Ebay item 2/29/16
www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-XJS-H-E-/161991373584
Opening bid US $2,500 reserve not met no bids 6 days left in auction. Seller eanderviking, 59k miles.

Sellers description:
Beautiful condition, only 59,012 actual miles. Runs, drives and shifts beautifully. Original paint, no body damage or accidents, but has a normal rocks chips and minor scratches that do not detract from the overall appearance. Dash is perfect. Leather seats are in excellent condition showing very little wear. Interior wood is in very good condition with a very small amount of lacquer checking. Carpet is original and in very good condition. Original carpeted floor mats included which are in fair condition with some fading/wear. A/C seems to be working and blows cool but may need recharge. Radio antenna is stuck in up position.

This is an extremely original, unmolested low mile XJ-S H.E. coupe in very good physical and mechanical condition. This car runs outstanding, shifts smooth and is very powerful. Purchased and residing in California since new. Original paint is very presentable with no previous body damage/repair or rot. Exterior is the Tudor White over the Parchment Connolly leather interior and Champagne color carpeting. All gauges and lights are operable and power windows, door locks, cruise control, etc., work as they should. The factory radio, cassette player and trip computer are functioning properly. It has five brand new tires (to include spare) that are mounted on the factory alloy wheels. Carpet is original, and in very good condition with normal wear for mileage. The leather seats are in very good condition but could use a good cleaning. All tools, owners books and owner's instruction cassette tape are present and included. Service and maintenance records dating back to 1997 are included in a separate file.

I believe I am the second "registered owner". I bought it last year from a personal friend of the original owner, who came into possession of the car after the first owner passed away in 2008, which is last the time the car was registered in CA and driven regularly. The gentleman I bought it from never titled the car in his name, but garage stored it responsibly with regular starting and short driving trips to keep everything in working order.

The car is very presentable and I would say very good condition overall, but is not by any means perfect or without minor flaws that come from normal use by very conscientious ownership. I have tried to show all minor imperfections in the photos. I also had the car tuned by a Jaguar specialist when I bought it, as it was running somewhat rich. This condition likely led to the malfunctioning of the front catalytic converters, as I am told they will need to be replaced if you want to pass the smog test for California registration. The car runs excellent and is not impacted at all by this condition, other than too much CO2 for CA. It would benefit from more regular driving and use than it currently gets.

This is truly a beautiful and original Jaguar that would be an excellent addition to any collector or enthusiast's garage. The actual miles are verified through service records, title and other documents. This is a chance to own an unmolested original V12 cat. I have tried to provide honest details on the car but am glad to answer any questions or provide additional pictures of specific areas as desired. The car is available for inspection by appointment in Fresno, CA.
