Ebay item 2/20/11 cgi.ebay.ca/Jaguar-XJS-/300528371325 Opening bid $10,500, no reserve, no bids 5 days left in auction. Sellers description: Stunning example of a 1996 Jaguar XJS finished in rare Turquoise metallic with Magnolia leather and contrasting black soft top with 46k original miles. The 1996 XJS is the the last year the 6 cylinder XJS was produced and this is a beautiful example with alot of life left .The car is all original and and has always been garage kept and the original paint has a great shine and is in beautiful condition with only few door dings and light scratches on the hood, one small ding on the edge of the hood and it has a light crack on the bottom of the front bumper cover, because the car is so low but they are the only flaws to the car but the dents can be taken out by dentless paint removal .But the small flaws do not take away from the cars beauty and awesome shine I just want to point them out. There is also NO rust on the car . The original interior has a great aroma of leather and is in a Magnolia leather with contrasting coffee colored piping topped off with the jaguar leaper on the headrests and it is still soft with only light wear to the drivers seat and one small flaw on the back seat as pictures but it does not take away from the beauty and the rest of seats are also nice with no wear and are still very soft and supple.Just wanted to point out all the flaws .The wood as well as the carpets and the original soft top are also very nice.The trunk is very clean and has the matching magnolia boot cover in its original bag ,and the original tools Cd Changer .The only upgrade to the car are the 17" XK8 wheels ,and the car has a great stance and drives great. Mechanically the car runs and drives very well and is so silent you can hardly tell its running .It had its 45k service shortly before being put into storage and is ready to go.There are no warning lights on and everything works including the hot heat ,but the A/C could use a recharge but all,windows, door locks, power top keyless entry w alarm all work as they should .The car is 15 years old now but is completely original and is a great driver and it wouldn't take much to make it perfect and it gets thumbs up and stares where ever you take because it is a beautiful car and especially stands out because of the breath taking color combo. The car was originally sold in Jim Burke in Alabama where is has spent its entire life before I got it and it was always serviced there so it has each and every record on the car. I am the only the 3rd owner of the car and it will also come with the original keys,and the books/ manuals. I searched for over a year to find this color in this condition and acquired it as part of my collection but have quite a few jaguars and garage space is limited so a couple cars must go,and I would love this car to go to a great home.
