1996 Jaguar XJS Celebration
***NO RESERVE***Same owner for over two decades, one of 1,000 end-of-production cars to mark the 20th anniversary
Registration - N114 GCA
Chassis No. - SAJJNAFD3EJ225222
M.O.T. - March 2025
Odometer - 96,501
This desirable 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is a collectable Celebration model, built to mark 60 years of Jaguar sports cars. Finished in classic British Racing Green metallic, it has an electric folding soft-top with glass rear screen that includes heating elements. Being a later XJS, ‘N114 GCA’ has the more modern interior, with stylish round instruments and modern climate control heating. The cream leather is complemented by swathes of rich walnut wood trim. The odometer reads around 96,500 miles and this UK-registered Jaguar has an MOT until March 2025. The vendor describes its condition as ‘good’ throughout. Enthusiasts should also celebrate its revised 4.0-litre AJ16 straight-six engine, which produced nearly 240bhp for effortless performance and a 147mph top speed. It has a set of matching premium Pirelli P6000 tyres, to effortlessly put this power to the ground.
The Jaguar XJ-S was introduced in 1975 as a modern, avant-garde replacement for the iconic Jaguar E-type. It was based on the able Jaguar XJ saloon, and offered in coupe, targa and convertible bodystyles. There were three iterations, and this car is the final version, introduced in 1991. The hyphen was removed from the name, so it became Jaguar XJS. It was expertly restyled by Jaguar designer Geoff Lawson both outside and in, blending modernity with classic lines – it proved surprisingly popular too, with almost 27,500 cars being built between 1991 and 1996.
In summary:
- Collectable Jaguar XJS Celebration
- Convertible model includes a plush electric roof
- Fitted with the desirable 4.0-litre straight-six engine
