Sellers description:
1988 Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 liter V12 coupe finished in Dorchester Grey Metallic over Fern Grey leather interior. YOU WILL NOT FIND AN XJ-S IN BETTER CONDITION FOR THE PRICE! I am the second owner of this XJ-S and have trusted it as my daily driver to work for about 3 years. In that time, I have spent thousands of dollars on upgrading and restoring the car mechanically, as seen in the list below. This car was in Texas for it's whole life until 2 years ago, so no rust issues! I drive an old Land Rover when it rains, so the car hasn't seen much bad weather and is always stored & garaged in winter. As for the cosmetic condition of the car, it retains a lovely original & unmolested patina. The paint is in good condition, but is not perfect as it is almost 24 years old. The interior is about the same story, looking astoundingly good for being original with minimal wear for it's age. That being said, I routinely win in the XJ-S division at the Jaguar Club of North America Concours d'Elegance events with this car!
