This XJS is structurally rust-free, which is crucial when investing in a vintage convertible. The body and chassis remain in excellent condition, allowing the next owner to focus on enjoying the drive rather than worrying about corrosion issues. The chrome factory accents and elegant styling remain intact, making this Jaguar a true head-turner wherever it goes.
While the car is in excellent shape, a few minor imperfections should be noted. The air conditioning is non-functional, and the right turn signal does not return automatically. Still, these do not affect drivability and can be addressed at the new owner’s discretion. These minor quirks aside, this XJS remains a fantastic investment for any collector or enthusiast.
Jaguar’s XJS was designed to be a luxurious grand tourer, and this example continues to embody that legacy. Whether cruising along the coast with the top down or gliding through the city streets, this classic Jaguar offers an unmatched driving experience that modern cars struggle to replicate.
