ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES
We purchased this car for my wife in 1997 from the local Jaguar dealer.
It had been traded in by original owner. He was an elderly gentleman who owned a radio station here in St. Louis
Car has been in storage in my garage for the last couple of years and I need the space.
My insurance company values this car at over $12,000 but my reserve is much less.
Call me if you are interested. Chris at 314/650-9839
As I said this car is fairly rare. ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES
Please note that one of the pics used shows a close up of the soft top down. I "borrowed" this pic from the web. In this photo you can see that the wheels are not WIRE WHEELS like are on mine
I did this just to give you a better idea of what car looks like with soft top installed and in the down position.
Here are some facts from researching it's VIN number:
European VIN is SAJ-JNVC W4JP142440
The first three positions denote the Manufacturer, the SAJ stands for Jaguar, United Kingdom.
Position 4 denotes the Marque, the J stands for Jaguar (If you had a Daimler car that digit would be a D).
Position 5 denotes the Model, the N stands for the XJ-S.
Position 6 denotes the Class, the V stands for USA Spec with Manual Seat Belts.
Position 7 denotes the Body Type, the C stands for Cabriolet (You officially have one of the 5013 genuine Cabriolet cars built).
Position 8 denotes Engine Type, the W stands for 5.3 liter V-12 “B” engine. (The 5.3 V-12 engines were coded with an A, B, C, D, E, or F depending on the model year or the market the car was made for).
Position 9 denotes the Transmission and Steering, the 4 stands for Automatic and Left-Hand Drive.
Position 10 denotes the Year of Build, the J stands for 1988.
Position 11 denotes the Manufacturing Plant, the C stands for the Browns Lane Plant in Coventry, England.
Positions 12-17 denote the Vehicles Unique Number 142440.
The Cabriolets were special as they all started out as a Coupe body first but then had the modifications made to them to become Cabriolets.
About every 4 or 5 cars coming down the line were designated to become Cabriolets.
This car was completed, or went what they call “off-trim” on June 08, 1987. (Mine went “off trim” on Wednesday, March 19, 1986).
There were 8 Cabriolets finished on June 08, the same day as this one and this was the 6th one on that day.

Jaguar has something special planned for Goodwood
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's been barely a week since JLR announced its new Special Operations division, dedicated to creating limited-run halo cars and custom creations for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Now the British automaker has confirmed the debut of the division's first project.
We don't know what it is, exactly, that Jaguar will be bringing to the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week, but we bet it'll be exciting. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on some kind of hot-rod F-Type, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alongside whatever JLR Special Operations has got cooking, Coventry will also be bringing the new F-Type R Coupe and XFR-S Sportbrake to run up the hill alongside a whole slew of classic and racing Jaguars, including a pair of D-Types, a Group 44 E-Type, a Group A XJS and the reunion of XJR-9 and Andy Wallace that last saw each other on the top step of the podium at Le Mans in 1988.
Xcar weighs in on the five best-sounding modern cars
Fri, Jul 24 2015Getting behind the wheel of a well-balanced vehicle can be a wonderfully visceral experience, thanks to the combined feeling of things like the weight of the steering, the bite of the brakes, and, of course, the roar of the engine. Unfortunately, many of the sensations of driving require actually being in the driver's seat to understand them, but thankfully the intoxicating noise of a beautifully tuned internal combustion engine can be shared with everyone. In a new video, Xcar shares their opinion on the five best-sounding modern performance cars. The list is a symphony of horsepower. As opposed to keeping all of the vehicles brand new, Xcar actually picks a few that are recently off the market. They're all definitely champs, though. While the list itself is well stocked, you might be able to argue with the specific order, and it would be nice to hear a few participants from outside of Europe for a collection like this one, too. No matter. Every listener is sure to find something they like in the bunch, though. Turn up the volume and enjoy.
Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.
