One of Jaguar’s finest luxury cars, the XJS is well-known for its interesting styling and growling V12 engine. Produced for 21 years, the model ran between 1975 and 1996. The XJS saw many updates along the way, but have you heard of the Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible? Hess & Eisenhardt was an American outfit who converted regular Jaguar XJS examples into custom convertibles, before Jaguar themselves started officially offering a convertible. And that’s what we’ve got for sale today, a 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible with the signature custom Hess & Eisenhardt body modifications that make it a gorgeous drop-top for weekend cruises. The car comes to you with a mere 72,000 miles, and infinite charisma.
This 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible presents itself in a beautiful shade of blue. But that’s not the sole element of its allure. Its double headlamps, beautifully flowing lines, alloy wheels and power-operated soft top all add to the car’s overall aura. There’s also a color-coordinated boot cover, a heated glass rear window, and a color-keyed high-mounted rear stop lamp. The blue interior of this 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is a two-seat affair, with two plush leather seats awaiting an eager driver and enthusiastic passenger. The seats are power-adjustable and heated too. There are also electrically-operated windows, including the rear quarter windows, power-adjustable mirrors, and climate control. Then, we observe a trip computer and a Jaguar radio cassette player sitting in the center console. Meanwhile, behind the two seats lies a carpeted rear luggage area, with a chrome plated luggage retention rail, and even a leather-trimmed boot storage bag in the trunk. The rear compartment also contains interior lamps for more convenience. You can see the extent to which Hess & Eisenhardt have gone to create something truly amazing.
What Hess & Eisenhardt have left alone with this 1988 Jaguar XJS Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible is the engine. That’s because Jaguar already did a fine job, placing a lovely 5.3L V12 beneath the hood, and driving the rear wheels via a smooth automatic gearbox. With around 260 horses waiting for your command, you can enjoy a surprisingly sprightly ride.

The Jaguar XJS is well regarded as a fine classic Jag to own from this prolific British automaker. As Jaguar reinvents their identity in 2025 and goes in a different direction altogether, cars like this 54,533-mile 1993 Jaguar XJS are a great way to remember the brand’s colorful past of creating old-school British luxury cars for the discerning buyer. This particular car is sitting in Miramar, Florida, and has undergone a recent servicing. Moreover, the original manuals for this car are available, and what’s greater is, it’s been restored. You’ve also got all receipts available on request so that you can see the extent of work done to keep this beauty gliding along the roads.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Jaguar’s XJS is one of the most iconic grand tourers of the 1980s and 1990s. This beautiful car perfectly symbolizes old-school Jaguar charm, mixed with the modern features and conveniences of the time. Initially, Jaguar outsourced production of a convertible variant to American firm Hess & Eisenhardt in 1986. This was a coachwork job, where coupes were shipped to the company, and made into convertibles. However, Jaguar started making their own factory convertible variant from 1988. That’s what this 32,744-mile 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible is, and it could be yours! The car comes with up-to-date servicing as well.
The legendary Jaguar E-Type of the ʼ60s is considered one of the brand’s most hallowed vehicles of all time. That’s probably why Jaguar didn’t really name a direct successor for several decades, until the F-Type of 2013. Produced until 2024, the F-Type was styled by Ian Callum, offered a V8 under the hood, and had all the classic characteristics of a Jaguar sports car. Yes, you could argue that Jaguar made models with a similar purpose after the E-Type, such as the XJS and XK series, but they didn’t really continue the naming convention for those. That’s why you must check out this punchy 2017 Jaguar F-Type R with its snarling 5.0-liter supercharged V8 and 25,649 miles on the odometer. The car has been chip tuned, meaning that it’s definitely pushing even more power to the road. Two keys are included with the sale of this ferocious cat.

Introduced in the late ’90s, Jaguar’s S-Type was the British automaker’s midsize luxury car offering. Coming as your typical four-door sedan, the S-Type represented a refreshing alternative to luxury car buyers who didn’t want an E-Class or 5-Series. In 2008, the S-Type was replaced by the XF, making it a fairly short-lived car in a modern context. Today, getting your hands on an S-Type such as this 2007 Jaguar S-Type is a great idea because it’s a relatively uncommon car that’s still cut out for regular driving duties. Furthermore, it’s a definite future classic and one that you shouldn’t miss out on.

It’s unlikely that Mercedes realised just what a hit they had on their hands when they first designed the G-Wagon. The G Wagon, or G Class, was initially intended for hardcore off-road use and saw use in military applications, among others. Later in its life, the G Class became a symbol of success, and today’s car is far from a utilitarian off-roader. While it can still tackle the harshest of terrains, the G Class is arguably more luxurious than it was ever conceived to be. Case in point is this 2024 Mercedes-AMG G63. It features only 2,368 miles on the odometer, and boasts the full AMG Performance Package, AMG carbon fiber trim, and a long list of premium touches that make it one of the most complete and desirable SUVs on the road.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is well-known all over the world for its status as the Luxury Grand Tourer to buy when you’ve accomplished your life’s milestones. It’s got history dating back to 1954, and represents the best that Mercedes-Benz can put into a two-seat roadster. The R107 of 1971 started a trend of celebrity ownership, which continued into the R129 of 1989. Then, the R230 came in 2002 and raised the bar even further. Steve Jobs was frequently seen behind the wheel of an R230. When the R230 was due for replacement in 2011, Mercedes-Benz gave it a grand send-off in the shape of the Night Edition. Just 100 cars were produced, and we’ve got one today for sale in Tucson, Arizona. Play your cards right, line up your finances and give us a call, and this 23,600-mile 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Night Edition could be yours for the taking.
