Exterior and Interior
Wearing a burgundy coat that looks just like a fine dark red wine, this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is a car for the discerning. Since it’s a convertible you don’t get the iconic flying buttress rear design, but what you do get is a tan, power-operated drop-top that drenches the cabin in glorious sunshine on pleasant days. Alternatively, you could take a night drive on clear nights and enjoy the gaze of every single star in the sky. The car’s timeless design and silver five-spoke alloy wheels will definitely make it a head-turner no matter where you go. The interior of this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible is in 2+2 configuration, which means two adults and up to two children can travel in its passenger cabin. The seats are covered in sumptuous tan leather, while the dashboard and door cards sport walnut wood trim. There’s no shortage of powered conveniences, including the aforementioned powered convertible roof, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. Then, you’ll be kept comfortable by air conditioning, and your choice of music from a modern Kenwood head unit with USB and AUX options.
Engine
Pop open the front-hinged hood of this 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible and you’ll find a 4.0L in-line six-cylinder engine waiting to be deployed. Granted, it may not be the legendary V12, but you’ll appreciate the Six’s smoothness and relative simplicity, especially when maintenance time comes calling. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic gearbox, while disc brakes on all wheels ensure steady stopping abilities.
