1995 Jaguar XJS 4.0 Celebration Convertible
Turquoise/Cream
72000 Miles
A/C & Cruise
This must surely be in the top ten of quintessential British open top sports cars?
the kind that you see driving down country lanes on the way to a country fete driven
by a man in driving gloves and a flat cap emanating pure British cool. On a summer's
evening, with the straight-six on song and the long hood with the leaper pointing the
way to adventure the Big Cat does have a presence that many people respond to, which
is quite evident when out and about. It brings smiles and comments from many onlookers,
and invites conversation. So, I say yes, this is one of the most evocative British
classics around and always will be.
N939 NUA
This lovely, and very original 1995 Jaguar XJS Celebration Convertible was supplied
new by Appleyard Jaguar in Bradford on 01.08.1995 and has only covered 72878 miles.
There are four previous owners though significantly was the property of a Dr in
Tring for some seventeen years. The current test expires next month so a fresh
MOT will be completed. This is an hpi clean vehicle in all respects.
Unique Specification
Finished in Turquoise with Blue roof and Cream leather interior. The cream leather
was a factory option and may be a one of one combination. Further complimented with
a matching tonneau and a rare wind deflector, both of which fit and operate with
remarkable ease. The Gold leaper is of course an aftermarket fit.
The end of production celebration models feature a revised spec with embossed
seats, and piped interior. The AJ16 engine replaced the AJ6 and feels more lively
on the throttle and sharper, with the brakes receiving a tweak, plus a more modern
instrument pack. This car has cruise and air con.
Service History
An impressive service history, the service book has nine service stamps which
confirms that it has been well maintained with the last service carried out
11 months ago (though only four hundred miles ago) by Jaguar Ascot. A
considerable paper history details the whole service life, containing the
original bill of sale, invoices, old registration documents and MOT
certificates.
Within the last few thousand miles its had new front shock absorbers, new fan
& alternator & pas belt, amd the air con regassed. All carried out by a respected
Jaguar specialist.
Condition
Many hd images will hopefully illustrate that this is a specially preserved
example. I don’t recall seeing another one even come close to this overall
cosseted cherished Jag. The roof is in excellent order, as are all leathers
and wood, the engine bay is a marvel all of its own, the chrome is wonderful.
The alloys retain the diamond cut finish.
Summary
The Celebration model signalled the end of an era and low mileage original
examples of the convertible are becoming increasingly rare and highly
sought-after. If you have not owned an XJS before then you really owe it
to yourself to do so. If you have been waiting on the right one to surface
then this could be it as it won’t come again.
This final edition provides a sublime combination of ample velvet linear power
and the most wonderfully relaxing ride quality and steering. To waft around
propelled by four litre six is a life-affirming experience that it has to be said,
is somewhat addictive!
