The first factory production Jaguar XJ-S Convertible was introduced in 1988, long overdue for enthusiasts of warm weather climates and top-down enjoyment. Earlier SC variants required tedious panel removal with storage in the trunk, or special conversion models from coach builder Hess & Eisenhardt which added great expense. These true factory convertibles continue to be very well received today, with prices continuing to rise over the last decade, allowing for wonderful future investments .....
