1988 Jaguar Xjsc V12 Landaulet Convertible Rare Special Edition No Reserve on 2040-cars

1988 Jaguar XJS C V12 Targa/Convertible This was Jaguar's response to
demands for an open-top XJS. They adopted a stylish Targa top, cleverly
concealing a substantial roll hoop in the interests of maintaining rigidity and
safety. Two removable panels could be stored easily in the trunk and the new car
featured a pair of luggage lockers topped by a parcel shelf in place of the
Coupe's two rear seats. They are quite rare, especially in the V-12
configuration.
This example is in very nice
overall condition and has all the bits and pieces for the different
configurations. All of the gauges work, as does
the stereo and AC. There is a bit of wear on the
drivers seat, but given its age I would say it’s well above average. The paint
is shiny and smooth. I see no evidence of an accident or repairs to the body.
The one issue I have noticed is an intermittent drivers side window. As of now
it is in the up position and will not go down. I’m not sure if it’s a window
switch, regulator or motor. The removable Targa tops are in
excellent condition and I see no sign of water leakage.
It starts and runs very well.
Brakes feel great and it goes down the road straight and true. It does not
smoke and the motor sounds great. This car has all of the books, spare, tools
and other goodies that it originally came with. It even has the original
cassette tape extolling the virtues of Jaguars finery as well as the original
touch-up paint. I can’t even remember the last
time I saw one of these XJS C’s, if you are in the market, this is a great
example!
As always, feel free to call or
email with any questions. Inspections are welcome, BEFORE
the end of auction. We can arrange shipping anywhere
in the US or worldwide. Call Josh 503-475-8078 or

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee season 2 opens with Sarah Silverman and Jag E-Type
Sat, 15 Jun 2013Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
Jaguar buys world's largest collection of British cars
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Whether you're looking at Bertone going bankrupt or Spyker facing (and subsequently resolving) a large tax bill, it's saddening to see an automaker having to sell off its factory collection. That's why we're glad to report that there are still some acquiring historic vehicles from their pasts. Like Jaguar, which has just bought the largest private collection of classic British cars in the world.
The collection of 543 cars was painstakingly assembled by one James Hull, a British dentist with some 50 dental clinics to his name across the UK and who was keen to find the right buyer to take possession of his life's work and preserve it for years to come.
Of those 543 cars, the majority are of British origin, including over 130 Jaguars. The collection includes seven XK120s, several C- and D-Types, a rare XKSS, eight E-Types, thirty Mark-series Jaguar sedans, nineteen XJS coupes and convertibles, some twenty XJ sedans as well as some pre-war SS models and Swallow sidecars and coachbuilt specials from the company's early days. Among the many noteworthy examples are a rare SS100, an alloy-bodied XK120 and an MK X owned by company founder Sir William Lyons himself, as well as Winston Churchill's Austin, Elton John's Bentley, and racing driver and motorcycle rider Mike Hailwood's E-Type.
