Highlights
- Lesser seen US-spec Targa convertible
- US import with all VAT and duties paid
- Sports an attractive interior, upholstered in blue leather
The Appeal
With a smooth and powerful 5.3-litre V12 engine, the Jaguar XJ-S is ideally suited to long distance grand touring. Not many Targa-roofed cars were sold, making them one of the more unusual XJ-S variants on the road today.
This 1987 example looks very striking with white paintwork, chrome wire wheels and an attractive blue leather interior.
The History and Paperwork
- Imported from the United States of America
- Left-hand drive, with US-spec features such as the high level rear brake light

- Carfax report present which suggests the odometer to be accurate

The Interior
- Blue leather upholstery really suits the car and looks great next to the veneers
- Without the rear seats you’d find in the coupé there’s ample luggage space besides the already capacious boot
- The veneered dashboard adds to the opulent atmosphere and we notice some slight delamination in places
- We noted some indentations to the top of the dashboard as well
- We’re informed this car is equipped with air conditioning
- Overall, this is a great place to be while watching continents drift by
The Exterior
