The AJ 7 Cabriolet is based on the Production model XJS Cabriolet, and was modified by Arden by introducing rear seats which converted the vehicle to a 2+2 Cabriolet. This was made possible by lengthening the hydraulic in the rear storage compartment. This modification was so popular that Arden carried out modifications directly for Jaguar Germany. Winter resistance was guaranteed by a hardtop, which by using a special construction gave more headroom and also reduce wind noise.
