1992 JAGUAR XJS CONVERTIBLE
For sale is a 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible, a timeless blend of British elegance and grand touring performance. Finished in striking Signal Red coachwork, this classic is complemented by an extended black leather interior and topped with a refined black mohair convertible roof, creating a bold yet sophisticated presence.

This example is from the desirable facelift generation, representing the final year of the classic chrome-bumper design before Jaguar transitioned fully to body-colored trim. It blends the best of both eras, retaining the traditional styling cues while benefiting from the modern updates Ford introduced after acquiring Jaguar in 1989. These enhancements include features such as electrically adjustable heated seats and the updated “border” dashboard instrumentation, bringing contemporary comfort and usability to the timeless elegance of the XJS.

Under the hood lies Jaguar’s renowned 5.3-liter aluminum V12, a powerplant celebrated for its smoothness and effortless delivery of power. Paired with the dependable General Motors Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission, it provides relaxed yet commanding performance ideally suited to grand touring. With the facelift, the V12 benefited from significant upgrades, including a modern Marelli ignition system and updated fuel injection, improving reliability, efficiency, and drivability. These refinements, influenced by Ford’s stewardship, ensured the XJS maintained its position as a refined luxury GT while becoming more dependable and user-friendly for contemporary ownership.

Beyond its elegant design and refined performance, this XJS was also equipped with a suite of modern features that placed it well ahead of its contemporaries. The extended leather interior elevates the cabin with beautifully finished leather-covered seats, door panels, and center console, creating a truly luxurious atmosphere. Convenience and comfort were equally prioritized, with amenities such as a modern trip computer, electric windows and mirrors, an electric convertible roof, a telescoping electric antenna, and driver’s memory seating. The heated glass rear window further enhances usability, ensuring this classic Jaguar blends timeless craftsmanship with advanced technology that outshone many of its rivals in the early 1990s.

Under current ownership, this Jaguar XJS has benefitted from meticulous maintenance and careful preservation, ensuring it performs as beautifully as it presents. Extensive mechanical and cosmetic work has been carried out through the winter of 2024, including the installation of new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and dual Marelli ignition coils, along with replacement of the ignition rotor and cap. The air injection rails were removed, cleaned, and polished, fitted with new double O-ring gaskets and refreshed one-way valves. Further improvements included new throttle body, intake manifold, and valve cover gaskets, while all 12 fuel injectors were removed, professionally refurbished, and fitted with new O-rings and filters. The crossover pipe for the intake manifolds was polished and paired with fresh hoses, and throttle linkages were carefully adjusted to factory specification. To enhance usability, new hood and trunk struts were installed.
