The Jaguar XJS Convertible, which first appeared in 1988, was considerably more than just a coupé with the roof removed.

AMG found 8,100 homes for the C32, but the AMG engineers seemed much happier now that there was a serious, big-capacity, naturally aspirated 5.4 litre V8 powering the meatiest C-Class and the badge is there to, well, to ensure the owners don’t..
