1985 Jaguar XJ-SC HE
Cool car in family
ownership from 1992; groovy TWR wheels fitted; only c.1,300 miles covered
in the past 17 years
Supplied new by Appleyard of
Harrogate in August 1985 to Richardson & Co. of Manchester, the car was
originally registered 66 HAR this XJ-SC HE V12 Cabriolet is of the targa top
variant with removable roof sections.
Finished in Bordeaux Red with
doeskin hide interior the car rides on a set of Speedline alloy wheels although
the originals are included and with us.
Showing 96,230 miles, the car has
covered little mileage in the past few years bar annual outings for an MOT
covering less than 600 miles in the last 8 years with a period of six
or seven years off the road prior to that and less than 1,000 miles covered
in the last 15 years. The former owners loved the car from 1992 until the former
owner's death in 2018 when it passed to his wifes name.
Within the
history file, we find the V5C showing four former keepers (one being the
vendor’s late husband), two sets of keys, the owner’s pack with service
book showing nine old stamps, the last in 1992 at 78,406 miles, some 16 old
MOTs dating back to 1992 and file of invoices for parts and routine maintenance
dating from 2016 back to 1991 plus an XJS parts catalogue.
Since purchase from us last summer, the vendor has undertaken more
than £2,000 worth of recommissioning work including £1,747 spent in November
2021 on a new OSF brake calliper, welding to NSF floor, a service including new
rear axle oil, wax oil of the underside, new OSF track rod end, wheel alignment
a new front shocker top bushes at 96,199 miles.
In addition to the above,
most recently, the vendor also spent a further £409 on cleaning of washer
jets and pipework, MOT and a new battery in October 2022. The current
MOT, valid until October 2023 recorded no advisories which bodes well for the
new owner.
Ideal for some clement Spring-time adventures and gentle use
given its covered such little mileage in recent years, this XJS-C looks most
appealing value at the enticing guide.
