Description
The Jaguar XJS Convertible was a luxury grand tourer produced by Jaguar from 1988 to 1996, and later continued until 1996 as the XJS in convertible form. It succeeded the legendary E-Type and represented Jaguar's move toward a more modern, luxurious GT car.
Stylistically, the XJS Convertible showcased a sophisticated and elegant design. While it departed from the E-Type's classic sports car appearance, it offered a sleek, long-hooded profile with smooth lines and a refined silhouette. The convertible top added to its allure, allowing for open-air driving experiences.
Under the hood, the XJS Convertible initially featured a range of engines, including a 5.3-liter V12 and later a 6.0-liter V12, providing powerful performance suitable for grand touring. While the focus was more on luxury and comfort than outright sports car performance, the XJS Convertible offered a refined and smooth ride with ample power and torque.
The interior of the XJS Convertible was luxurious, featuring high-quality materials, plush leather upholstery, and sophisticated wood trim. It offered a spacious cabin with comfortable seating for four occupants, making it an ideal car for long-distance cruising.
The convertible top mechanism was power-operated, allowing for convenient operation to raise or lower the top at the touch of a button, adding to the car's convenience and appeal.
Throughout its production run, the XJS Convertible underwent various updates and improvements, including enhancements in performance, features, and technology, catering to the evolving luxury GT market.
Despite some initial criticisms regarding its departure from the E-Type's sporty heritage, the Jaguar XJS Convertible earned its place as a luxury GT car, appreciated for its refinement, comfort, and graceful design. It remains a beloved classic among enthusiasts and collectors.

Pricing
At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.
As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
