Jaguar XJ-SC Targa 2+2

The Jaguar XJS. A car that had a big task; succeeding the E-type. The XJS showed clear character changes compared to its predecessor. Where the E-type distanced itself with sportiness, the XJS placed comfort high on the agenda. Speed ​​was not forgotten, however; where the E-type only got the 12 cylinder much later, the XJS was immediately equipped with the well-known 5.3 liter V12 block from Jaguar.

The manual transmission was available for a while, but given the focus on luxury and comfort, it quickly disappeared again. The V12 (Mark II) provided quite good specifications with 296 hp. The Jag drives to 100 in 6.3 seconds and has a top speed of over 250 km/h. In addition to the technical improvements of the Mark II, the exterior was also refreshed with chrome on the bumpers, new rims and wood inlay for the interior.

Our Jaguar XJ-SC is a later addition to the XJS line-up. Normally the Targa option meant that you had to give up the back seat. However, from 1985 onwards there was a temporary option where you could order the 2+2 Targa. The total production number of these cars is around 600 units. This together with the low mileage (88,984 km), fully traceable history and condition; A unique collector's item!
