    Just another Jaguar XJ-S addict in Minnesota USA. I love early black bumper cars. So far I have three 1975 XJ-S, a 1976 XJ-S and a 1978 XJ-S. Previously I had a 1986 XJ-SC and a 1988 XJS Coupe.

    I found this car for $750 on a Craigslist text ad 550 miles away without any pictures.
    The seller was a 74-year-old guy that had a smart phone but no idea how to take pictures with it.
    So I bought it unseen as a parts car and shipped it to Minnesota. Lucky catch, much too nice for parts.
    I might make it a launch car clone matching the 1975 Jaguar XJS brochures.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
