Jaguar XJ-SC 1986 T-Tops and 1/2 soft top. The Rarest Production Jaguar Ever. Only 5013 units made worldwide for all model years and only 2007 imported to North America for all model years. I have been restoring this Jaguar for 3 years I have owned as many as FIVE 1980's Jags at one time and consider myself to be very knowledgeable on these cars. I am thinning the heard some as I am looking to get into a used Bentley or Rolls. OK so let's go over what has been done. Car was just painted last week.... YES !!! LAST WEEK !!! I sold my Yacht to a gentleman that owns a body shop and worked a paint job into the deal. The car looks Great. New EBC Brake Pads all around New Front Drilled and Slotted Rotors New Master Cylinder Polyurethane Rack Bushings 4 New Boge Rear Shocks..... The fronts were replaced at some point with KYB and are in good shape. 2 NEW K&N Lifetime Air Filters Optima Red Top Battery New Water Pump New Radiator Hoses with a lower Temp Aux. Fan Switch All New Engine Belts Had a Wooded Steering Wheel sent from England for over $500 New Sony CD/Stereo and 4 speakers installed (Sounds great even with the tops off) Birdseye Maple Dash inlay and ski slope and a top quality Dash cap The seats bottoms are new and were originally a maroon color I used leatherique and had the skins dyed to factory color. The seatbacks are from Pauls Jaguar here in Fort Lauderdale and he is well known across the US for his factory original hides. The Oil was changed less than 500 Miles ago with Castrol Syntec 20/50 for classic cars. This is about the only oil I run in these as they have added Zinc protection package for old style tappets. I bring this up to inform any novice to these cars that they hold 12 qts and at $8 a quart plus filter you have about 10,000 to go before you need to change it out. The car has Dayton Wire Wheels and I even purchased a Dayton for the spare in the trunk. All the gauges work fine. The back soft top window has been replaced with new plastic and there are 2 boot covers for when the top is down. T-Tops have been completely refurbished and look new inside and out. I was told the AC needs to be recharged with R134 (so the conversion from R12 was done at sometime), but have never bothered as it is a convertible. Dynamat sound proofing has been installed on the floors. with new factory floor mats about a year ago. I purchased this car with the odometer reading 002004 (close to that anyway) So at sometime the Odometer has been replaced One more time AT SOMETIME THE ODOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACED. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THIS CAR. But it runs fine and always starts right up and LOOKS FANTASTIC. maybe able to find out through a car fax. I have never tuned up this engine so I would presume it could use one, but it runs fine. Car should have an alignment and there is a small exhaust note coming from a mid section pipe (actually sounds good to me). Tires are due at this point also. I just changed one rear tire with a New Pirelli P4000 about 100 miles ago. Intermittent short on the wipers I have not looked into. 3 issues are common on this vintage Jag and they have been addressed: 1) The Fuel Tank has been removed and resealed after 25 plus years this is important. 2) The distributor was remove and the weights that spin out to adjust the timing have been cleaned and lubricated. 3) The fuel injector hoses have all been replaced as they get brittle and leak over many years. Many V12 fires have happened this way. There is a lien with a balance of about $1200 that will need to be paid off so it will take a few days to clear. Feel Free to come take her for a test drive. If you are new to Jags or V12 engines ask me anything you wish. I have owned many of these fine cars over the years and enjoy passing on info and tips to keep these on the road. I'm starting this no reserve auction at the value of the new paint job so don't miss out. This particular rare model I have enjoyed the most when driving down the road and some guy in his $120k Mercedes AMG is rubber necking to see what the heck I am driving and the V12 emblem on the back usually speaks for itself. Too Much Fun !!! Princess Di Had this exact car except the factory installed rear seats so the kids could join her. (wives like this story) An informed Jag guy asked if there was a hard top for the rear section. I do not have one for it. I have seen them on occasion on ebay, but never saw the need for one. Fair Warning to anyone looking at a Jag from the 80's That has been sitting in a garage with very low miles may be in for a surprise. These cars need to be driven Period !!! All those items done to this car already, will need to be done to a garage queen, little old lady car. The 25 year old Radiator Hoses, Fuel Lines, Master Cylinder, Gas Tank, Shocks, Rack bushings, Belts, will in a short time need to be replaced or serviced. Do not overspend and on top of that get nickeled and dimed to death over the next few years. This is the one to buy Very Low No Reserve Opening Bid. The absolute right color, New paint and the Rare XJ-SC Version of a soon to be collector car. Buy this car and keep $4k in your pocket compared to similar cars for sale. I have 100% Feedback over 10 years on ebay so bid with confidence................... On Jun-24-13 at 08:25:44 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had several questions on this so I will respond here...... Of course I will coordinate with you and your shipper to make the car available for pick up. Thanks for all the questions everyone.
