I bought the car 10 months ago, as the original owner traded it. I use it as a daily driver and I have done regular oil changes, replaced the serpentine belt, radiator grommets and new windshield. The tires are the correct Pirelli tires for this car and are about a year old with very little wear.

Jaguar : XJS XJ-SC/Cabriolet Limited build Jaguar XJ-SC - Extensively Modified
$4,300
Alexandria, Virginia
Forced sale due to my divorce and move out of state. I'm down to the wire as the car is at my old house in Alexandria, VA and soon can't be as that's selling too, and I've been lucky enough to have two eBay buyers in a row back out without even seeing it. I don't think you'll find anything else this nice with this mileage at this price. I'm not there with the car, but have made arrangements for someone to meet the buyer for pickup. ========== This 1988 XJ-SC was built in August 1987 and is one of only about 5,000 of this model built from 1985-1988. There are only about 1,600 documented as still on the road worldwide. I have extensively modified it to include a 4 speed automatic overdrive custom racing transmission in place of the GM T300 3 speed that generally comes with them (less than 15,000 miles on it), expanded air intakes and exhaust, custom wheels and low profile Z-rated tires, all black plastic in the cab replaced with wood, custom steering wheel, a remote controlled digital tuner with CD and sub-woofer, dyed carpets and leather so the entire cab is black and blue (no tan roof liner from the window line up like factory standard), lots of computer adjustments, a LoJack GPS retrieval system and more. I've got about $30,000 in it and on last track check it did 0-60 in 7 seconds, which is phenomenal for this model. As a tourer, it's happiest on the highway of course and the 50-70 acceleration is lots of fun with this transmission to back up the engine's power. It's a great hybrid of classic style and modern performance. The body is in excellent shape with one treated rust bubble area about the size of a silver dollar behind the front driver's wheel well. It hasn't even cracked the paint and has not expanded in the 13 years I've had the car. It was treated from the inside. The convertible top is a combination targa top and detachable rear 1/4 hard top (pictured in most of the images), and the removable hard top can be swapped out for a canvas rag top, which I have and will come with the car (pictured in the last image before I modified the car). It's been garaged long enough that the wax has accumulated dust and begun to yellow a bit on the vinyl trim parts. It just needs elbow grease there, but again I'm not with the car. There is a slight attachment bend in the vinyl of the pillar covering at your left temple when in the driver's seat. It's barely noticeable and the only interior flaw. The engine is the original V-12 with a Lucas ignition system. The ignition system wiring is insulated now so there is no problem with bad wiring from the heat of the V as you might read about as common with this system. I find it a much better system than the alternative Marelli ignition introduced the following year (which can leak gas and cause engine fires when it ages due to the design). I have a big book of just about any repair you could make to the car that will come with it compiled through forums with other restoration folks. I do have the original wheels with tires still on them and the original steering wheel if you want them. I'm a certified Jaguar Concourse judge and have rebuilt three Jaguars. This one is my baby and while I did not have a lot of time with her the last few years due to my job, I never considered making her a turn-over. I'm just unable to take her with me due to the location of my move. She's reliable, strong and lots of fun. I hope you can give her a good home! ==========Known/possible mechanical issues: May need an alignment. Has a shimmy over 40 or so. It's possible this is a tire spot from sitting too long and not being driven long enough to round them out again as the tires are very low profile with strong belts, but I'm not there to drive it so haven't tried to push it past the shimmy speed to determine if it's the tires or alignment. So, just in case I'm putting this here so there are no surprises. But, I'm guessing it's the tires needing to be rounded out through driving as there's nothing that should throw it out of alignment sitting in a garage. The gas gauge is not accurate under half a tank. This is a pretty common issue with these. It's the tank floater. It can be fixed, but I've just never bothered as it gets good mileage with the new transmission (over 20 mpg mixed driving). I go a couple hundred miles before I worry about it and just fill it once it's down to about 3/8ths of a tank. All the other gauges are accurate and all the dash computer functions work, including the clock (rare). The cruise control doesn't work. I've never bothered looking into why as I have too much fun driving it myself without any help with the new racing transmission. But, if I had to guess I'd guess the stalk switch on the blinker. That's the most common issue and I have checked the bellows, power to the console switch, etc. Everything else appears to be in working order. There was an erratic idle when fully warmed up and in drive (idle only, drive only - driving it's smooth, park/neutral are smooth), but after cleaning up the throttle position sensor I did not have any trouble my last drive with her before moving. if that turns up again, the TPS is an inexpensive and easily swapped out part and most likely the culprit. Again, I put it in here so there are no surprises just in case it comes back. That's about as honest as I can be. I had a compression test done on it when I bought it. Very strong. Although unnecessary due to its age, I had it emissions tested just for fun the last time I had it inspected and it ran through with flying colors. It's a very solid car. I wish I was closer to it to ensure everything was perfect, but with my work schedule time just got away from us the last few years and now I'm gone. I've priced it to reflect these issues based on the prices of cars with similar low mileage, without further consideration of the mods, and even lowered it beyond that in the hopes she'll go to someone who will love her. Happy bidding.
