Sellers description:
Fresh from winter storage is a nice 1986 Jaguar XJS.

I bought the car about 3 years ago as a project. I was intending to do so customization to take advantage of the low sleek front end of the car. I removed the front bumper (will be included with car) and was going to fabricate some bumperettes instead of the bulky original bumper. But unfortunately, I have too many cars and projects and I have to let some go. I never registered the car, and I have only driven it on test drives around the neighborhood to run the engine a little.

Condition: The V-12 engine and transmission are strong, the interior is decent but will need work; theres stitch separation on the seats,the headliner needs to be replaced, and some wood trim needs to be refreshed. The exterior body panels have paint oxidation and are overall pretty good but there are small areas of rust through under rear wheel wells and rear quarters, some which I already patched. There is also some rust through on the front passenger floor panel, but nothing too difficult to patch. The car runs and drives. It needs a tune and it feels like the rear shocks are bad, but I have a new pair in the trunk that will go with the car. All tires hold air and look pretty decent. I don't know the actual miles, I thought it was 95k but after listing the car I noticed that the ebay car report shows that may have been an odometer issue before I got the car.
