1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible

OVERVIEW

This 1996 Jaguar XJS convertible receives power from a 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes automatic climate control, woodgrain cabin trim, and four-wheel disc brakes. Finished in champagne metallic and equipped with a black cloth power-retractable top over a beige leather interior, this XJS is now offered with an owner’s manual, service records, Oregan registration and license plates, two keys with remote key fobs, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The beige metallic exterior is reportedly original and features chrome accents for the headlight bezels, mirror caps, and bumper trim; a power-operated black soft top; a trunk lid-mounted third brake lamp; and a dual exhaust system. The seller notes that the hood has a small dent on the driver's side.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Aluminum 16-inch wheels are wrapped in 225/60 Pirelli and Kumho tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is fitted with beige leather power-adjustable bucket seats, matched to the door panels, lower dash, console, carpeting, and floor mats. The dash, console, and steering wheel are accented with woodgrain trim. Additional amenities include power windows, cruise control, aluminum door sill plates, automatic climate control, and an aftermarket head unit.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 60,390 miles, which falls in line with the most recent figure of 59,520 miles logged on the CARFAX report in late 2020.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six was rated at 238 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is channeled to the rear wheels via a console-shifted four-speed automatic transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Braking is handled by four-wheel anti-lock discs.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The accident-free CARFAX report begins in July 1996 in Florida and shows ownership in Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon. An owner’s manual, service records, Oregan registration and license plates, and two keys with remote key fobs will accompany the car.
