Hi eddiepanton
There was only 1 Cabriolet factory fitted with rear seats – Lady Diana’s.
However, Jaguar dealers provided to their customers the option of having rear seats. These were carried out locally, utilising XJ-S Coupe seats.
You’ll see lots of different variations of rear seats, depending on what the dealers could obtain as much as anything. There will also be some that the owners of the car at some point in its life retro fitted rear seats.

Hi Joshua Lyons
Do you mean this :

Yes it is an air deflector for when you have the Targa panel out and the rear hood down.
The XJ-SC Cabriolet were built by Jaguar – there’s a brief article Here about them.
Cheers,

Nice to see an XJS in a modern advert – looks as good as any modern soft top sports car 🙂
Hi Trevor Kent I found a photo of the Dior Pink XJS Convertible – Singapore Airport
Though this isn’t the same car that’s in the advert – which is an XJS Facelift Convertible

Hi John Bleasdale – the details John has completed about his car does indeed state VIN 141229, so I guess it is the car you thought it was.

Hi Mark Thorley
That’s a really good question you’ve raised there. Difficult to answer really. I remember the dilemma when I was a child as to whether to keep shinny new toys in their boxes or play with them, and I decided then that I’d play with them as much as possible, treat them with respect and then store them away in their boxes after (that way I got to play with new toy cars every time I fetched them out of their boxes),
Therefore, I’d go for putting the NOS parts on the car, and raising the standard of the car up as high as possible.
What do other members think ?
