The Appeal
Heralded as the return of the two-seater cabriolet, this XJ-SC was brought in as a stop gap for the XJS but rapidly proved incredibly popular. This was Jaguar's first open-top car since the legendary E-Type, and proved immediately successful. Rather than being a traditional convertible, it offered a fixed-profile silhouette, which ultimately helped maintain the XJS's ever-popular lines.
This particular 1987 example comes with an intriguing provenance, having been owned by a Baron and having just two registered keepers since new. Recently recommissioned after spending 20 years in dry storage, this XJ-SC presents is a handsome, well-presented car that's ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
