The XJS was introduced by Jaguar in 1975 as a replacement for the iconic E-Type. It was based on the XJ Saloon and offered in a Coupe model powered by a 5.3-litre V12 engine with a manual or automatic gearbox. A Cabriolet version, the XJ-SC, was introduced in 1983, and a Convertible model followed in 1988. The XJS was succeeded by the XK8 after selling 12,372 Convertible XJSs and 5,013 Cabriolet XJ-SCs.

Before the model’s manufacture was brought in-house, production of the early versions of the Targa-topped XJ-SC were outsourced to the established British coachbuilder Tickford. ‘B33 JGY’ is one of the rare Tickford-built examples, made even rarer being one of just six cars that had its 3.6-litre engine driven through a manual rather than automatic gearbox, which was the more common choice at the time. Presented in the attractive combination of Red with contrasting Tan leather interior, this car, in single family ownership from new displays just c.36,000 miles and is offered with an MOT valid until September 2023. Included with the vehicle is its original bookpack, a large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, as well as the V5C document which displays 3 former keepers.
