Sellers description:
THIS IS A 'NO RESERVE' AUCTION !!!

THIS IS A VERY NICE XJS.
PROFESSIONAL CHEVY V8 CONVERSION.
ALL CHROME SPOKE WHEELS.
TINTED WINDOWS.
DRIVES GREAT.
ALWAYS GARAGED.
NO RUST ON CHASSIS AND ONLY VERY LITTLE UNDERNEATH.
BRAND NEW BATTERY AND VERY GOOD TIRES.

I BOUGHT THIS XJS IN 2009. THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S TITLE STATED: ISSUED IN NEVADA IN 1994.
THE CAR THEN WAS SOLD TO A DEALERSHIP IN JULY '09 (STILL NEVADA) AND THEY SOLD IT TO ME IN SEPTEMBER '09.
INCLUDING THE THE OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MTHS. THIS XJS HAD ONLY 3 OWNERS
SINCE 1994. THE MILEAGE STATED ON THE TITLE AT THE TIME OF THE SALE IN 2009 WAS 99329.
IT IS NOW 100371.
THIS XJS SPENT 15 YEARS IN NEVADA (MY GUESS GARAGED) AND THE LAST 5 GARAGED IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA HENCE 'NO RUST'.

THE PAINT IS FAIDING IN SOME AREAS. I TRIED TO DOCUMENT IT IN THE PICS I TOOK BUT IT WON'T SHOW.
HEADLINER IS STARTING TO SAG.
SOME VERY MINOR SCRATCHES AND ONE SMALL CHIP THAT I COULD FIND.
BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE RIPPED SEAMS THE BACK SEAT IT GOOD.
AC WORKS BUT NEEDS A RECHARGE.
THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE RADIO HAS AN ADAPTER STUCK INSIDE THAT I CAN'T GET OUT.

I CONSIDER THIS XJS A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR A SHOW CAR WITH VERY LITTLE INVESTMENT.
OR USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER.
