Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1988 Jaguar XJ-SC HE Convertible. This Jag might be the sharpest one available on the market as of now and only has 58,3196 miles. However, this car has had a total new engine put in it less than 1,000 miles ago. What makes this car unique is the fact that is has the option to remove only the Targa top or the full convertible top. It not only has the soft convertible top but also a Hardtop with a glass window that comes with the car. This is the last year of this model and limited production. Powering this sports car is a 5.3L V12 engine and mated to the stock automatic transmission. It comes with a clean history report and title. From July 1981, the XJ-S was renamed the XJ-S HE and received the new High-Efficiency V12 engine for much better fuel economy. With the Fire Ball combustion chamber designed by Swiss Engineer Michael May, power output was increased as a by-product to 295 hp or 263 hp in North America. Options on this beautiful Jaguar includes AM/FM radio with Cassette, power windows, power brakes, power steering, cruise control, leather sport bucket seats, alloy wheels with radial tires, and so much more! The Silver colored paint flows nicely with the blue leather interior and blue cloth hardtop. The chrome and woodgrain accents thought the style of this car are truly elegant. The current owner has enjoyed this car for the past 15 plus years and is finally ready to allow someone else to make memories in it. Also 60,000 mile service was done with brakes and rotors replaced. [ omitted ]. [ omitted ]. Our Tampa Showroom is located at 351 30th Street NE Ruskin, FL 33570, by appointment only. [ omitted ].

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is delighted to present this 1988 Jaguar XJ-S HE convertible for sale on consignment with our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. The XJS was born under the stewardship of legendary Jaguar Design Engineer Michael Sayer, who played a major role in the design of the E-Type. However, the 70's was a different ballgame for the British luxury manufacturer who, like all contemporary automakers, had to take emissions regulations and a changing market demographic into consideration. The luxury XJ-S was marketed as a “Grand-Tourer" and its larger than life V-12 engine reflected what this car stood for. The convertible option was offered through dealers in the US before 1988, but this example is a true Jaguar factory two-seat full convertible. Painted in a gorgeous Dark Blue with a Tan leather interior and plenty of fancy accessories, this ‘Jag looks like an outfit you'd put on for the country club and the V-12 has the displacement to go with that larger-than-life attitude. Pushing 270hp/290lb ft of torque from the factory (GREAT numbers for the 1980's), the XJ-S HE is an effortless driver wherever you're heading. Jaguar wanted to make life as easy as possible for the XJ-S owner so a 3-speed GM-sourced “Turbo Hydramatic" automatic transmission comes standard as does Jaguar's “Long Travel Suspension" and four-wheel disc brakes, giving the XJ-S the perfect balance of American comfort and European road handling. To put the icing on the cake of this well-preserved car, there are just 30,000 actual miles on the odometer making this 1988 Jaguar convertible a real time capsule and collector. [ omitted ].
