The XJS is a highly respected grand-touring classic, with a great all-round driving experience.
There's a myth that the Jaguar XJS was supposed to fill in the gap which was left open by the demise of the E-Type. The 1975 Jaguar XJS was created as a luxury grand-tourer rather than an out-and-out sporting thriller. Yet, as the years went on, it carved its own niche and became something of a great all-rounder. One of the important factors that ensured its appeal remained strong over its ~21-year production run the model was the use of high-efficiency engines, but the XJS's main staying power can be attributed to the inclusion of a full convertible option.
Its final iteration arrived in 1991 when the XJS was given its last overhaul, which also included a series of new 4.0-litre straight six engines and the further addition of a full 4-seater convertible. Further changes were implemented in 1994 and in the following year, the runout versions, known as the Celebration (to celebrate the 60th year of Jaguar Cars) became a fitting tribute to mark the end of production of the XJS. Distinguished by unique 16” alloy wheels, full luxury specification and a unique range of exterior finishes, the Celebration edition, particularly in convertible form has become rather sought after.
Finished in a stunning Sapphire Blue with a cream leather interior, this 1995 Celebration has been with its original owner since new and has just ~35,337 miles on the clock. Complete with its original bill of sales and 13 service stamps it also comes with three sets of keys and an MOT to the end of August.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting David the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
