Car has a buy it now price of £5,995 for 8 days, seller andrewkid, 149k miles.

Sellers description:
my much cherished XJS Cabriolet, which I have driven as my daily drive for the last 3 years. I had it converted to LPG, so that I can get around 40 mpg equivalent. I also went through everything three years ago, to make sure that it would be reliable and it has never let me down. The LPG Conversion was done by a reputable firm (invoices available) and cost £2,000.

There is some much to list about what I have serviced, changed, paid attention to - however the big things are this - firstly the body is really good for its age, I doubt you will find a better example! - and essential part when looking at these classics - secondly, I had the gearbox done, all bearings, brakes, suspension bushes, springs all round, the engine has done 149,000 miles, whilst I have done all the hoses, ancillaries, I have not restored the engine - it still pulls brilliantly and uses no oil. I have installed a good stereo, gone through all the cooling system, tyres were new three years ago, so probably have about 3 mm left, the proper typres for this model, and all dampers were renewed.

The number plate is not included in the sale.

If you are after a cheap to run classic, this is it, and open air motoring for a bargain price.
