1989 Jaguar XJS Convertible SAJNV4846KC159257

The car was sold by Gassman Automotive in Waynesboro, VA in 2010 with a mileage of 43506. The red paint is original and flawless as is the black convertible top, grey interior, black factory tonneau, and bright work. The engine had a major overhaul in 2013 with new rings and bearings, new crank sensor, and rear ECU. Cosmetic options include a Nardi steering wheel and factory wire wheels. Performance upgrades include oversized fuel bodies, AJ6 high performance intake manifolds with K&N air cleaners & custom air intake to the fuel bodies, free flow SS exhaust without catalytic converter, lower rear end ratio (from a 6 liter Jaguar XJS), and a GM 4L-65 4 speed/OD transmission with paddle shifters.

Gassman Automitve has performed all the maintenance and service since purchase. In 2018 at 55447 miles, a defective sparkplug boot and the brake accumulator were replaced. Oil/filter/AC service were performed at 57913 miles.

Last year, the alternator was replaced. The car runs perfectly and is used for long distance touring and local car club activities. The current mileage is 59228.

The XJS is a beautiful and comfortable tourer. Because of the many modifications, it preforms like the larger 6.0 liter XJS with power estimated to be between 310-330 bhp. The GM electronic transmission with paddle shifters gives added performance and excitement.

The buyer should know that 1) the cruise control does not work properly—increasing speed from the set point rather than maintaining a constant speed. and 2) the hand brake is activated and releases properly.
