Sellers description:
This is a 1986 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible. Jaguar did not make a convertible this year so this was sent to Hess & Esenhardt in Ohio for the conversion.

This car was recently donated to a local foundation and we are offering it up for sale.

The Good: It looks to have new tires and it runs and drives nicely. Starts right up with no issues. I have driven it around the block and to the gas station but not further than a mile or 2. The top is powered and goes up and down fine. The interior is ok however it looks to be original and faded and cracked.

The Bad: It has an exhaust leak on top of the engine that it looks like someone used some rubber or something to attempt to plug. It has a really nice 30 foot paint job. It has been re-sprayed at some point however, there are dings, touchups and rust showing in a couple places. Drivers window will go up and down but needs some help. Some lights work some don't. Lucas wiring :). I may take the time to see if it is bulbs or fuses in the coming days but don't count on it. H&E put dual gas tanks in. Previous owner has removed the lower tank as it was leaking. So fuel capacity is half. Top looks good from a distance but it is in bad shape. Assume it will need to be replaced. The boot cover is in the trunk but I don't know the condition. OEM radio needs a code to turn on. There are no books, manuals etc. Nothing but the car and one key. I have not put the car on a rack so i have no underneath pictures. I will try to get some this week.

Overall, it is a good looking car that is in need of some TLC.
