www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Jaguar-XJS-XJ-SC-Targa-Convertible-/322466529649
Car has a buy it now price of $7,999 for 6 days, seller andreas-schmieg, 60k miles.

Sellers description:
1986 Jaguar XJ-SC Targa Convertible, beautiful car, runs, drives and brakes great, powerful smooth 5.3l V12 engine, automatic transmission, targa roof panels with rear Landaulet convertible roof, you could drive this car every day (except in snow). I drove it to work for a few weeks without problems (except for an empty gas tank). This is not a show quality trailer queen for $25k. The body has a few golf ball dings and imperfections, the convertible fabric inside is worn from the sun. The engine runs well and just had a tune-up. They are slowly getting rare with only 5,013 cars made. Very low 60,200 original miles.

Good:
- Beautiful original unrestored car
- Rare targa roof with rear Landaulet convertible roof
- Powerful smooth 5.3l V12 engine

- Reliable automatic transmission
- Very reliable, drove it to work for a few weeks without problems
- Goes 100+ mph with ease
- Quite fast when shifting manually (1st gear goes to 60 mph, 2nd to 100+ mph)

Imperfections:

- Two dings on the front right corner of the engine hood (see picture)
- Scratches on the front of the engine hood (see picture)
- Targa panel outside fabric has a few imperfections (see picture)
- Level on driver side targa panel does not retract pins (use fingers)
- Convertible roof inside liner worn and torn (see picture)
- Leather damaged under rear right ashtray (see picture)

- Engine needs to warm up for a few seconds when cold (idles low)

The second auction was a fraudster. I sold the car locally for $5000 in the summer of 2017.
