"The car has been regularly started during its time in the collection. It recently underwent a simple startup service, review, and received a new battery. As a result, the car runs and drives with a pleasing V12 engine sound. However, the brakes require servicing, and a general service is recommended before undergoing a new inspection/MOT."

"The car has been regularly started during its time in the collection. It recently underwent a simple startup service, review, and received a new battery.

Description

It was delivered to its first owner in Sweden in April 1988. The latest approved inspection was done on October 28, 1993, and Sandahl purchased it for the collection 30 years ago, in February 1994. The Targa model of the XJ-S was not considered a success in the domestic market, and few cars were sold. Therefore, a XJ-S Targa is an unusually rare find, moreover, with an extraordinarily low mileage.

The car comes from the Sandahls collections, which Bilweb Auctions AB will sell in early spring under four different themes; first out are some of the family's popular workhorses, primarily Mercedes, Volkswagen, and a wildcard, then a half dozen exclusive fine Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, followed by a selection of early Ford cars and a Chevrolet from the infancy and youth of motoring. The last theme will consist of nine different award-winning and representative full-size American cars from 1959, the year when the fins were at their largest.

Sandahls is today one of Sweden's largest family-owned transport conglomerates. The company was founded in Värnamo in 1949. Older generations have in their private museum collected about forty cars under different themes for many years. Bilweb Auctions AB has now been given the task and the honor of selling these in four sessions in February and March this year.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car underwent a startup service, and the engine starts directly and sounds nice. The automatic gearbox works fine, and the brakes are functional but require servicing. Under the bonnet, everything is in order, but the engine could benefit from a thorough cleaning. The electric windows are not working, likely due to a fuse issue, and they also need lubricating. Additionally, the AC has not been tested. A full service will be necessary to prepare the car for the next inspection. It features good steel wire wheels with a small rust spot and older tires in good condition.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete, undamaged, and in good condition, requiring only cleaning and polishing to enhance its appearance. The leather seats and door cards are in good condition with normal wear for their age, while the carpets need cleaning. The dashboard, wooden trims, and gauges are in good condition. The targa roof section fits well, but the fold-up rear roof section needs adjustment as it doesn't close fully.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight and remarkably rust-free, largely due to being stored indoors for 30 years. However, small surface rust spots can be found around the inner edges of the wings. The underbody is solid and undamaged. The paintwork all around is clean and bright, but there are paint chips scattered around the rear wings, bonnet, front lower valance, bonnet corner, front door, and larger paint scuffs and chips on the passenger front wing edge (as seen in pictures).

  • General condition:

    It's not every day you'll come across an XJ SC, and this one should be relatively easy to get back on the road for enjoyment this summer. The cosmetic issues can be addressed over time and aren't urgent.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
