Just popped up for sale Feb 2014.
cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
Later for sale March 20, 2014 on Gumtree Australia website. Location Australia, Tasmania, Hobart. Was also listed on eBay Australia at the same time. 160,000 kilometers. Listing says "1985 JAGUAR XJ-SC 5.3 V12 CABRIOLET, AUS DELIVERED No. 95 of 189. An easy project for someone with more time than me. RARE AUS DELIVERED, GENUINE LOW KMS, XJRS TRIM, JAG SPORT WHEELS, WALKINSHAW SPOILER, QUAD HEADLIGHTS, EXCELLENT BRIDGESTONE TYRES. Factory details as follows. It is number 1,055 of 5,013 built. It is number 95 of 189 built to Australian spec. Body number 5V001431. Engine Number 8S 38275 SA. Gear Box Number 85 ZV 10542 (85 indicates year). Colour Tudor White (NDC 215). Build Date 01 Oct 1985, Despatch Date 11 Oct 1985. Last registered in Queensland in 2009 where it was purchased from a well known identity in the same condition for over double the reserve (receipts to prove). Mechanically it starts, drives, idles, shifts gear and stops but it will need a partial exhaust replacement, rear brake cylinder repaired, new belts (precautionary), a tune up/service and a new battery. Boot lining needs replacing as it has been gutted, I have the new carpet. Some of the wood needs lacquering. There are 3 rust bubbles (not breaking the surface and all easy access). There's no Aerial. One wheel has a small dent. No spare wheel. Everything else is minor issues, so I think if you paid someone to get it right and put 12 months rego it may cost a maximum of 5k, if you have time and the ability to tinker with it a maximum of 2k. I very likely have missed something but if it isn't listed above please don't hesitate in asking. I do recommend anyone interested to come and have a look. Number plates are not included".

I purchased this 1985 Jaguar XJ-SC is in 2015 after along period off the road. The car was re registered in Tasmania in 2016 after a 12 month overhaul; headgaskets; differential; steering column, exhaust and cooling system etc. It was driven from Hobart to Adelaide at Christmas time 2018 and it runs very well. Transmission is smooth. The car had its interior updated in 1992 and at the time was fitted with rear seats. The car has the detroit front lights. Suspension was overhauled in 2021. The car is in great condition overall. The car does not have an A/C compressor fitted but this could be easily done.
