Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage from October 1991 through October 2017.

Factory 15″ wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot tires, which the seller describes as due for replacement along with the shock absorbers. A new steering rack, ball joints, control arm bushings, and front brakes have reportedly been fitted within the past five years.

The interior is trimmed in Biscuit leather with burl wood accents and features automatic climate control as well as a factory cassette deck. Instrumentation includes Smiths gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage along with a 6-digit odometer showing approximately 75k miles.

The 5.3L V12 has been serviced over the past five years with a new ignition module and amplifier, alternator, throttle potentiometer and shaft bushings, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, spark plugs and wires, injector hoses and seals, belts, hoses, and expansion tank. The seller states that the car passed a California emissions test in February 2019.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a GM TH400 3-speed automatic transmission.

Service records from current and previous ownership, a window sticker, repair manuals, owner’s booklets, and other paraphernalia are included in the sale along with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and a Carfax report.

This 1985 Jaguar XJS coupe is finished in Cranberry Red over Biscuit leather and powered by a 5.3-liter V12 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes automatic climate control, a factory cassette stereo, a front spoiler, and foglights. The car was registered in California for much of its life before being acquired by the seller on BaT in February 2019. Services performed under previous ownership are said to include replacement of the fuel injector hoses and seals, alternator, steering rack, ball joints, and front brakes.

Factory 15″ alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot tires, which are said to be older and require replacement. The steering rack, ball joints, control arm bushings, and brakes were serviced during prior ownership.

Amenities include automatic climate control, a factory cassette stereo, an onboard computer, cruise control, and power windows. Cracks in the wood trim and seam separation on the driver’s seat backrest.

A leather-wrapped two-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates approximately 76k miles, around 600 of which have been added during current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory-rated at 291 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The engine computer, expansion tank, ignition module, and alternator were replaced during previous ownership.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate shows a production date of July 29, 1984 and displays the factory colors.
