1988 Jaguar XJ-SC V12

1988 Jaguar XJ-SC
A rare variant of the XJS produced for only a couple of years before the full convertible. These cars were produced to order and the roof system was put together by Aston Martin. Its comprised of the 2 removable hard roof panels in the Targa type position and a rag top rear section. It retains the full roll bar of the coupe and was therefore considered much safer.
I also have the hard top for the rear section that you may install during winter months when not using the convertible top.
I have owned this one for 15 years and have performed a great deal of maintenance.
* Transmission rebuilt within the last 5000 miles including B&M shift kit (stiffens the shifts slightly but will last much longer) Those slushy shifts wear out transmissions faster.
* Radiator and cooling system over haul including duel electric fans and aux electric coolant pump. (Both help greatly with post shutdown cooling of the V12)
* New (factory old stock) European spec (more power) exhaust system installed from the headers all the way to the back including new tips.
* Front and rear suspension overhaul with new springs and Bilstein shocks and new u joints on the half shafts.
* New Brakes front and rear including pads AND Rotors
* New wheels bearings front and rear.
* New Headlights
* New Fuel pump
* Detailed maintenance records available.
* Improved air intakes with K&N Filters (more power & better fuel economy)
One little rust spot behind the rear left wheel. I always intended to get to it just never did. I have stabilized the rust and its not getting any worse.
A few small paint chips and scratches that cant be seen from 6 feet away but pretty normal for a car of this age and mileage
I originally bought the car on Ebay over 15 years ago. :-)
Sad to see it go - we have had a lot of fun in it, but I have other projects that need the space and resources.
