Offered at No Reserve, this 1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible is part of one man’s extensive collection. Finished in white with a cream leather interior, this Series II Convertible has the 5.3-litre V12 engine, paired with an automatic gearbox. The vendor says it was fully restored in 2006, at a cost of £8,600, which included a full respray and extensive Waxoyl protection. It was then recommissioned once again in 2018, at a cost of over £4,000. The vendor says that ‘F703XJK’, which was registered in January 1989, comes with a partial service history. Its MOT expired in August 2021.

‘F703CJK’ is described as being in ‘average’ condition overall, and comes with the V5. It has the rare twin rear seat conversion, which reportedly cost around £2,000, boosting the practicality of this open-top Jaguar XJ-S.

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 groundbreaking Jaguar XJ saloon, and offered in coupe, targa and convertible bodystyles. There were three iterations, the second-generation model launched as the HE in 1981, with a ‘high efficiency’ V12. The Jaguar XJ6 straight-six engine was added in 1983. These thoroughly enhanced models ran until 1991, when the third iteration evolved things again – it was known simply as XJS.

In summary:

• 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible offered at No Reserve
• Part of one man’s extensive classic car collection
• Restored in 2006 and recommissioned again in 2018
