Extra Information: Can’t go past a red sports car! This 10/1985 Jaguar XJ-SC is a rare targa-roof cabriolet, believed to be one of just 191 delivered new to Australia. Its original 5.3-litre V12 paired with the three-speed automatic transmission.
Introduced in 1983, the XJ-SC was a limited-production cabriolet variant of Jaguar's XJ-S grand tourer. Featuring removable targa roof panels and a folding rear hood, it provided open-air motoring while retaining the refinement of the XJ-S coupe. Built in relatively small numbers, the XJ-SC is now one of the rarest body styles in Jaguar's modern history, with Australian-delivered examples especially scarce.
This example is believed to have had around five owners in total. Records suggest four owners up to 2002, after which the car was placed in storage until being recommissioned in 2015 and registered on club plates. The vehicle requires some mechanical maintainance which includes a new battery and further mechanical investigation as the vehicle won't start .
Supplied with its original tool kit, spare tyre cover, books, manuals, and documentation this would make a terrific club car.
The exterior presents very well in Signal Red while the contrasting chrome and trim present well. The switchgear in the cabin is intact while the removable roof panels and targa configuration remain functional.
The service history includes books stamped up to 40,000 km and some scattered receipts thereafter. Original purchase documentation is included, along with the warranty certificate and radio cassette handbook. In the last two years, the fuel tank has been cleaned and re-bladdered, injectors replaced, and the fuel system flushed.
