This 1988 Jaguar XJS was transformed into a convertible by Hess & Eisenhardt of Cincinnati, Ohio in February 1988, and it reportedly has been owned by the same family since new. Now showing 48k miles, the car is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Satin Beige over Barley leather.

These Jaguars are the cheapest V12 cars available for sale at the moment.

Only shitty things about those year cars are those shitty rap around bumpers. 
If it were me, that would be changed to a custom bumper.

I always thought that the late 1980s XJS was the most British product you could possibly own.
Gorgeous proportions
Proper V12 engine
High quality leather interior
Zero fricks given about built quality

Unfortunately the body work wasn't much better than the mechanical and electrical quality. The bodies of those Jags are known for rusting out. Rapidly.
The best examples you'll find out there have been kept in Arizona or southern California in a garage.

I wouldn't have a second thought about driving it.

I'm surprised they were able to get that many miles out of it.Posted on 6/23/20 at 8:45 am to CAD703X

That’s like a half million in a Honda.

Slight de-rail here, but what happened to Jaguar? Why are they no longer mentioned in the same breath as other luxury automobiles like they used to be? And when did this shift happen?
I remember my uncle had a Jag in the early 90's and that was a damn fine vehicle.

This a trick question? Is there a dead body in the trunk? Maybe impounded on a raid of some Mexican cartel leader?
Not legit.

I don't think I would.

I would absolutely.
Would I buy one? Not without a thorough inspection from an expert.
Be very careful, or it may be a money pit.

Those "economy Maseratis" are all over the place around here.
I read that Chevrolet sells more vehicles that costs over $45,000 than any other manufacturer.

Looks like a ride for Pancho Claus.
