Just offered is this neat turn key ready to enjoy solid California & Georgia Convertible! Take a very close look & see what this neat unrestored driver quality Jag is about! Deep down, every petrolhead desires a Jaguar convertible. Theres something about the heritage of this great British marque that fairly demands that you drop the hood and floor the throttle on a Sunday morning. Perhaps its the glamour attached to the convertible Jaguar E-Type of the 1960s, or the knowledge that Stirling Moss raced an open D-type at Le Mans - a car that fetched right at 8 million at auction. Heres a somewhat cheaper but no less powerful option thats now available for your garage! Check out this neat quite tidy & clean 1989 V12 XJS Jaguar convertible by Hess & Eisenhardt. Hess & Eisenhardt made approx 2,100 of these Jaguar convertibles before the UK factory finally came up with their own, less sleek version. That rarity alone means youre likely to attract just the right sort of attention when you park it outside the local Cars & Coffee. You wouldnt think a Jaguar convertible would be an ideal Hess & Eisenhardt project. Thats because the firm was best known for providing armour plated vehicles for heads of state, including every presidential limousine in the US from 1948 until 2001. For the XJS, Hess & Eisenhardt removed, rather than added, protection. Folded hood is placed low in the body for a smooth profile when youre cruising top-down. Conversion is to rigorous standards and the example you see here has covered a mere 73,000 miles, so basically not far from run in. This car feels fresh & crisp it does not give that tired or worn out vibe! This one runs & drives out well. Nice clean white paint & body, Nice chrome, Nice original power brown cloth top that still presents well with light age & wear. Nice clean tan leather heated seats, This cars 5.3L V-12 runs out smooth & strong. Nice shifting automatic. Nice true spoke 15 inch chrome wire wheels, nice engine bay, nice undercarrage & much more!
