1989 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Convertible. Last Owner 14 Years Low Mileage Great Plate

Description

1989 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Automatic. Sapphire Blue metallic with Biscuit leather upholstery and navy electric hood. The Jaguar XJS occupied a special place in the company’s line-up throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, offering a more refined and long-legged grand touring experience than the earlier E-Type. By 1989 the model had reached a mature stage of development, benefiting from improved build quality, upgraded trim and the smooth, turbine-like delivery of Jaguar’s celebrated 5.3-litre V12 engine. The convertible variant, introduced to great acclaim, gave the XJS a renewed presence and has since become one of the most sought-after forms of the model. This 1989 example is finished in the distinguished Sapphire Blue metallic with Biscuit leather upholstery and a navy electric hood, a combination that suits the car’s understated elegance. It has covered just 75,000 miles, supported by documentary evidence including the Jaguar service book, historic MOT certificates and maintenance invoices. The car has seen minimal use in recent years, contributing to its well-preserved condition.
Around 13 years ago, the XJS underwent comprehensive body restoration work, documented in a photographic album that accompanies the car. The paintwork and panel fit present well as a result of this earlier refurbishment. Inside, the cabin retains its inviting original character, with the Biscuit leather showing careful use and the interior woodwork presenting cleanly.
A rare rear seat conversion with seat belts is fitted, providing useful occasional seating. This conversion can be removed if a return to the original two-seat layout is preferred.
Paperwork accompanying the car includes a substantial history file and Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club documentation, reflecting maintained engagement with marque support and knowledge. A fresh MOT will be issued prior to sale to provide further peace of mind.
Few cars evoke the same understated luxury as a well-presented XJS Convertible. The sound of the V12, the gentle settling of the suspension at speed, and the effortless pull of the long gear changes make this an experience rather than simply a drive. This example, in a coveted specification and supported by meaningful history, represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a truly elegant British grand tourer.
