Jaguar XJ-SC  1986   T-Tops and 1/2 soft top.

 

The rarest Production Jaguar ever.  Only 5013 units made worldwide for all model years and only 2007 imported to North America for all model years. 

I have been restoring this Jaguar for 3 years I have owned as many as FIVE 1980's Jags at one time and consider myself to be very knowledgeable on these cars.  I am thinning the heard some as I am looking to get into a used Bentley or Rolls. OK  so let's go over what has been done.

Car was just painted last week....YES  LAST WEEK !!!  I sold my Yacht to a gentleman that owns a body shop and worked a paint job into the deal.  The car looks Great.

New EBC Brake Pads all around

New Front Drilled and Slotted Rotors 

New Master Cylinder

Polyurethane Rack Bushings

Had a Wooded Steering Wheel sent from England for over $500

New CD/Stereo and 4 speakers installed (Sounds great even with the tops off) Sony

Birdseye Maple Dash inlay and ski slope and a top quality Dash cap

The seats bottoms are new and were originally a maroon color I used leatherique and had the skins dyed to factory color.  The seatbacks are from Pauls Jaguar here in Fort Lauderdale and he is well known across the US for his factory original hides. 

The Oil was changed less than 500 Miles ago with Castrol Syntec 20/50 for classic cars.  This is about the only oil I run in these as they have added Zinc protection package for old style tappets.  I bring this up to inform any novice to these cars that they hold 12 qts and at $8 a quart plus filter you have about 10,000 to go before you need to change it out. 

The car has Dayton Wire Wheels and I even purchased a Dayton for the spare in the trunk.

All the gauges work fine. 

The back soft top window has been replaced with new plastic and there are 2 boot covers for when the top is down.

I was told the AC needs to be recharged with R134 (so the conversion from R12 was done at sometime), but have never bothered as it is a convertible.

Dynamat sound proofing has been installed on the floors. with new factory floor mats about a year ago.

I purchased this car with the odometer reading  002004 (close to that anyway)  So at sometime the Odometer has been replaced

One more time  AT SOMETIME THE ODOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACED.  SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THIS CAR.  But it runs fine and always starts right up and LOOKS FANTASTIC. maybe able to find out through a car fax. 

I have never tuned up this engine so I would presume it could use one, but it runs fine.

Car should have an alignment and there is a small exhaust note coming from a mid section pipe (actually sounds good to me).

Tires are due at this point also.  I just changed one rear tire with a New Pirelli P4000 about 100 miles ago. 

Intermittent short on the wipers I have not looked into.

There is a lien with a balance of about $1200 that will need to be paid off so it will take a few days to clear. 

Feel Free to come take her for a test drive.

I'm starting this no reserve auction at the value of the new paint job  so don't miss out.

 

I have 100% Feedback over 10 years on ebay so bid with confidence...................

Jaguar Land Rover output at two UK plants hit by chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

LONDON — Output at two of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) British car factories will be temporarily halted from Monday, due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption, including a lack of semi-conductors, the firm said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors-owned company said. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up demand for semiconductor chips for use in electronics like computers, as people worked from home, and suppliers are struggling to adjust, hitting output at many automakers. Trade flows have also been affected. On Wednesday, carmaker Stellantis said it would replace digital speedometers with more old-fashioned analogue ones in one of its Peugeot models, as the fallout continues. Renault's finance chief said on Thursday that car production fell by tens of thousands of vehicles in the first quarter as a result of the shortage. Output at JLR's third British car factory in Solihull, central England, will continue, the company said. "We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimize the impact on customer orders wherever possible."  

Who picks car colors and materials? Designers like Hannah Custance

Tue, Dec 21 2021

As automotive journalists, we're often asked "how did you get that job?" People usually didn't even know you could do such a thing. In this 7 Questions series, we're highlighting other jobs in the automotive industry that you might not have heard about before. What do they do, how'd they get to do it and other questions about their particular corner of the car world. Slowly but surely, the automotive landscape is becoming more colorful. Look beyond the unrelentingly conservative palette of white, black and gray most buyers opt for and you'll see the increased use of exterior trim types beyond the usual chrome. There's gloss black, of course, but also other metallic finishes like gold or copper. Those can be found inside, too, where there's also an increase in colorful leathers and trims, innovative fabrics, new wood types and finishes, and greater creativity in general. So where is this change coming from? The answer is designers like Hannah Custance, the color and materials design manager for Jaguar Land Rover. Her team's latest effort is also its magnum opus, the 2022 Range Rover. Although saddled with the expectations that comes with one of the automotive industry's classic nameplates, the all-new Range Rover is also a celebration of cutting edge manufacturing and fashion-forward materials selection. We sat down with Hannah at the L.A. Auto Show to find out more about color and materials designers, how she ended up in the industry, and advice she might have for young designers out there. It has been condensed for brevity. Autoblog: What does a color and materials design manager to do?Hannah Custance: I basically look after a team of designers who design finishes for every A surface on the car. So, that could be exterior finishes. It could be interior trim materials, soft materials, hard materials, chromes, metals, woods, ceramic – that's one of the new ones – anything you can kind of touch and see is color material design. Autoblog: How early in the design process does your team become involved.Hannah: Right at the very start. In fact, we look at materials that don't have a product assigned to them or a car assigned to them. So, it takes actually a very long time for us to get materials approved and fully validated. We have to find suppliers that are willing to work in automotive and our test standards are incredibly high, some of the highest in the industry.

Jaguar could morph into an electric-only brand and explore new segments

Fri, Aug 21 2020

Jaguar is set to morph into an electric-only brand whose products will be aimed directly at Tesla's and Polestar's, according to a recent report. Its future range will allegedly include alternatives to the Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2. Nick Rogers, the head of Jaguar-Land Rover's engineering department, told British magazine Auto Express that a small electric Jaguar "would be great." His definition of small is different than, say, Smart's; don't expect the company to release an alternative to the ForTwo, or something along the lines of a Renault Twizy. Instead, he's likely referring to a model positioned below the XE, which is currently the smallest Jaguar, in terms of size. If approved, the car will be about the same size as a BMW 1 Series, though it might sit a little bit taller. Adding a few inches of ground clearance would give engineers more space to stuff a battery pack under the floor, while allowing its marketing department to reach a wider audience by presenting the hatchback as a crossover. "We need to think about that. That's a really cool space that we ideally want to be in, and ideally our customers want us to be in. It's extremely relevant at this time," he said. This isn't the first time we've heard that Jaguar is starting to think small. In June 2020, we reported the company is considering replacing the aforementioned XE and the XF with a single compact model that would almost certainly be offered as a hatchback and as a sedan. Jaguar's transformation into an electric-only manufacturer is allegedly the brainchild of Thierry Bollore, who will take the firm's reins in September. He recently led Paris-based Renault, which is also allocating huge resources to electrification. We know the next-generation XJ (shown in spy shots taken far north of the Arctic Circle) will be offered with an electric powertrain (though internal combustion variants will be available, too), and Auto Express learned an XE-sized battery-powered model placed in the Model 3's segment is very likely, too. Finally, at least for now, an electric SUV tentatively called J-Pace will reportedly enter production in the coming years. It's too early to tell what the future holds for the E-Pace, the F-Pace, and the XF, though we wouldn't be surprised if the latter does not get a replacement. Where the F-Type would fit in an electric-only range hasn't been decided yet; sealing its fate one way or another will be one of Bollore's first tasks.
