1987 Jaguar Xjsc V12 Nice Original Car Very Rare Targa Roof on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
This listing is for a very rare 1987 Jaguar XJSC. For those not familiar, the XJSC is a low production 2 seat targa / convertible. This Jag is red with a black interior and black top. The car was originally sold in Canada and the odometer is in kilometers. The vehicle has been in the US since 2002 and in California since 2009. and will be sold with a clean California title and current California smog. The current odometer reading is 60,100 kilometers (about 37k miles). I believe this to be the original mileage but have no way of knowing for sure. The vehicle will be sold "mileage exempt" (all cars over 10 years old sold in California are sold mileage exempt).
The Jag runs and drives well. The engine is strong and smooth and the transmission works like it should. The exterior of the car looks great. There are no dents or signs of rust. Paint looks nice with good shine. There may be a couple of very small paint blemishes, but the overall appearance is excellent. The top appears to be original and shows its age. It is fully functional and there are no tears, but the rear window is cloudy and the material is worn and discolored in some spots. The interior is very nice. The black leather looks great with no tears or signs of wear. Dash, door panels, and carpet are all in good shape. Negative issues: AC doesn't seem to be cold, oil pressure gauge doesn't work, and the radio recently stopped working. The car could probably use an alignment and the convertible top is worn. Overall this is a nice rare car that runs well. With a new top this car would be a "9" cosmetically. Winning bidder must pay a $500 non refundable deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auctions end. The balance is payable in cash or certified funds within 1 week. Car must be picked up within 10 days. California buyers are responsible for registration ($130) and sales tax and will be issued title and registration in their name. Out of state buyers will receive a clean California title and be responsible for tax and registration in their state. Buyer is responsible for pickup/transport of the vehicle. |

Jaguar hints at what might become of XK after F-Type's arrival
Wed, 02 Jan 2013Jaguar may move the company's XK further upmarket following the introduction of its forthcoming F-Type. The newcomer to the range easily shoulders the burden of carrying the Jaguar sportscar mantle, freeing up the XK to evolve in another direction. While speaking with Autocar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said there's an opportunity to grow the grand tourer both in size and luxury.
Whether that means the vehicle will retain its two-plus-two seating configuration or swell to offer buyers even more space remains to be seen. Either way, the future will likely see the XK soften its claws moving forward. And that's no bad thing. Jaguar has a long history of building luxurious grand tourers more content to soak up miles of highway than bounce from apex to apex.
What else is in store for the brand? Callum seems to have kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to acknowledge ongoing rumors of a Jaguar crossover beyond saying the brand "had to take notice" of the popularity of the luxury SUV market.
Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life - at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept. And now Jaguar has done it again with its C-X17.
Initially unveiled in electric blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar then rolled the crossover out again in liquid silver for the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Now the concept is back again at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China with a fresh coat of rose gold.
Looking decidedly more luxurious than the previous iterations, this gilded C-X17 concept also bears another change: while the previous versions featured a four-seat cabin, this one has been redone with a more conventional five-seat configuration that more buyers would likely go for. It's also got a new interactive infotainment system and another system that warns passengers of pedestrians or cyclists approaching from the rear before they open the door. Check it out in the high-res image gallery above and the video clip below for a closer look.
Jaguar to finish building six remaining Lightweight E-Types
Thu, 15 May 2014Back in February of 1963, Jaguar set about making a small run of lightweight E-Types. It recrafted the bodywork out of aluminum, shoehorned in a 3.8-liter straight-six with an aluminum block, stripped out the interior, removed the chrome trim and fitted lighter-weight side windows. The result was a 250-pound reduction in curb weight and a commensurate increase in performance, especially evident on the race track. The company originally set about building 18 examples, but only managed 12. The remaining six were allocated chassis numbers, but were never built. That is, until now.
Fifty years since the last of the original 12 lightweight E-Types were completed, Jaguar has announced that it is preparing to resume production and complete the final six examples. The company has assigned its top craftsmen to the job, who will build the half-dozen continuation Lightweights to the same exact specifications as the original dozen. Former sister-company and perennial arch-rival Aston Martin undertook a similar task (or at least authorized Zagato to do so) when it sanctioned four continuation examples of the original DB4 GT Zagato based on original chassis numbers in 1988, and another two based on original body shells and stock DB4 chassis in 1992.
Jaguar has not yet announced pricing and availability for the continuation Lightweights, but the first old-is-new example is set to debut this summer, whereupon Coventry will release further details. You can bet, though, that each one will be snapped up rather quick at just about any price the British automaker cares to put on them.
