Hess & Eisenhardt: 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible
The Jaguar XJS was introduced in the mid 1970s as the long term successor to the E Type, trading pure sports car simplicity for high speed grand touring comfort and advanced engineering. At its heart was Jaguar’s legendary 5.3 liter V12, a famously smooth but notoriously complex engine, making examples like this Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible one of the most affordable ways to experience twelve cylinder British luxury.

A $2,000 V12 Jag. What could go wrong?
You would probably still be ahead of the game using it for a small block Chevrolet swap.
Is the handicapped tag for the car or the driver?
Always liked the lines on these, but only in a hard top. Some of the resto-mod XJS’s I’ve seen look very good.
