Sellers description:
VIN SAJJNACC8CC127577
UP FOR AUCTION IS MY PERSONAL 1982 JAGUAR XJ-SC CABRIOLET. THIS CAR IS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2009 WITH 52066 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS WAS A ONE OWNER CAR ORIGINALLY OWNED BY A DEFUNCT EXOTIC CAR DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT AN AUCTION AND HAVE OWNED AND GARAGED IT SINCE THEN. I NOW HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO PROJECT AT A PRICE I SIMPLY CANNOT REFUSE SO I'M SELLING THE JAG.

THE WEIRD FACT ABOUT THIS CAR IS THAT THE STATE OF TEXAS REGISTERS THIS CAR AS A 1982, CONFUSED THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN I RAN A CARFAX AND IT INDICATED THE CAR DIDN'T ARRIVE IN THE US TILL 1986. I FURTHER RESEARCHED THE CAR AND HAD IT CONFIRMED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CABRIOLET REGISTER. MY CAR WAS FEATURED ON THE WEBSITE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THEREAFTER. THESE ARE RARE CARS ONLY BUILT FROM JUNE 1982 - APRIL 1988. THERE WERE ONLY 5013 OF THESE CARS BUILT.

ANYWAY, ABOUT THE CAR, IT IS REGISTERED IN TEXAS AS A 1982, IT IS A CABRIOLET OR "CABBY" VERSION. THE REAR OF THE TOP FOLDS DOWN AS A CONVERTIBLE WOULD WITH THE TWO REMOVABLE TARGA TOP PANELS EXPOSING THE ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. ORIGINAL AM/FM CASSETTE, AC, PS, PB, PW, ALL LEATHER INTERIOR, DRIVER SEAT NEWLY REUPHOLSTERED, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, "BIG SIX" SIX CYLINDER ENGINE, MICHELIN TIRES, 2ND SET OF WHEELS WILL GO WITH THE SALE, TWO ADDITIONAL SETS OF ORIGINAL JAG FLOOR MATS AND BOOT COVER.

IT'S A GREAT CAR FOR SOMEONE TO FINISH OFF AND MAKE THEIR OWN. IT IS SOLID AND DRIVES VERY SMOOTH. LOTTA PUNCH AND HUGS THE ROAD.

THIS IS A GREAT CAR AND WILL SERVE WELL FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
