Since I already posted one !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! today (that no one seemed determined to talk me out of, strangely), I thought I'd post another I found:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

1987 Jaguar XJ-SC

5.3L V12, 76k, 3 tops (but don't mistake it for a convertible!), Tremec 5 speed conversion

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

$11,950

I'm actually thinking Nice Price on this. Just 76,000 miles, V12, and a 5 speed manual?

My Grandpa always wanted one of these, never made it happen though. Cool car, not very attractive but I'm sure it'll grow on people as it ages.

True story: I saw one that color with wire wheels the exact same day I went to buy a Jag rear suspension from a lesser XJ-S. It was like an omen.

There was one of these in my neighborhood growing up. I think I saw it under its own power like twice. It was always in the shop down the street or peeking out of the garage with its hood up.

Can't remember seeing one of those before.

Keep the wheels, add a headlight conversion...sweet.

CP though.

Really? I've kind of talked myself into nice price. It has only 76,000 miles on it, came with the pretty legendary V12, and it has a 5 speed? I mean that's less than $1000 a cylinder! :)

Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, but it's a Jag. The $3K XJ6s pull the whole lot down for me unfortunately. In my opinion somewhere in the 6-8 range is fair.
