1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible

In 1976, Jaguar’s lineage saw a significant shift with the retirement of the iconic E-type and the introduction of the new XJS Coupe. This marked a pivotal moment in Jaguar’s evolution, transitioning from the E-type’s legacy to the luxurious realm of the XJS. The XJS brought forth a new era of grand touring comfort and sophistication, blending Jaguar’s signature DNA with modern luxury elements.

The XJS Coupe excelled in combining comfort with effortless cruising capabilities, captivating enthusiasts with its sleek design featuring aggressive lines. Despite carrying a hefty price tag, the XJS maintained steady sales over the years, a testament to its allure and performance-driven mechanics.

Fast forward to May 1991 when the third iteration of the XJS was unveiled, embodying significant reliability improvements and aesthetic enhancements. Under Ford’s ownership, the XJS received a boost with a larger 6.0L V12 engine producing 304 HP, delivering a refined and virtually silent driving experience. Notable upgrades included repositioned brakes for efficiency, an updated 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and the incorporation of ABS.

By 1992, the XJS stood as a premier luxury cruiser commanding prices exceeding $80,000, yet proving to be a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts. With a production span of over two decades yielding more than 100,000 units, the XJS garnered a loyal following of dedicated owners who meticulously maintained their prized possessions.

Among these well-cared-for treasures is this 1992 Jaguar XJS Series III 12 Cylinder Convertible. This exceptional vehicle boasts excellent driver quality, featuring standard amenities such as leather seats, AM/FM Cassette (updated with original included), A/C, driver airbag, power brakes, steering, windows, and tilt steering. The car’s original paint, interior, and top have been impeccably preserved, with minor corrosion on the wheels being the only noticeable cosmetic issue.

Under the current owner’s stewardship, the car has received meticulous care, including brake and tire replacements, A/C compressor servicing, and regular maintenance. Extensive records detailing all upkeep accompany the sale, showcasing the car’s history of attentive maintenance.

Presently located in southeastern Connecticut, this XJS awaits a new owner to appreciate and cherish it as much as its former custodians.
