The Appeal
After a rocky introduction in 1975, the XJS has really hit its stride recently in terms of classic Jaguar status and kudos. Having recovered from the thankless task of following the E-Type and early quality gripes, the XJS family is surely set for a rosy and collectable future.
The best examples, of course, as the rarest ones. With only a shade over 5,000 of the XJ-SC model made, the numbers remaining in this 3.6L, manual configuration will run to dozens rather than hundreds.

The Interior
• The interior of this XJ-SC is a sumptuous and comfortable place and its all in excellent condition
• The grey leather, box pleated seats present in excellent condition with no areas of deterioration noted
• The centre console and door cards are dressed in the same supple grey leather and adorned with accents of maple veneer
• The token rear seats of the coupe were deleted in the XJ-SC in favour of a useful, carpeted luggage shelf with built in opening lockers and chrome luggage rail
• Carpets are in a grey wool, and all appear to be in equally fine fettle
• The owner has fitted the car with a very stylish Momo steering wheel but the originally fitted TWR leather wheel (pictured) is included
• The large boot contains the full-sized spare wheel and is carpeted in black
• Fitted with LED lights
• Fitted with LED lights
Much like the XJS itself, to our eyes the interior of this XJ-SC has really aged very well indeed. It offers the new luck owner just the right combination of retro appeal and practical usability. With the rear luggage shelf, rear map pockets and lidded lockers, there is some really useful space in here too. That’s before we even get to the enormous boot!
The Exterior
• The exterior of the XJ-SC is finished in a very attractive white colourway
• This looks great in concert with the black “B” pillars and black fabric roof panels
• The bright, metallic silver 16-inch TWR alloy wheels suit the car perfectly
• Bodywork is very well presented, and panel gaps are tight and true
• Light lenses, front and rear, appear to be in faultless condition and the glass work is free from any obvious imperfections
• The XJ-SC offers a number of roof configuration options
• These include one or both rigid roof panels removed, and rear folding hood section up or down
• The plastic rear window is in excellent, uncracked condition
• A black fabric tonneau is included which covers the rear hood section when it is down
White has always suited the XJS very well and it looks even better against the contrast of the black roof panels and rear hood. This is a great looking car and the distinctive TWR alloys really finish off a very eye-catching combination perfectly.
The Mechanics
• The XJ-SC was the first Jaguar to benefit from the fitment of the 3.6L, straight-six AJ6 engine
• Not that much less powerful than the V12 and usefully lighter, many consider this the pick of the XJS engines
• Power is fed to the rear wheels via a five speed Getrag manual gearbox – a classic combination
• The owner has had the XJ-SC regularly serviced and any other maintenance requirements have been addressed regardless of cost
• Unsurprisingly then this XJ-SC starts, idles and runs perfectly
• The powerful straight six, manual gearbox and lighter weight make for a great performance to economy ratio
The erstwhile AJ6, straight-six engine is beloved by XJS purists. This model was the first Jaguar to receive the engine as it was considered lower risk in such a low-volume model. The engine proved to be a gem. Smooth, powerful and characterful, it led many to question why the heavier, thirstier and more expensive to maintain V12 continued to be offered in the XJS.
Summary
If you are unfamiliar with the XJ-SC iteration of the XJS then you may be missing out. It has much to recommend it. It has a spacious and practical 2-seater cabin, doing away with the token rear seats of the coupe. It has significantly more rigidity and bodily integrity than the fully convertible XJS. In this configuration the AJ6 engine mated to the five-speed manual make for a compelling prospect.
This example is a real find too. Still in its original ownership some 36 years on and in beautifully presented and maintained condition throughout. Don’t miss your opportunity to be only the second owner of this delightful XJ-SC.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
