www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-XJS-Convertible-/122041844062
Opening bid US $5,000 reserve not met no bids 6 days left in auction. Seller darkpool, 53k miles.

Sellers description:
If you are looking for an XJS Convertible in exceptional original condition, look no further. The beautiful white paint shines. The interior too is beautiful with virtually no wear. The powerful 5.3 liter V12 is amazing, combined with the smooth shifting automatic transmission and renowned Jaguar ride - this is true luxury at a very affordable price.

The Jaguar XJS is loaded with luxury features including;

* 5.3 L V12, 24 valve engine
* Automatic transmission
* 263 HP
* 301 ft. lb. torque
* Rear wheel drive
* ABS
* Top speed 148 MPH
* 235/60 ZR16 tires
* Automatic climate control
* Power seats
* Power mirrors
* Heated rear window
* AM/FM stereo with 6 disc CD player in trunk
* Steering wheel up/down adjust
* Power windows
* Protective cover for soft top

The list goes on but the above is just a taste of the features on this lovely car.

The car starts, runs and drives beautifully. The ride quality is sublime and the car is very quiet. Drive it anywhere with confidence. Fly in and drive it home.

The car has been super reliable in the time I've owned it. I have replaced the rotors and pads all around and installed a set of Cooper Cobra tires I had the radiator removed and cleaned and replaced both thermostats and the electric engine fan. I replaced the battery last year and had the manifold donuts replaced for a super quiet motor.

The car does not leak any oil or other fluids and the oil pressure is excellent. The A/C needs charging.

The power top works beautifully and I will provide an additional cover for use in the rain to protect the convertible top. This is an unusual option and fits over the soft top when in the up position.

Comes with two genuine Jaguar keys and original owners manual.

Sellers description (in addition to above)
To eliminate any concerns about cooling I had the radiator removed, boiled and pressure tested. The electric fan was replaced as were the two thermostats with the correct jiggle pins - this is vital to ensure effective removal of air locks in the cooling system.

The car starts, runs, shifts and drives beautifully. It has never let me down. The soft top goes up and down smoothly and is like new..

During my ownership I have had the following work done in addition to annual oil, filter and lubrication service.

* New rotors a disc brake pads including the hard to reach handbrake pads.
* New tires with four wheel alignment.
* Brake fluid replaced.
* Differential rebuilt.
* Radiator removed and serviced as above.
* Both correct thermostats replaced with jiggle pins as above.
* A/C completely refurbished including new compressor, dryer and evaporator and R134 gas. I love the ice cold air even though it's a convertible.
* While the compressor was out, I had all 12 spark plugs replaced. The two plugs at the front of the engine are virtually impossible to replace with the compressor in place.
* New Bilstein shock absorbers.
* Antenna replaced. I'm sure you've seen antennas at half mast on many older Jaguars. Not this one. It goes up and down smoothly.
* New turnbuckles on battery cover. These are very difficult to find but I found them through our Jaguar club. The battery box is secure and doesn't wobble about.
* The manifold donuts were replaced. We call them "olives" in England. The engine runs very quiet as a result with no blowing manifold.
* Plush carpet mats fit over the original carpet which is in excellent condition.
* The pigtail from the battery cover (see photo) is the lead for a BatteryTender which I use during the winter months. This will be included in the sale.

I bought the car with a modern AM/FM radio installed but I secured the original Jaguar radio from the previous owner which will be included with the sale of the car and, most importantly, the radio code without which it wont work.

Also included is a custom cover for the soft top. See photos. This can be easily installed when the top is up to protect the top from rain or dirt. It folds flat and is stored in its own nylon bag in the trunk.

I will also include a set of FlatStoppers which i found useful during extended periods of limited use.

To summarize. This is one of the straightest, most original, rust free (always garaged), smooth running, most reliable XJS' you are likely to find. I entered it in two car shows and won a Best in Class and a 3rd in show out of over 100 British cars. Both trophies will be included in the sale.
