Ebay item 8/30/14

www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-XJS-XJS-C-Cabriolet-1987-Jaguar-V-12-XJS-C-Cabriolet-Ext ...

Current bid US $2,075 reserve not met, 2 bids 1 day left in auction. 63k miles.

Sellers description:

This car is well appointed with amenities such as power windows, mirror, door locks, telescoping steering column, and cruise control. All lights, switches, and controls work as Sir William Lyons intended.

With a solid rust free body body and very good paint, this car is very deserving of a new home. Starts right up, the v-12 engine runs well, shifts smoothly and recently passed CA Smog Inspection. While not in pristine condition, its a very good base and with a little TLC this car could be easily brought back to pristine condition. Car is priced very appropriately for the current condition.

The Good: Car is in very good running condition, body is straight and rust free, paint is in very good condition for its age and believed to be original. All lights and switches appear to be operational. No rips, cracks or tears in dash or leather - all wood is intact and rated at good to very good condition condition. Original wool carpeting is intact and in very good condition.

The Bad: A/C blows cool, but not cold - needs re-charging, cruise control is non-functional as are the seat heaters. Headliner in rear roof needs replacing. Some plastic roof trim pieces are cracked and need repair or replacement. The rear soft top is not currently attached to the car, but we do have the frame which is undamaged, the canvas needs to be replaced but as you can see the old material is available and more than adequate to use as a template to have a new top made at a good upholstery shop.

on ebay vin is SAJNA3849JC140366 en on the site the vin is SAJJNVCW4JP140366. Please which one is correct ?? Is it the same XJS??

Waldo, there are two VINs for USA cars, very confusing. The SAJJ VIN is factory stamped into the body however cars bound for the USA were mandated to have a different VIN to conform to our standards and therefor that VIN is on labels and stickers placed all over the car. It will have been sold with the USA VIN, the factory VIN will not be referred to thereafter.
