Description from the seller
Jaguar XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible. Offered with an exceptionally low mileage of only 62,169.
The Jaguar XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible is a true icon among car enthusiasts. This specific model was produced by Hess & Eisenhardt, an American coachbuilder specializing in converting coupés into convertibles. The result was an exclusive, handcrafted cabriolet based on the legendary Jaguar XJS, under the supervision and license of Jaguar itself. What makes this car even more special is its extremely low production number. Only about 2,000 units of the XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible were ever made, allowing each owner to take pride in possessing a rare gem.
This Jaguar XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible is dressed in a beautiful NDK Glacier White paint, giving it a stylish impression on the road. With its flowing lines, timeless design, and impeccable finish, this car exudes pure class wherever you go. The paint is in good condition and has only minor signs of use that do not detract from the overall appearance of this beautiful vehicle.
Under the hood lies a powerful 5.3-liter V12 engine with matching numbers, providing a smooth and powerful driving experience. With its impressive power and seamless acceleration, the Jaguar XJS effortlessly takes you to breathtaking speeds, while you enjoy the unique (and quiet) sound of the engine.
Whether it's summer or winter, you can always enjoy open driving pleasure with the neat softtop of this Jaguar XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible. This softtop provides protection against the elements and adds even more versatility to this already impressive car.
In addition to its unique design and performance, this Jaguar XJS 'Hess & Eisenhardt' Convertible comes with the original booklet and a CLEAN CARFAX document showing that the car was originally delivered in the USA.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
