NO RESERVE - 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC Targa Coupe 5.3L V12 (LHD)

Highlights

  • Lesser seen US-spec Targa convertible
  • US import with all VAT and duties paid
  • Sports an attractive interior, upholstered in blue leather

The Appeal

With a smooth and powerful 5.3-litre V12 engine, the Jaguar XJ-S is ideally suited to long distance grand touring. Not many Targa-roofed cars were sold, making them one of the more unusual XJ-S variants on the road today.
This 1987 example looks very striking with white paintwork, chrome wire wheels and an attractive blue leather interior.

The History and Paperwork

  • Imported from the United States of America
  • Left-hand drive, with US-spec features such as the high level rear brake light
  • We’re informed that this car is matching numbers
  • The odometer indicates 50,233
  • Carfax report present which suggests the odometer to be accurate
  • US Title and European import documents present
  • We’re informed all VAT and import duties have been paid
  • Accompanied by a servicing invoice

The Interior

  • Blue leather upholstery really suits the car and looks great next to the veneers
  • Without the rear seats you’d find in the coupé there’s ample luggage space besides the already capacious boot
  • The veneered dashboard adds to the opulent atmosphere and we notice some slight delamination in places
  • We noted some indentations to the top of the dashboard as well
  • We’re informed this car is equipped with air conditioning 
  • Overall, this is a great place to be while watching continents drift by

The Exterior 

  • Distinctive white paintwork with coachlines
  • Sits upon chromed wire wheels
  • US-spec quad headlamps and high level rear brake light
  • Soft top convertible roof and tonneau cover
  • Trims with rubber inserts protect the doors from other car doors when parked

The Mechanics 

  • Fuel injected, 5.3-litre V12 engine
  • Automatic gearbox sending power to the rear wheels
  • Equipped with cruise control
  • These smooth and quiet engines are great for long distance cruising, with plenty of power on tap should it be required
  • We’re informed this car is equipped with power steering

Summary

If you’ve always wanted a 12 cylinder car in the garage and enjoy long road trips, what better car to fulfil your requirements than this fantastic Jaguar.
