1994 Jaguar XJS 60,000 Mile Convertible in Stunning Oyster (silvery-gold) with Barley Leather Interior! Some people refer to Oyster as 'Champagne' though there were 3 different colors that Jaguar offered that are similar. This is the color in all the Jaguar literature of 1994, and interestingly, also the color that Princess Diana picked for her Jaguar XJS convertible (they are almost the exact same - except the LHD).
This has been a well kept car. It really shows. The interior has not been replaced with new seats, but take a look a just how good the driver's seat is. 'New' aftermarket leather never truly matches the color of the rest of the interior, neither in quality or color. The engine bay looks freshly detailed, but hasn't been. Same with the trunk.
The paint is original. There are some spots and scratches in it... please try to remember the car isn't new. If you would like more detailed photos, please submit a non-eBay email.
I have most of the documented history. Records that I have show as 4 owners: myself and 1 other family... grandmother who purchased the car, neuro-surgeon son who drove it mostly, then nephew when his grandparents passed. It has always been here in AZ. And YES! it does make a difference. A friend just purchased a 1996 in Las Vegas, but it had come from the north and had rust in unusual places. If you know about how these cars are constructed, getting a good, dry southwest (Arizona) car is best!
The car has had some recent work: fluids changed, some radiator hoses replaced, new front brakes and rotors, front bearings, etc. The car has aftermarket 'KMC' chrome wheels and new tires. It recently passed emissions with flying colors. It is ready to be driven anywhere. I have been drivingit to work, reliably.
The Jaguar XJS evolved throughout its life, getting better as it aged. 1994 is considered to be one of the best, with reason. 1994 is considered to be a 'facelift' XJS, with new tail lights and European head lights, but it is the 1st year it has the body colored bumpers (1993 and older don't), as well as 'Outboard' rear brakes (why is this important? 1993 and older have to have the axle removed to replace a $100 brake job - labor is often over $1000!!!). 1994 had the 220hp 4.0L L6 engine, considered to be 'indestructible'... often seeing over 250K without trouble in XJ6 sedans. It also benefitted from BMW and Mercedes ZF styled 4 speed automatic transmission and better rear axle ratio gearing. It is also the 1st year of the 'Occasional' seating optionin the back, making it the1st 2+2 Convertible... 1993 and older have a tray.
In sum, it is a wonderful, desirable and highly collectible car. KKB suggests $15,000 for this car... Hemmings says more. I have seen many lesser cars ask for more. And, these cars are really starting to go up in value...
I know it is getting colder in the rest of the country, but it is just getting into convertible weather here in Arizona. Please feel free to fly in and drive the car home. I am more than happy to arrangefor a pick-up atPHX airport.
