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.
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.
I'm starting this no reserve auction at the value of the new paint job so don't miss out.
I have 100% Feedback over 10 years on ebay so bid with confidence...................

2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT takes fiercest feline further [UPDATE]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013If there were any car to overshadow the 542-horsepower Jaguar XJR that's coming to the New York Auto Show, this is it. Meet the Jaguar XKR-S GT - a street-legal, higher-performance version of the already hardcore XKR-S that will be headed to North America in very limited quantities. Only 30 will be offered on our continent, with 25 earmarked for the United States and the remaining five going to Canada. The cost of entry? $174,000 when it goes on sale this August.
What that gets you is a coupe that is, without any doubt, ready to attack any racetrack it might encounter. The XKR-S' supercharged 5.0-liter V8 has not been upgraded in terms of power - not that 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque is anything to sneeze at - but instead, Jaguar focused on tuning the bits of the car that help effectively put all that grunt to the ground. There's a new hood with rows of louvers to aid in engine cooling, and elsewhere on the car's body, you'll find carbon fiber on the redesigned front air splitter, dive planes, extended wheel arch spats, as well as a new rear diffuser, an aluminum front under tray and an absolutely massive wing out back to keep downforce to a maximum.
Underneath that hot body are retuned and height-adjustable adaptive dampers; spring rates have been increased by 68 percent in front and 25 percent at the rear versus a standard XKR-S. Most of the front and rear suspension geometry has been upgraded, larger carbon ceramic brakes have been fitted at all four corners, and wider 20-inch forged alloy wheels are found here, wrapped in Pirelli Corsa tires - 255/35-series rubber in front and 305/30-series stuff out back. There's also a revised active exhaust system, which should only improve the already thunderous roar coming out the back of the Jag coupe, and a faster steering rack has been added for improved agility.

Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Jaguar's future product plans keep on slipping, slipping, slipping onto the internet, and the latest on it's entry-level luxury challenger is a 2015 due date. According to Automobile magazine, "most significant game-changer from Coventry" will be arriving on the same PLA platform that supports the Jaguar XJ and 2013 Range Rover. Kacher says the small sedan has already got the green light as codename X760, and will bow first as a four-door sedan, then as a crossover a year later.
This puts a date to a recent Autocar report that a small sedan and crossover were in the works. We've been getting reports of and concepts for a successor to the X-Type ever since Tata bought Jaguar - like the Bertone B99 concept last year, and this enthusiast concept more recently - since everyone knows it's what has to happen for "a new Jaguar" to succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what the English maker comes up with; if it remains true to form, it could be one of the few luxury competitors whose distinct model each look, well, truly distinct.
