February 15, 2017 on the eBay UK website. Current Bid is UKL 8,575 with 61,082 miles. Listing says "1986 JAGUAR XJ-SC.
A really nice example of this appreciating classic.

This is my late brothers car and it was his pride and joy. It is the very rare Cabriolet version with a 3.6 litre engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The car has just gone through an MOT and is in exceptional condition. The inside is full leather and everything works. It has the optional 2 plus 2 bench rear seat for the kids, so it makes a great family car.

The wheels have been refurbished and the paintwork is blemish free. The car drives beautifully and is surprisingly quiet and refined.

The roof is perfect and the roof panel bags are in the boot along with the tools etc.

I have all the paperwork, original bill of sale, old MOT's and service history.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy one of these appreciating classics.

I'm sure I haven't done it justice but it is a great car that needs a new loving home.

It has no faults but it is an XJS so it will need looking after to keep it this great condition".
