Backstory
from the owner...
You are
looking for the finest Jaguar you can find.
You are here because the excellence found in
your neck of the woods is a joke. I know
exactly how you feel. I attend specialty
and dealer-only auctions every week searching
for the best of the best in what I like to call,
"niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000
vehicles locally each week and select cars I've
come to know are hard to find and that fit my
business model of marketing exclusively on eBay.
A low mileage drophead Jag will make my list
every single time but just a small percentage of
cars end up being worth my hard earned money.
I'll see a
dozen or so of all types each year (27-years in the
business/doing this online last 7 years) and what that means for you is; I have
looked at,
touched, smelled and walked away from a lot of
Jaguars.
I am extremely picky and this
convertible is one of a precious handful nice
enough to justify the considerable efforts of me
and my staff. Past ownership, service history and
condition, condition, condition are what
matters. High performance collectables are not
always treated well, but a precious few are
taken care of and given proper respect.
Beautiful paint, spectacular interior, service
history and an absolute knock-out to see in
person - as good as these pictures are, they can't
possibly convey the awesome visual impact this
car has in real life. What
else could you want? A great deal? I
have that covered too but you will not be
purchasing this ultra rare condition car for
wholesale or even low book value. You
already know you get what you pay for and if you
want documented service, exceptional
condition and true excellence, this 1994 Jaguar
XJS 2+2 convertible represents a
rare opportunity. Read all about this
remarkable car, examine
every picture in detail, see the amazing
quality up close and personal and then make
your call and give me an offer. I promise,
you will not be disappointed.

Sublime. This 1994 Jaguar 2+2 convertible is
perhaps the highest quality, most carefully maintained XJS
available for purchase in the world. A bold statement
and easy to justify with a car
this special. Purchased new in California, the 34,621
miles accumulated slowly and service was frequent.
It has never been in an accident and the paint and exterior
trim suggest nothing other than indoor storage.
Everything works, nothing is broken, it's spotless under the
bonnet and assembly line fresh underneath. This is how
a top level, high quality classic is supposed to look.
This is how a new Jaguar is supposed to drive. Having
averaged barely 1,700 miles annually since new, this XJS is
sublime . . .
With no accident history, panel alignment
is superb and seams are tight. Tap the key, click the
4-speed automatic in drive and experience how completely
beguiling British performance and luxury can feel. Few
cars are as free from vibration and none own the road or turn as many
heads as this XJS certainly does . . .

Precision and finesse with every turn of
the wheel, every sure application of the brakes. This
is refinement, with no pretense and it's baked into a
Jaguar's DNA. This seductive cat redefines what a 20 year old "used" car can be.
Exterior bright work is stunning, all lenses look new
and the doors, bonnet and boot open smooth and close new
car solid.
Long and lithe,
this XJS is completely British and the very definition
of what a Jaguar is. It was assembled at Browns Lane
in Coventry, with uncompromising style and craftsmanship.
Unparalleled quality and a great maintenance record, the lucky
winner of this drophead need not make any
compromises in his or her expectations, however extreme
. . .
Top-down profile is
timeless and top condition itself is practically perfect.
It powers down and back up again flawlessly and the matching
boot snaps into place easily. Component fit is factory
fresh, exterior lenses are clear and bright and soft trim
seems unaffected by exposure. A car at this condition
level actually increases in value the longer and
closer you look. That's the kind of quality this XJS
has and
with only 34,621 miles, this unbelievable Jag is an
extremely rare car. This 1994 Jaguar XJS
convertible was a classic the day it rolled off the assembly
line and its future collectability is assured. Like
most owners, you probably won't be selling it any time soon
. . .
Jaguar calls this
leather, "Doeskin" and you won't find a single rip
or tear. It is in fact (like everything else) one of
the highest quality interiors we've ever seen on any
car, regardless of mileage . . .
Both seats are
6-way power adjustable, heated and have power lumbar. There
are two airbags and unlike some XJS convertibles, this
is a 2+2 so, in a pinch, people can ride in the back . . .
(back seat use
ideal for short trips, small/adorable children,
large/un-adorable adults and/or annoying people)
There it is; about 4.7 miles a day since new
. . .
4.0 Liter DOHC Inline 6-Cylinder Engine
237 horsepower @ 4,700/282 ft-lb torque @
4,000 RPM
Clean, dry, reliable
and silky smooth . . .
Low
mileage Jags this beautiful underneath usually
command a hefty premium.
Yep . .

Brand new, brand new, brand new .

Owner books.
A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
