This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertible was acquired by the seller on BaT in November 2022, and it now shows 33k miles. Powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in New Glacier White over Barley leather upholstery. It also has a limited-slip differential, a dark brown soft top, silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels, power-adjustable seats, cruise control, a cassette stereo, an onboard computer, and automatic climate control. This XJ-S V12 convertible is now offered at no reserve with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, awards, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in New Glacier White and features a power-operated dark brown soft top with a glass rear window as well as a matching boot cover, a front air dam, front fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. The driver-side door sill and antenna motor were reportedly replaced before the seller’s acquisition.
Silver-finished 15″ cross-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 235/60 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, and a spare wheel with a vinyl cover is located in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock discs. The front wheel bearings were replaced in June 2024, according to the seller.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in Barley leather, and burl wood veneers accent the dashboard, center console, and doors. Appointments include cruise control, an onboard computer, a replacement soft top headliner, and automatic climate control. The seats were reportedly re-trimmed under previous ownership, and work performed prior to the seller’s acquisition is said to have included repairing the cruise control and replacing a window motor. There is a blemish in the wood trim on the center console, the seat heaters are not connected, and the driver’s lumbar support bladder does not fill.
A 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 33k miles, approximately 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. The throttle bushings, cooling fan, MAP hose, oil pressure sending unit, PCV valve, hood insulation pad, drive belts, battery fasteners, and transmission mount are said to have been replaced under previous ownership, and the air conditioning compressor was replaced in April 2024, according to the seller.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential
The framed Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate lists colors, identification numbers, and a build date of 7 April 1989. Awards, manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a die-cast XJ-S model are included in the sale.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
