April 08, 2016 on eBay USA website . Asking USD $ 5,000 as a "Buy-It-Now Price" with 113,504 miles. 

1988 Jaguar XJ-SC Cabriolet V-12 ONLY 150 MADE. You are bidding on a 1988 Jaguar XJ-SC Cabriolet V-12. The car runs fine, it will however need a fuel pump shortly as the one that is installed acts up from time to time. Installation of a new fuel pump is super easy as the pump is located in the trunk between the spare tire and battery, there are only 2 wires and 2 hoses attached to the pump. Pumps may be found online from $50.00 on up depending on the quality that you want. I purchased this car in 2008 from a local aftermarket Jaguar Parts and Repair shop who in turn purchased it from the original owner. I got a great deal on the car since I worked at the shop on a part-time as needed basis. The car is supposed to be one of 150 made in the model year 1988, since Jaguar wanted to start making a true convertible and not a cabriolet. The Original Owner bought the car new and at about 75,000 miles lost compression on one of the cylinders in the engine. My shop purchased the car with the intention that the shop owner was going to fix or replace the motor and drive it himself. The shop owner stored the car until 2008 when he decided to simply put a Jaguar crate motor in the car rather than try to take apart and fix the existing motor. So in short, THE MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR. I purchased the car from the owner as he was going through a divorce and needed money more than he needed the car. My life has become to hectic for me to continue to enjoy the car so now its time to send the car along to a new owner that will care for the car as it should be cared for. Upon purchasing the car I added a custom steering wheel, European Head light kit, aftermarket stereo (we still have the original, it will be sent with the car) Re-treated the top since it was starting to fade and we have more of the treatment solution that will go with the car. I added late model Lattice type wheels. Replaced most of the exterior bulbs with LED bulbs. Had new ALUMINUM clips made for the rear top to fasten to since the original plastic clips were cracking and about to break. The car was converted to 134A A/C. The A/C is currently not working, see details below. The battery is less than a year old, and the tires are in good shape. The care does have the " automatic" seatbelts and they seem to be working fine, the car will come with the bypass clips for the seatbelt to make them stationary and not automatic. The car comes with both tops, the hard top which is pictured with the glass window and the soft top which once installed would fold down manually like a convertible. BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REWORKED since it is in poor condition, the car does come with all pieces associated with both tops. The T-Tops are in great shape and go in and out easily. Now for the problems. A/C compressor will need either a new clutch or compressor replaced altogether, however this car uses the old GM A-6 compressors and those are readily available. The A/C vaccum actuators will need to be replaced, these are located beside the glove box and when they fail, the A/C sytem goes into default mode which is "defrost" so when this happens you only get cold air out of the defrost vent. The window regulator on the driver's door will need to be looked at and possibly replaced, you can however assist the window up and down by hand. Also the window button is reversed, probably a wire a the motor got switched at one point when we looked at the regulator. The cotton stitching on the seats has let go and the seats will need to be reworked. We only have part of the owners manual, "pictured". There is rust damage on the bottom corners of the wheel openings "see pictures". A large scratch on driver side fender / hood about a foot behind the head light.  The moulding on the fender gap by the windshield has puckered but would be easy to fix and the chrome on the bottom corners of the windshield has come up a bit but this would be easy to fix as well. This vehicle has many of the quirks and issues that you would expect from an 1988 model, it is a perfect project car.
