Description:
1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible The XJS had a 21 year run from 1975 to 1996 with a few iterationsbut all with the unmistakable XJS shape. From the breathtakingflying buttresses of the coupe to the flat lined profile of theconvertible, they are distinct and beautiful and not many peoplewill debate that. Amazingly, over that 21 year period, only 115,413units were produced, an average of less than 6,000 per year. Bynormal, large manufacturing numbers, that's a drop in the bucket,making owners among an elite and rare club. Offered for consignment, this 1990 XJS with 68,975 title verifiedactual miles. It's had a recent tune up, newer paint andupholstery, a rebuilt at 55,171 miles transmission, and a list ofnew items that will provide some confidence to the next owner thatthis car has been well-maintained and updated. It's a ClassicCollection edition which includes such things as a boot lid badge,contrasting piping on the seats, a larger leather wrapped shifter,Birds Eye Elm wood trim, and a number of other items. It isbelieved less than 500 Classic Collection editions were produced in1990. ExteriorBathed in a June 2020 respray of Signal Red, the key to this car'sdesign is a sleek body style with a trim body, yet a muscularstance which is often seen on expensive European cars that arecapable of high speeds. Within this thin body style are straightpanels and good gaps as well as a set of dual headlamps upfront,bordered on the bottom by an integrated chrome bumper with a black5 MPH crash bumper inserted. This holds true on the rear of the cartoo, and the chrome is excellently preserved. Around the cornerdesign tail/turn signal rear lights frame the rear panel and trunkrear deck, incredibly unique and distinctive and in two years theywould be completely redesigned. Aluminum 15-inch lace honeycombwheels are all around. Flying up high is a black canvas powerconvertible top with a glass rear window that operates flawlessly.Some slight fading on the canvas top was noted but that's theentire list of flaws on the entirety of the exterior. Our consignornotes that the power antenna motor and relay were recentlyreplaced. InteriorA swing of the doors reveals Biscuit colored leather on the doorpanels. There is a veneer strip near the upper sill of each door,yes real wood, and it looks fantastic. Other areas of the dash thathave veneer are intact and nicely preserved and mix well with thelight leather. The front bucket seats are in glorious shape as theywere redone in Biscuitleather that features red piping around theedges and headrest. The sporty seats also feature tuck and rollinserts. A padded, leatherbound and burl center console racesbetween the seats and hoses rocker switches for the power windows,roof, and cruise control. The shifter resides here as well alongwith chrome ash receptacles and on the sides of the console are theswitches for the front seat heaters. In the center stack, anAM/FM/CD radio with Bluetooth capability has been installed. Asmall, carpeted luggage compartment is behind the seats and allowsyou to share some space with the folded top when in the downposition. The dash looks clean, and toggles were working for allfunctions. The trunk is nicely preserved lined completely in graytweed. A full-size spare is encased in black vinyl. We note thatthe consignor has had all of the re-veneered to keep things lookingspit spot. DrivetrainThe original 5.3 liter V12 engine is under the bonnet fed byBosch-Lucas digital electronic fuel injection and a TH400 3-speedautomatic transmission is on the back. The transmission was rebuiltat 55,171 miles. A 2.88 geared rear axle puts the power to thepavement. Power disc brakes are found front and rear. Visually, theV12 fills every niche of the engine bay with hoses, wires, fuelrails, and the sheer real estate the engine and its intake occupy.Consignor noteshow us that the car just had an oil change, in March2024 and alignment. The entire brake system from the mastercylinder back was replaced and so was the auxiliary fan motor. UndercarriageUnderneath we can note some surface rust, but structurally soundmetal makes up the unibody, and floor pans as well as the rockers.Independent suspension is on all 4 corners, coil springs in frontand coil overs in the rear. Dual exhaust handles the exhale andconnects to stainless steel mufflers and all is looking good inthis neighborhood. Understated polished tips tuck neatly under therear bumper. We note some oil on the oil pan and some blow back.Other moisture appears closer tothe front stabilizer bar. Thesteering rack bellows are noted to be torn. Drive-AbilityThis car started right up, and we were off to the test loop. It hasgreat rail-like handling, great performance on the acceleration andhandling front, and all in all very comfortable and a responsivecar to drive. Those V12 engines just run soooo smoooothly, I amalways impressed with them. Especially when they are totally intune. A great powerfully cat with this V12 XJS, plenty of conveniencesand stunning leather and burl. Nothing says power, prestige andprominence like a Jaguar, especially a convertible and this onehits all 3 marks. Couple in the thin body design being a sure hookfor the Jag aficionados, and this one in great condition still haslots of life left to go find the nearest country road and play! Ican tell you this, having seen this car on the turnpike the day itcame in, it looks and runs fantastic at 70 mph. Long before I knewit was a consignment coming in, I was taking photos of the car onthe road because it's such a rare beauty to see.
