Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 11 - 12 April 2019. Estimate: €15.000 - €20.000 Offered from the Youngtimer Collection U.S.-specification example, delivered new to California One of just 11 built for the 1992 model year Among the last of the V-12 convertibles Good things come to those who wait, and for Jaguar devotees wanting an XJS convertible, it was more than a decade. Fears that California would ban convertibles meant the XJS was only launched as a 240 km/h coupe in 1975. The wait ended in 1988 after Karmann, the German coachbuilder, created a full convertible. The facelift model, launched in 1991, gained revised lighting, new dash instruments and better build quality. It was a success with U.S. customers, including the musicians Tupac Shakur and Tom Petty. The V-12 was increased to 6.0 litres, and also offered was the four-litre convertible with AJ16 engine. It offered better economy for the same performance. Finished in Signal Red with magnolia leather, beige hood and optional fog lamps, it is among just 11 V-12s made that year. According to the original service book which accompanies the car, this example was delivered new to the U.S. through Jaguar of Thousand Oaks. Its first owner listed in the manual is MDR Car Collection Inc., located at 9815 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, taking delivery on 31 March 1992. Interestingly, MDR was a company that provided cars to the film industry for use in movies. It is not known how long the car remained in California, but at some point, it made its way to Japan and remained there until 2013, when it was exported to Europe. The car was purchased in 2015 by its current owner and imported to Switzerland, where it has remained ever since. • Aus der Youngtimer Collection • US-Ausf�hrung, Erstauslieferung in Kalifornien • Eines von nur 11 f�r das Modelljahr 1992 gefertigten Exemplare • Eines der letzten Zw�lfzylindercabrios Gut Ding will Weile haben - und so mussten Cabriofans bei Jaguar mehr als zehn Jahre auf einen offenen XJ-S warten. Nach Bef�rchtungen, dass die USA das Angebot von offenen Fahrzeugen komplett verbieten w�rden, wurde der XJ-S 1975 ausschlie�lich als geschlossenes Coup� angeboten. Erst 1988 hatte das Warten ein Ende, als der deutsche Karosseriebauer Karmann ein vollst�ndig offenes Cabrio entwickelte. Mit dem 1991 durchgef�hrten Facelift bekam auch der offene XJ-S in den Genuss neuer Heckleuchten, neuer Instrumente und einer besseren Fertigunsqualit�t - ein voller Erfolg bei den US-Kunden, zu denen auch Tupac Shakur und Tom Petty geh�rten. Der Hubraum des V12 wurde auf 6 Liter vergr��ert, w�hrend auch eine Sechszylindervariante mit dem AJ16-Vierliter f�r bessere Wirtschaftlichkeit bei nahezu gleichen Fahrleistungen erh�ltlich war. Wie lange dieser XJ-S in Kalifornien verblieb, ist nicht bekannt, doch wurde er irgendwann nach Japan exportiert, bevor er nach Europa kam. Vom heutigen Besitzer wurde der Wagen 2015 erstanden und in die Schweiz importiert, wo er bis heute verblieb.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/es19.
