1991 Jaguar XJS V12

Description

This 1991 Jaguar XJS convertible mixes classic British style and V12 power with the right maintenance and upgrades all-around. The result is that iconic look you love and all the right features to keep you pampered in the proper Jaguar fashion.

The attractiveness is apparent and instant the moment you lay eyes on it. The body shows quality care in the crisp sheetmetal. This highlights the timeless style of the XJS convertible. It has a sleek design that goes with the company's cat-like reputation... but it also never loses the elegant poise of a good European upper class cruiser. So while the car's Brooklands Green paint might be called British Racing Green by some, the deep luster proves it's really just ready for a night on the town. You'll love all the subtle details, like how the V12 emblem in the low grille reflects off the mirror-like bumper, and the intricate pattern of the lattice alloy wheels are the perfect representation of a premium performance machine.

Like the best upper-class convertibles, the tan pinstripe on the outside is a preview of the full tan leather interior. This has all the best features you expect from a Jaguar, including cruise control, power locks, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo (code needed). A later version of the XJS means you get an airbag in the steering wheel, and it's on a tilt column to make sure you get a clear view of the crisp full gauge package. Power windows and a power convertible top mean you don't even have to leave the driver's seat if you want to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your hair experience. And with cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, you can enjoy top-down motoring even in the summer.

The 5.3-liter V12 engine provides the kind of effortless performance that you'd expect from Coventry's biggest cat. This fuel-injected powerhouse has a smooth and torquey feeling that makes it effortlessly luxurious around town. But when it's time to have a little fun, it makes a wonderful howl and pulls like a freight train. The automatic transmission is the familiar TH400 sourced from GM, so you know it has the robustness to handle the V12's power with ease. But this is more than just a good powertrain. The XJS runs on a fully independent suspension that has been built to balance luxury cruising with spirited driving. This is reinforced by power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and wide Cooper Cobra tires with excellent tread.

Complete with the owner's manual, this is the sleek and classic drop-top with all the right vintage features and upgrades. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!
