1987 Jaguar XJSC-V12 Cabriolet

The car presented here is a very special survivor, being a fully documented, one-owner, extremely low-mileage Southern California Jag. As pampered as they come, it's truly a dream come true for the serious XJS-C connoisseur!

Car was special-ordered on October 5, 1986, and delivered to the original selling dealership, MOSS JAGUAR on 614 Chapala Street in Santa Barbara, Calif., two months later. Yes, the original order sheet is included with the astounding documentation, just like the loan agreement and dealer certificate of conformity.

Tom Jones's Jag, VIN *SAJNV3842HC135038* was purchased as the young neurosurgeon's gift to himself. After those interminably long years of study and 'round-the-clock internship, in 1986 the time had finally come to celebrate success and to pamper oneself with a great automobile. Well deserved! To call this car fully documented would be the understatement of the year. Original black leather pouch holds all manner of factory literature, including, but not limited to:

Window sticker

Owner's handbook

Passport to Service w/ all dealer stamps

Electrical data chart

Trip computer addendum

Capacities chart

Security radio information booklets

1987 Emissions warranty (California)

OEM tire warranty

Key code label

Stunning Arctic Blue Metallic (factory code JFE) certainly is a very appropriate color for the XJS. The factory original paint has kept its deep luster through all those years; it has been regularly detailed, and aside from a couple of minimal blemishes, there is nothing to take away from its beauty. If you work as an undercover agent for the FBI, this car is not for you. You'll definitely receive undivided attention in this Jag!

All factory recall and warranty work has been performed on this immaculate cat; every other needed item has always been promptly addressed, exceeding the dealer-prescribed maintenance schedule. Recent work included replacement of power steering pump and rack-and-pinion steering unit, intake manifold and valve cover gaskets, starter, battery, hood shocks, fuel lines, and injector wiring.

The interior accoutrements of a Jaguar are legendary. A dashboard that deserves the name, with honest-to-goodness burled walnut wood and a leather-wrapped volant, here immaculately preserved. Not a single crack mars the dash. This automobile has always been garaged; it has never been smoked in! All that old-world craftsmanship meets modern day technology, though: nestled between wood and leather, a space-age vehicle information center supplies the driver with valuable information. Factory Jaguar concert sound system with multiple speakers includes cassette deck. Automatic climate control lets you select a convenient ambient temperature, and the system will supply ample amounts of ice cold or super-heated air. Notice odometer reading of 30,392 actual miles. All gauges and warning lights work flawlessly. Seats, door panels, and console are covered with the finest, delightfully patinated Isis Blue hides. All lights work, including license plate and backup lights.

Undercarriage is virginal, confirming sheltered life of a Santa Barbara pussycat. Everything is original, down to the mufflers, which proudly show off their "British Leyland" logos.

We sold this rare Jaguar in March 2011 to a customer in Southern California.

This 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC V12 was sold new in California and remained registered in the state through the seller’s acquisition in 2021.

Features include a limited-slip differential, a blue soft top, removable roof panels, chrome-finished 15″ cross-spoke wheels, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The car was reportedly serviced in 2021 after five years in storage, and the starter was replaced in January 2022. This XJ-SC V12 shows 45k miles and is now offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is one of a reported 3,865 examples XJ-SC V12 examples produced between 1982 and 1988, and it is finished in Arctic Blue Metallic (JFE) and is equipped with a soft top that features dual panels up top along with a removable fabric panel aft of the roll bar. Additional equipment includes quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. Deteriorating clear coat is visible on the trunk lid, indentations are shown on the left-front fender and quarter panel, and additional photos of exterior imperfections are provided in the gallery below.

The bucket seats are trimmed in Isis Blue leather and are said to have recently been reupholstered. Burl walnut veneer accents the interior, and additional appointments include cruise control, an onboard computer, and automatic climate control. The AM/FM cassette stereo is inoperative, and the air conditioning portion of the automatic climate control system does not work.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 45k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The car is said to have been serviced in 2021 after approximately five years of storage, and the starter was replaced in January 2022. The car most recently passed the California emissions test in December 2022.
