British Grandeur – the 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
When Jaguar unveiled the XJS in the mid-1970s, the model faced no easy task: it was expected to follow in the legendary E-Type’s footsteps. Instead, Jaguar deliberately chose a different path. The XJS was not designed as an uncompromising sports car, but as a luxurious Gran Turismo for high cruising speeds, refined comfort and confident long-distance capability. Its striking lines, long bonnet and characteristic rear flying buttresses quickly made it an icon in its own right of British motoring culture.
The V12 models in particular embody the character of the XJS in its purest form. The silky-smooth twelve-cylinder engine combines effortless power delivery with the refined composure that has distinguished Jaguar’s top-of-the-range models for decades. As an open-top convertible, the XJS ultimately became one of the most elegant luxury convertibles of its era and is now enjoying increasing popularity among collectors of classic grand tourers.
The Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible offered here is a Swiss-registered vehicle originally delivered by Emil Frey and boasts an exceptionally comprehensive history. The classic combination of black paintwork and Magnolia leather interior underscores the elegant yet distinguished appearance of this British twelve-cylinder convertible. With 98,500 kilometres on the clock, the vehicle is in a well-maintained overall condition and has been regularly serviced and maintained over the years.
The registered Arden sports suspension is a particular rarity, as it is rarely found in this form. Together with the complete history and the documented service and repair work, this results in an exceptionally attractive overall package for enthusiasts of classic Jaguar models. As a luxurious convertible with a legendary V12 engine, this XJS embodies that relaxed form of British high culture on wheels that is hardly ever built anymore.
