The seller offers for sale a 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC Cabriolet with automatic transmission and a 3.6-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine. This rare variant of the XJ-S was built in limited numbers and has been owned by the seller since 2004. The car has been kept garaged ever since and carefully maintained, with regular servicing and recent mechanical investment of around £4,000, including new tyres, brake pads, callipers, and handbrake. The engine runs quietly and smoothly, delivering the refined power typical of Jaguar’s straight-six units. Finished in its original silver paintwork, the car presents in very good condition with only minor imperfections such as a small rear chrome bumper touch-up. The interior retains its original semi-leather upholstery and walnut trim, all in clean, well-preserved condition. It starts easily, produces no smoke, and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly.
The Jaguar XJ-SC (Cabriolet) was produced between 1983 and 1988 and represents a transitional model between the classic XJ-S coupé and the later full convertible. Featuring removable roof panels and a folding rear section, it offered open-air motoring while retaining structural rigidity and refinement. Built in limited numbers, the XJ-SC has become one of the rarest modern Jaguars, appreciated by collectors for its distinctive design and low production figures. The combination of luxury, performance, and craftsmanship makes it an appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking both exclusivity and comfort.

It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
