Ebay item 6/6/12

Opening bid $2,000, no reserve, no bids 6 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
This 85 XJS HE model is currently running and had an engine overhaul about 5 years ago. The motor does run very strong, however value cover leaks on the passenger side. I never got the time to fix it. The body is in very good condition but has some rust around the rear wheel wells and rocker panel. The interior is all there and original. The transmission is a 400 GM model and was rebuilt about 10 yrs ago.

I love the XJS model and have had it since 1989 and my wife drove it for many years. I am cutting down on my projects and I have one other car I am also going to sell.

The only issues are as follows:

The Gas gauge is not working; I have heard that this is a common problem.

The rack and pinion was replaced about 18 yrs ago but is now leaking power steering fluid.

I haven't run the Air Conditioner in years so I don't know what it would need.

The interior needs some attention, but there are no tears in it.

This 27 year old car is very restorable.

Seller's description:

Jaguar XJS has been stored inside since it was purchased in 1990 and it was stored inside by previous owner. It was driven regularly for 12 years. It was replaced by wife getting a new car and very little driven in the last 13 years. It has been sitting in the home garage for the last 4 yrs and has not been driven. The engine was rebuilt 7 years ago and has 3,000 miles on it. This car is solid and would be a good car to restore. I last drove it l4 years ago and I had forgotten what an incredible handling car it is. The engine was rebuilt and has around 3,000 miles. Around 2002 the transmission was rebuilt. The transmission is a GM400, I was surprised by this fact. If you have lots of time on your hands and love the British cars would be a good match.
