1994 Jaguar XJS 6.0 Convertible TWR

Highlights

• WaxOyled by Clarkes Jaguar

• All keys with fobs, and both tool kits present
• One of only 81 right-hand-drive 6.0-litre XJS Convertibles produced

The Appeal

In 1991, Ford took over Jaguar's reins and dropped the XJ-S's hyphen, as well as introducing a swathe of upgrades. By 1992, that included both a convertible and bringing the car's legendary V12 powerplant up to 6.0-litre capacity, following in the footsteps of Tom Walkinshaw Racing's aftermarket engine work. This was the largest that the legendary buttressed tourer ever carried. It was a meaningful upgrade in hardware, and thanks to the engine's hemispherical 'Fire Ball' chambers, it wasn't quite the gas-guzzler you might expect from a 12-cylinder block. With just 81 right-hand-drive convertibles produced, it is among the most collectable of all XJS variants.

This example, finished in Sapphire Blue metallic over parchment leather, was supplied new by TWR Jaguar Oxford in April 1994. It has had just four registered keepers, with its second custodian retaining the car for 13 years before it passed to Clarkes Jaguar, a highly regarded XJS specialist, who then maintained it for a further fifteen years.

The car was then acquired by the seller's late brother in March 2026 and placed straight back into dry storage, where it has remained since. The vendor reports that the car presents in very good order throughout, with all instruments, equipment, and the soft top functioning as intended.
