The Appeal
The Jaguar XJ-SC Targa represents one of the most distinctive and rare variants of the XJ-S lineage, offering a unique combination of open-air freedom and structural rigidity that neither pure coupes nor convertibles could match. With its removable roof panels and soft rear section (landau), this 1988 example delivers the quintessential British grand touring experience with a versatility that was ahead of its time.
This particular XJ-SC stands out for its low mileage, showing just 33,882 miles and retaining most of its original paintwork. Its mechanical integrity was recently proven during a 1,200 km journey completed in one go, demonstrating the reliability of its 5.3-litre V12 engine. With comprehensive checks to the suspension, electrical system, and brakes, plus a new steering rack and soft top, this Jaguar offers the opportunity to acquire a mechanically sound, well-preserved example of this increasingly collectible model.
