This 1988 Jaguar XJ-SC V12 is said to have been registered in Southern California since new, and remained under original ownership until purchased by its current and second owner in September 1998, who has since added 15k of the 86k shown miles. It is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Silver Birch over Buckskin leather. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, removable roof panels, 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels, heated seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This XJ-SC V12 is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with a factory owner’s manual, tool kit, clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Silver Birch and is equipped with a top that features dual removable panels along with a removable hardtop aft of the roll bar. Additional exterior appointments include quad headlights, front fog lights, chrome mirror caps, a power antenna, a heated rear window, and dual exhaust outlets. The selling dealer notes that an uninstalled soft top and case accompany the car.

The 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs.

The cabin features heated seats upholstered in Buckskin leather along with burl wood veneer accents on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 15k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed in March 2025.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt in July 1998 at 74k miles.
