This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertible remained in the original owner’s care until it was purchased by the seller in 2022, and it shows 78k miles following registration history in California and Arizona. Finished in Jaguar Racing Green over Barley leather, the car is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a black soft top, silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, heated seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This XJ-S V12 convertible is now offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Jaguar Racing Green and features a black soft top, a soft top boot, quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets.

Silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel anti-lock discs. The seller tells us that the shock mounts and front brake rotors were replaced in August 2022.

The heated seats feature power bolster adjustments and are upholstered in Barley leather. Burl wood veneer accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Wear and popped seams are present on the driver seat’s outer bolster.

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 78k miles, approximately 3,500 of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller tells us that the car has difficulty accelerating when the engine is warm.
