This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertible has remained registered in Tennessee and Washington since new and is finished in black over black leather upholstery. Powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the car features a limited-slip differential, a black soft top, silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels, heated power-adjustable seats, cruise control, a cassette stereo, and automatic climate control. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, this XJ-S V12 convertible is offered at no reserve in Illinois with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean Washington title.

The car is finished in black and features a black soft top, quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.

Silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel anti-lock discs.

The cabin features heated and power-adjustable seats upholstered in black leather, along with burl wood veneer accents on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include a driver-side airbag, cruise control, a cassette stereo, and automatic climate control.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 36k miles. A mileage inconsistency is listed in a March 2004 entry on the Carfax report, though it notes that it may be the result of a clerical error. Total mileage is unknown.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
