1996 Jaguar XJS | Warrington, Cheshire

A 1996 Jaguar XJS, the British grand tourer built for comfort rather than sharp edges, with a long, low bonnet and sweeping rear buttresses. Its looks divided opinion at first, and many enthusiasts now count it among Jaguar's high points. This car is a convertible in red with a beige interior, in excellent condition. The warm pairing looks rich with the roof down, and it seats four. It has the 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine rather than the V12. The red paint and open top give advertising, fashion and editorial, and photography work strong colour and a clear view of the people inside. The buttressed profile gives music video, film and TV a clear 1980s or 1990s British luxury look, and events a car with presence at the door. Weddings and personal hires get a relaxed open-air arrival. The car is based in Warrington, Cheshire.
