Apple Computer-assigned 1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Dorchester grey convertible originally issued to Apple engineer Taylor Pohlman through the company’s Executive Automobile Policy, preserved with its full Apple fleet file and supporting documentation. Introduced as the first fully factory-built convertible version of the XJS, the 1989 Jaguar XJS V12 two-door coupe paired the maker’s rare and refined 5.3-liter V12 engine with a three-speed automatic transmission. Its luxurious grand-touring design features leather upholstery, wood trim, heated seats, power amenities, and a soft-top roof. Positioned as a flagship model, the car embodied Jaguar’s signature blend of British elegance and smooth, powerful performance.
The archive includes Apple’s program-termination letter, the official buyout offer signed by Senior Vice President Kevin Sullivan, GE Capital Fleet Services forms identifying “Apple Computer” as owner/lessor, the original Apple insurance ID card, driver packet instructions, and internal correspondence regarding registration, maintenance, and the March 1990 deadline to purchase or return the vehicle.
Apple’s fleet depreciation documents record the vehicle specifically as a 1989 Jaguar XJS with an Apple book value of $42,307 at the time of purchase. The car is accompanied by the full set of Jaguar books, a leather folio, manuals, security radio information, and a substantial archive of Jaguar service records spanning its life; the car’s odometer reads 29,000 miles. With its confirmed Apple provenance, complete corporate paperwork, and continuity of documentation rarely seen with executive-issued vehicles, this Apple-registered XJS stands as a distinctive artifact linking Silicon Valley corporate culture with a classic grand-touring marque.
The vehicle is located in Germany; the winning bidder will be responsible for all shipping and export/import fees.
