Jaguar is in a state of flux right now that has been . . . polarizing, to say the least. If you long for the Jaguar designs of yesteryear or you just want a drop-top to cruise in, check out our AutoHunter Spotlight car: a 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible finished in Topaz and equipped with a Brown power-operated top over a Cream leather interior. It comes from the private seller in California with loads of original booklets and documentation and a clean CARFAX report; the title is in transit to the current owner.
As a 1995 model, this XJS is from the long-running model’s penultimate year on the market. It benefits from the ’92 facelift that brought restyled front and rear ends, and new upholstery and trim. This particular XJS comes in Topaz, which coordinates well with the power-operated Brown soft top (you can see it in action in the video below).
Other features include bright trim, a glass rear window with a defroster, a flip-up fuel cap, a third brake light on the trunk lid, and dual exhaust outlets. When lowered, the top can be stored under a beige top boot. The 16-inch factory wheels are wrapped in 225/60 Pirelli tires.
Just as you’d expect in a Jaguar, the interior is full of high-end materials. The power front buckets and the rear seats are covered in Cream Connolly leather. Walnut trim highlights the door panels, dashboard, center stack, and center console. Of course, there are plenty of conveniences too, such as power windows, power steering, cruise control, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/cassette radio with a trunk-mounted Alpine six-disc CD changer.
Behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel is a set of gauges that includes a 7,000-rpm tachometer, 160-mph speedometer, and readouts for the voltage, fuel level, oil pressure, and temperature. The odometer shows 129,708 miles, which is a slight increase from the latest figure of 129,540 miles logged on the CARFAX report from November 2023.
This Jag will start purring once you crank up the 4.0-liter inline-six under the hood. It was factory-rated at 237 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. An electronically controlled four-speed automatic and a 3.54:1 rear end turn those on-paper numbers into real-world acceleration. Power four-wheel disc brakes are there to make sure this cat doesn’t lose one of its nine lives when it gets “the zoomies.”
Whether you want to send Jaguar a message that it’s headed in the wrong direction or you have the urge to go to the beach, you can do it in this 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible. But you have to bid on it first. Do that right now before the auction ends on Friday, August 1 at 11:00 a.m. (PDT).
