The Appeal

Somewhat of a halfway house between the XJ-S Coupé and its convertible sibling, the targa-topped XJ-S-C was Jaguar's first foray into removing the roof of its capable GT. Many buyers held out for the release of the conventional convertible, so XJ-S-Cs are rare, with only around 5,000 made and only a smattering of survivors today.

This 1988 example looks very good for its age and is nicely presented throughout. The Jag comes with a clean CARFAX warranting the low indicated mileage. All duties and VAT have been paid upon import from the United States, so it's now time for someone new to register this car in their country of choice.
