Introduced in 1983 the new targa roof XJ-SC featured the all new AJ6 3. 6 litre straight 6 mated to a five speed gearbox. The new body style was introduced incorporating lift out roof panels and a collapsible rear window section. which left a T-bar arrangement similar to the Triumph Stag. This roof style was developed initially instead of a full convertible because of the impending North American laws. and it was felt that a full convertible would be outlawed. This never actually materialized and a full convertible XJS was eventually manufactured.
