Following the end of production for the iconic E-Type in 1975, Jaguar released their next generation of luxury Grand Tourers, the XJS. Powered by the E-Type's 5.3L V12, now with Lucas P Type fuel injection replacing the Zenith- Stromberg carburettors, the new XJS was a more refined Jaguar, with all the period creature comforts.
By 1981 the XJS had its first update, with a redesign of the combustion chamber, gaining a touch more horse-power, but importantly, greatly improving the fuel economy. The 1983 Model Year marked the introduction of the XJSC's Targa style roof, with a bar running between the B-pillars, removable panels and a rear fold-able soft top. A total of 5,013 left the Browns Lane factory, the majority in left hand drive.
This Stunning Antelope (Bronze) XJS Targa was built in May 1985 and delivered new to its first owner in Mt Eliza, Victoria, by ‘Peninsula Prestige Cars’. Accompanying the matching numbers Jag are the original delivery books and a thick file of receipts documenting much work carried out since 2012, both mechanical and cosmetic.
The ‘Targa Top’, presents in excellent condition and provides the flexibility to enjoy every moment, with your personal preference of roof up or down, either with the air conditioning or heater on, all with the Jaguar's classic style. The luxury cabin is trimmed in Connolly leather and dash features real Burr walnut. An updated Bluetooth Sony audio system has been fitted.
This XJS Cabriolet is ready for you to enjoy as the weather become dryer and sunnier for that favourite Sunday lunch spot or a weekend away in the country.
