1986 Jaguar XJS XJ-SC V12 Targa Convertible - Reliable Driver

1986 Jaguar XJ-SC Targa Convertible, beautiful car, runs, drives and brakes great, powerful smooth 5.3l V12 engine, automatic transmission, targa roof panels with rear Landaulet convertible roof, you could drive this car every day (except in snow). I drove it to work for a few weeks without problems (except for an empty gas tank). This is not a show quality trailer queen for $25k. The body has a few golf ball dings and imperfections, the convertible fabric inside is worn from the sun. The engine runs well and just had a tune-up. They are slowly getting rare with only 5,013 cars made. Very low 60,200 original miles.
