1991 Jaguar XJS Convertible

The 1991 Jaguar XJS is a refined expression of British luxury and grand touring elegance. Introduced in the mid-1970s as a successor to the legendary E-Type, the XJS evolved over the years into one of Jaguar’s most enduring models. By 1991, the car had received significant updates that enhanced both its performance and comfort, solidifying its reputation as a capable long-distance cruiser with timeless style.

Under the hood, buyers could choose between the silky smooth 5.3-litre V-12 or the more efficient 4.0-litre inline-six, both paired with automatic transmissions that emphasized relaxed, effortless driving. The V-12 in particular made the XJS one of the most powerful luxury coupes of its day, providing an experience that was as much about refinement as speed. Today, the 1991 Jaguar XJS is admired as a modern classic, offering a blend of traditional British luxury with the charm of an era when Jaguar was perfecting its role as a maker of grand touring machines.

A like-new example, this 1991 Jaguar XJS is presented with a mere 2,356 miles from new and a clean CARFAX® report. Acquired new by The Dane Miller Estate Collection from Tom Wood Jaguar, Mr. Miller purchased this example as a surprise birthday gift for his wife, Mary Louise Miller. Rarely driven, this Jaguar was mostly displayed and admired in their two-story climate-controlled collection facility.

To ensure Mary Louise Miller's once birthday present was always ready to be enjoyed, this Jaguar was sent to Dormen’s Vintage Car Garage, Inc. in the summer of 2020. Under their care, this XJS received a complete mechanical, electrical, and fuel system servicing. Documented by invoice records that total over $15,000 and a large file of photos during the process, some of the major work entailed dropping the rear independent suspension to work on the differential and suspension components, rebuilding both the front and rear brake calipers, removing, cleaning, and calibrating all twelve fuel-injectors, and completely going through the fuel system components and hoses. A full list of items addressed can be found on Kruse Auctions' website or at the Document Station during the sale.

This Jaguar is finished in its original factory Arctic Blue with a navy-blue soft convertible top and attractive XJS wire wheels. Offered with a mere 2,356 miles showing on the odometer and cherished in the Collection since new, this example has been properly maintained ensuring its lasting V-12 British legacy.
