1992 FACTORY V-12 XJS JAGUAR CONVERTIBLE

Original 80,665 Miles on Odometer

This Jaguar V-12 (5.3L) Flamenco Red car is a great cruiser! NO overheating issues! I’ve been up to about 132 mph in her and she rides fine! Recently went to a Euro Car Show about 1.5 hours from my home and the Jag made a great drive there and back the next day – and she won best Jaguar Award !! I l love this Jag and the only reason I am selling her is that I bought a Ferrari Mondial Cabrio and I need the Jag’s garage spot when the Ferrari gets here ! The Jaguar has always been garaged. I’m not a dealer, just a small time collecto rwith very limited garage space. Check my 100% Ebay Rating since 1999.

MY IMPROVEMENTS. Since purchasing the Jag I have done thefollowing within the last year: new Chrome Jaguar Wheels and new Tires (less than 1,000 miles on both) & front end alignment; new Front Coil Springs (raised the Front end back up about 2 inches to stock ride height; 4 new Rear Shocks (the Front end had many new/recent parts on it when I got it but we did replace 1 idler arm); new Spark Plug Wires & Spark Plugs & a few new vacuum lines; new Oil & Filter change; new Battery (installed this week); new Wood Steering Wheel; new custom Wood Center Console piece with cupholders; new Maroon Carpet; new leather custom made Maroon & Blue Jaguar Seat, Headrest & Console covers; new custom JAGUAR maroon Floor Mats; new custom Jaguar Hood Insulator; new blue Top Boot Cover with a Union Jack flag on it; new Jaguar Trunk Spoiler; the Hood Repainted to match & the rest of the car received paint correction touch-up and compounding & polishing; new leaping Jaguar Hood Emblem; new XKE V-12 Emblems put on the car; new Jaguar Front Chin Spoiler; new Jaguar XK 140 Leather Bonnet/Hood Belts installed (you got to love the “racing” look those hood belts give a Jaguar); Exhaust System is good and I installed 2 new Polished Jaguar Exhaust Muffler/Silencers on the very back with new Chrome Dual Exhaust Splitters (one photo shows them); new European Front License Plate and front grill Jaguar Club Badges; new Jaguar Foglight Covers – have one spare foglight cover; yes,there is an Austin Powers bobblehead behind the seats that can be easily removed with two screws on the bottom;

CONDITION. Car has the original V-12 (as far as I can see) and she runs well and drives well ! NO overheating issues ! Convertible Top & Headliner are both in good shape andTop works well going up & down; Gauges - All gauges work & no warning lights are on (see the two dash photos with car running) – bulb or brake light may flashe for a second when you brake but the bulbs & brakes work fine; all Electrical Lighting is fine; Radio works (sometimes after sitting for weeks it has to warmup); Power Steering & Power Brakes work fine; Fan Blower for Heat AC works well; Cruise Control works off and on – I think it’s just a bad relay as I have jiggled the underhood relay before and got it to come on; all Air Conditioner components are present & the belt is on the AC compressor but I can’tget the compressor to come on – don’t know if it’s just a relay switch or low pressure in the lines – but I think it can be fixed – I just never drive with the top up so I didn't worry about it; all Power Windows work fine; Power Rear View Mirrors work fine; Power Antenna antenna goes up and down but when down has about 10 inches showing – can be seen in one photo; Spare tire - car has a correct Jaguar rim/wheel for the spare - just needs a tire on it; car comes with 2 Jaguar keys, all Owners Manuals, Radio Code card, and a 1992 Jaguar Dealership Brochure (see photos); also comes with a Jaguar Car Cover & original Tan colored Top Boot and original factory Jaguar Steering Wheel;

BODY is in great shape – solid and nothing but superficial rust underneath (car is 31 years old);
