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...................

Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
