Jaguar XJS CABRILOET (1988)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

This is a very nice example of a very clean 1988 Jaguar XJSC. A total of 2000 sold in the United States from 1986 to 1988. This is truly a dream come true for the serious XJS-C connoisseur! I have driven this car very little in the past year and a half, so this is why I am selling it now.
This vehicle has only 62, 000 original miles!!!! This car truly looks like it was well loved and cared for!
The car is painted in the very Stunning Arctic Blue Metallic base coat clear coat (factory code JFE) and is in very good condition. The color is certainly is a very appropriate for this XJSC because it really shows off the beautiful style of this car. The paint color has kept its deep luster through all those years; it has been regularly detailed.
The interior accoutrements of a Jaguar are legendary. A dashboard that deserves the name, with honest-to-goodness burled walnut wood and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, here nicely preserved. This automobile has always been garaged; it has never been smoked in! All that old-world craftsmanship meets modern day technology, though: nestled between wood and leather, a vehicle information center supplies the driver with valuable information.

The engine is detailed when new valve cover, intake, and exhaust gaskets were replaced. The air conditioner blows cold but I think the relay or switch needs to be replaced because sometimes the compressor clutch does not engage. The T-top panels and rear hard-top are removable making this an “open air” car. All of the soft tops are in the trunk covered with their original storage bags. Included are all of the owners’ manuals and original service paperwork delivered with the car. Truly a rare find!

The exhaust, tires, and wire wheels are in very good condition. The battery is less than a year old.

With the prices of Jaguar E-types going through the roof, the collectors will very shortly turn their attention to the next affordable model, the XJS / XJSC. Values of clean original cars have steadily increased, so don’t miss this opportunity to buy what I hope will most likely become a true future classic!



HISTORY
Created as successor to the legendary E-Type and the last model designed with input from the firm's founder, the legendary Sir William Lyons, the XJS is actually more than just a replacement. It is a Grand Tourer par excellence, the finest mode of transportation for two people wishing to travel fast and in style.
Produced for over two decades, from 1977-1998, a few special iterations of the XJS have already attained classic car status, among them the rare XJSC, or Cabriolet. Just 3, 864 of these were built, V12-powered Cabs were manufactured between 1983 and 1988.
The XJS-C came in one flavor only: fully loaded. Authentic window sticker shows factory MSRP of $45, 480.00, on par with contemporaries Mercedes-Benz 560SL and Porsche 911 Carrera--and quite a bit of cash, 25 years ago.
The XJSC can be configured as a Landaulet convertible, a Targa, or a Coupe. Additionally, the rear folding soft-top can be replaced by a fixed roof panel with heated glass window.
Great vehicle for collectors who want an extraordinarily rare, original, clean and beautiful JAGUAR for their collection! The XJSC were designed for Royalty,
This is your chance to own one of this kind! It is truly a unique vehicle. A very rare model to find in this nice of a condition!
