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

Had a Wooded Steering Wheel sent from England for over $500

New CD/Stereo and 4 speakers installed (Sounds great even with the tops off) Sony

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.

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.

Feel Free to come take her for a test drive.

I'm starting this no reserve auction at the value of the new paint job so don't miss out.
