Model history

In 1983, Jaguar introduced the XJ-SC, the convertible version of the XJ-S. One of its outstanding features was the electrically operated Targa roof, which allowed occupants to enjoy the open-top driving experience of a convertible while retaining the structure and appearance of a coupé. This model was part of a line of luxury Grand Tourers that were renowned for their comfort, performance and elegant aesthetics. Only around 5000 of these were produced until 1988.

Summary of the vehicle

The Jaguar XJ-SC has been in Germany since 2011. There, the British classic has been stored dry throughout and regularly driven on private property. In addition, the Jaguar impresses with its extensive equipment, a powerful engine and its pristine original condition. However, this is a collector's vehicle that needs to be repaired. However, this should hardly deter enthusiasts, as the Jaguar XJ-SC is practically a rarity due to its limited production number.
