Sellers description:
This is a 100% original 1990 Jaguar XJS. It was purchased by my father in law new,as a birthday present to himself , it has never seen salt and was located in Florida for a good part of its life. I have been the guardian of the car for the past 4 years and have spent more than I care to admit in new mechanicals especially the fuel system and brakes which we replaced properly with OEM parts.

It has zero rust as you can see through the wheel pics I've included. It has a few bumps here and there, noting big at all, the air dam did have an encounter with a parking marker at one time. It needs a head liner, I believe the front wheel bearings are going, it has a heck of a belt squeal at start up, and the seat heaters don't work. Other than that its a great original car ready to go for a cruise or restore to it's original beauty. THE AC WORKS!!! Still has the original Triplex glass all around.

We treated it as a survivor and have enjoyed it a few hundred miles per year as such. It has been maintained by Lars Carlson of Mokena since I've been it's caretaker.

We've got the manuals and the original fog light covers as well.

Seller's description:

This 1990 Jaguar XJS is finished in Signal Red over Barley leather and powered by a 5.3L V12 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The seller acquired the car earlier in 2018, reportedly from the son-in-law of its first owner, and has since added approximately 1,000 of its 68k indicated miles. Records indicate that the window motors, headliner, air conditioning compressor, cruise control servo, brake fluid accumulator, and other items have been replaced since 2014. This XJS is offered with owner’s booklets, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clear Illinois title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in Signal Red, and the condition of the paintwork is shown in a number of close-up gallery photos below along with that of the pre-facelift lighting, chrome, and other trim.

Factory 15″ mesh wheels are fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, which have reportedly covered less than 5,000 miles since installation in 2015. The windows have been tinted all around.

The interior is trimmed in Barley leather with wood paneling, the latter of which has been replaced on the center console according to the seller. The cracked factory piece is included in the sale. The headliner has been replaced along with the window motors and regulators.

The 6-digit odometer shows approximately 68k miles. An Alpine CD changer is mounted in the trunk and wired to the factory stereo. The heated seats are described as inoperable.

The 5.3L V12 received new ignition coils and rotors within the last four years along with a replacement air conditioning compressor, heater control valve, spark plugs, filters, belts, and hoses. The brake fluid accumulator and cruise control servo are also said to be newer items. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission.

The Carfax report shows Illinois and Florida registrations and lists no accidents or other damage through 2016, with no further entries from that point. Service records dating to 2014 are included in the sale along with owner’s manuals, a demonstration cassette tape, and covers for the battery and spare tire.
