Jaguar Mk X convertible
Jaguar 420 G convertible from 1969
Even a XJ40 has been converted into a 2-door cabriolet.

in 1996 by Jaguar to commemorate Daimler’s centenary. It was
named after the 1931 Daimler Double-Six Corsica. The car was a one-off
never intended for production. The Car has made a limited numbers
of appearances at car shows and events. It’s owned by the Jaguar
Daimler Heritage Trust and displayed at the Jaguar museum at Browns

Tomorrows Jaguar convertible?

The focus of this website is the beautiful Jaguar
XJ convertible. Jaguar has never build an open version of the XJ,
but they build the donor car the 2-doors XJC (the coupe version of
the XJ series 2). Then a handful of coach workers around the world
during the years have converted a estimated numbers of 50 into convertibles.
Even a few 4-doors XJ’s has been converted into convertibles.
Some might call it blasphemy converting an original Jaguar into an
estate or convertible, but coach working is in fact an important chapter
of British car history. In general most of the converted cars are
rebuild in great respect to the original design and therefore might
be considered as “the missing link” Jaguar never build
them self.

The ultimate Mrk. II a beautiful convertible
(visit: http://www.vicarage.co.uk/)
The vision of rebuilding Jaguar salon cars into convertible is
not new, but because the XJC model already was a 2-door model
it was much easier to convert than for example the Mrk. II, the
XJ salon or the XJ300 – but despite the difficulties some
have done it… |
Jag-freak from an early age
Jaguar have been the car brand of my dreams, ever since I as a child
in the 60’s grove up in a sleepy suburban 15 km from the center
of Copenhagen (Denmark),. This is thanks to a local car dealer and
collector with a great collection of Jaguars that I quite often visited
in my younger days. In the mid 90’s I had a XJC coupe and today
I’m the lucky owner of one of the rare XJC convertible.
Enjoy and participate
Because of the rareness of this model it’s difficult to get
information on the car. I have been doing some research on the Intetnet
and you are invited to reed about the XJC convertible.
I hope you will enjoy the pictures, technical information ect. and
maybe if your self have a convertible you will join the XJC convertible
register. If you want to sell a XJC convertible, you can do it for
free. If you have interesting pictures, documents ect. that you think
will in light the history of this rare model, you are invited to e-mail
the material (please se contact info under “Contact”)
I hope that you will enjoy the webpage.
