Model history
The Jaguar XJS, which was presented in 1975 as the successor to the legendary E-Type, embodied British elegance and luxurious driving comfort. The Targa version in particular, officially known as the XJ-SC, stands out due to its rare roof construction with removable roof sections. In the V12 version offered here, a powerful 5.3-liter twelve-cylinder engine ensures superior driving performance and relaxed long-distance suitability. For years, the XJS remained a symbol of stylish travel with a touch of aristocratic flair.
