Ebay item 4/23/13
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-Jaguar-XJS-Very-Low-Mileage-/200917658705
Opening bid $3,800, no reserve, no bids 5 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
1979 Jaguar XJ-S V12 coupe with only 6,956 original miles. The current owner sadly passed away, he had owned the car for 11 years and only added 446 miles in those eleven years, a lot of the time the car was in storage.

The car is in need of some TLC to bring it back to its original condition, the body work is sound and the engine runs. The only non original parts on this car are a new battery and fuel pump, everything else is original. The car has its original eight track stereo radio (which works) also comes with some eight track tapes.

The car has 4 good tires on it plus an unused full spare, the car also comes with a complete spare set (5) of Pirelli P4000 tires; numerous spare parts are also included with the sale.

The car is in need of a paint job to bring it back to a pristine condition, the windshield wiper motor does not work.

The car is being sold as is.

Sellers description:
Up for auction is a 1979 Jaguar XJ-S with only 6,958 ORIGINAL MILES!!!!
Still has the new car sticker in the window.

The good:

Starts right up and runs, drives, shifts through gears.
No rust through. Some surface rust, but no rust on the quarter panels, floor boards solid.
Almost new set of tires (only 6,900 on the car, tires show no wear).
All original except for a new fuel pump and fuel filter.
All lights work.
Interior in good condition. (back seat seam split).
Car is complete and solid.
Many spare parts, too many to list.
Repair manual and parts catalog included.



The bad:

Runs very rough, needs a good tune up, it's been sitting for 11 years in a garage.
Needs a new distributor, one of the screw supports is broken off.
Needs a paint job, the paint is faded.
The parking brake light is always on.
Some minor surface rust (see pics).
Back seat seam split (see pics).



Don't know too much about this car, acquired it through an estate and really don't have the time to put into it to get it up to showroom condition.

Car will need to be towed or transported.
