Highlights:

– 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine, petrol, five-speed Getrag manual transmission
– Rare XJS-C targa-style cabriolet finished in white
– Fitted with a factory hard top and supplied with two roof panels

The seller offers for sale this 1985 Jaguar XJS-C, powered by a 3.6-litre six-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed Getrag manual transmission. Finished in white, this XJS-C is the desirable cabriolet version fitted with a factory hard top, supplied with two roof panels and the associated fittings. According to the seller the car has benefited from extensive work, including a new complete clutch, six new adjustable gas shock absorbers, all new front and rear silent blocks, a rear anti-roll bar mounted on special links for improved handling, and a new stainless sports exhaust system described as giving a fuller sound. New injection units have been fitted, along with new spi joints for the differential, a new battery and a fresh imitation-wood veneer on the centre console. The car rides on 16-inch Jaguar XJS alloy wheels with new Michelin tyres, and a set of original 15-inch wheels is also included. A toolkit, roof cover and radio with electric aerial are present. The recorded mileage is 130,000 km.

The Jaguar XJS was produced for more than two decades and became a refined grand tourer that blended long-legged performance with unmistakable British character. The rare XJS-C cabriolet, with its targa-style roof arrangement, is among the more sought-after variants, offering open-air motoring together with the option of a rigid hard top for colder months. Combined with the five-speed Getrag manual gearbox, this specification gives the car an engaging, sporting feel that many enthusiasts prize.

This example is described by the seller as being in good condition and ready to view and drive. With its comprehensive list of recent mechanical work, factory hard top and two sets of wheels, it presents as a well-sorted and usable classic Jaguar cabriolet.
