This 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 convertible has resided in Texas since 2003 and was acquired by the current owner in 2024. Finished in Carnival Red with a beige soft top over Cream leather, the car is powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car features 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels, fog lights, power-adjustable front sport seats, automatic climate control, a cassette stereo, and a CD changer. This XJS convertible has 26k miles and is offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with the owner’s manual, service records, and a Texas title.

Developed under the code name “XJ27,” the initial design of the XJ-S was conceived by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, and a 1991 facelift introduced revised headlights. This example is finished in Carnival Red and features fog lights, a Jaguar leaper hood ornament, and a beige soft top reportedly replaced in 2024. Paint oxidation is noted on the trunk lid, and paint correction is stated to have been performed in preperation for the sale.

Chrome-finished 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus tires, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The selling dealer tells us the rear shocks and mounts were replaced in November 2024.

The cabin is trimmed in Cream leather and features power-adjustable front sport seats, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo linked to a trunk-mounted CD changer. The heater valve and blower motor were reportedly replaced in November 2024.

The wood- and leather-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 26 miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.0-liter inline-six was factory rated at 237 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. The electronic control module and idle-speed module were replaced in November 2024, per the selling dealer.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.

The Texas title notes “Exempt” under the Odometer Reading heading.
