS belongs to the most recognizable British Grand Tourers of the second half of the twentieth century. The model was introduced in 1975 as the successor to the legendary E-Type and, after various technical and stylistic evolutions, remained in production for no fewer than 21 years. While the E-Type was primarily positioned as a sports car, Jaguar with the XJS explicitly chose the concept of a luxurious Grand Tourer: comfortable, powerful, and developed to cover long distances at high speed.
In 1991 the XJS received a substantial facelift. The later cars are recognizable by, among other things, the modified body details, more modern bumpers and lighting, and a further refined interior. The final years of production are nowadays particularly valued, partly because Jaguar had continued to make improvements to the model for almost two decades.
This example is a Jaguar XJS Convertible from 1995, finished in SDN Topaz Metallic with a light Connolly leather interior and a black electrically operated convertible roof. Under the long hood lies the 4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve six-in-line gasoline engine with a power output of 238 hp, paired with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
It is a matching-numbers specimen with only 84,491 miles on the odometer. The included CLEAN CARFAX lists 11 recorded maintenance events.
The Jaguar is furthermore richly equipped. At new, the car carried a factory options value of $6,250, including the special diamond-turned 16-inch alloy wheels, distinctive color and leather combinations, metallic paint, preparation for an integrated Jaguar car telephone, and an extensive audio/CD configuration.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The body of this Jaguar XJS presents itself well kept and particularly elegant in the original color SDN Topaz Metallic. The champagne/gold-colored metallic paint complements the classic lines of the XJS and forms a beautiful combination with the light interior and the black convertible roof.
The body has clean, straight lines and the doors, hood, and trunk lid close properly. The paint has good gloss and presents itself well throughout. Given the age of the car there are locally minimal signs of use and aging that do not detract from the overall picture.
The characteristic chrome trim around the bumpers, headlights, taillights, windshield, and body presents itself neatly and forms a handsome contrast with the Topaz Metallic paint. The Jaguar and XJS emblems are also present. The windows and windshield present themselves well. The window seals and other seals are present and show a well-maintained impression for the age.
The electrically operated convertible roof is finished in black and equipped with a glass rear window. The roof presents itself in good condition and fits neatly to the body. The matching light-toned cover for the folded-down convertible roof is also present.
The car sits on the special original 16 x 7 inch five-spoke Jaguar alloy wheels with diamond-turned finish. These were part of the upscale factory specification of this example.
TECHNICAL:
This XJS is powered by Jaguar’s 4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve six-in-line engine with electronic fuel injection. The engine displacement is 3,980 cc and it delivers 238 hp. This is the matching-numbers engine that accompanies the car.
The engine is paired with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, equipped with Normal and Sport shift programs. Drive is to the rear wheels.
The XJS features independent suspension on all corners. The front uses double wishbones, coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar. At the rear, the Jaguar also has fully independent suspension with double springs and telescopic dampers.
The braking system consists of four power-assisted ventilated disc brakes and includes ABS. The car also features speed-sensitive power steering.
The tires and brakes are in good condition. The engine bay presents a tidy and original impression. The six-in-line engine’s covers, original air intake, reservoirs, hoses, and various original labels are present.
The car has demonstrably been maintained at various times during its American life. In addition to the work registered on CARFAX, the Jaguar has been maintained by a enthusiast/collector in-house between 2007 and 2022.
INTERIOR:
The interior is finished in light Connolly leather, combined with extensive rootwood on the dashboard, the center console, and the door panels. This classic combination complements the Topaz Metallic body color particularly nicely.
The XJS features the distinctive 2+2 configuration, with two electrically adjustable front seats and two rear seats.
The front seats feature 12-way electric adjustment including electric lumbar support. The leather presents itself well for its age. Notably on the driver's seat cushion there is light cracking, matching the original leather of its age. The passenger seat and rear bench present themselves as well-kept.
The rootwood is extensively present on the dashboard, center console, and door panels and gives the interior the typical luxurious Jaguar look from this period.
Equipment includes, among others:
- Connolly leather interior
- 12-way electric front seats with electric lumbar support
- Automatic climate control
- Premium audio system
- Preparation for an integrated Jaguar car telephone
- CD changer/CD preparation in the luggage area
- Height-adjustable four-way steering wheel
- Analog Jaguar clock
- Illuminated sun visors with map lights
- Leather gear knob
- Electric windows
- 2+2 seating configuration
- Driver and passenger airbags
The carpeting and mats are in a matching beige/taupe tone and present themselves well. The door panels are also neat and outfitted with the original leather, wood, and chrome work.
The luggage compartment is lined with dark carpeting and presents itself neatly. The full-size spare wheel is located under the original covered lining. In the luggage area is also the CD changer/audio installation.
DOCUMENTS:
The Jaguar is supplied with the American title and European import documentation. All applicable European import duties and VAT have already been paid.
In addition, the car is supplied with the original window sticker, showing the factory equipment and specifications of the car.
The Jaguar is also provided with an extensive CARFAX Vehicle History Report. This report confirms for VIN SAJNX2740SC198331 that no accidents or damage have been reported, that there is no total loss or structural damage registered, and that there is no indication of an odometer rollback.
