Opening bid US $4,000, no reserve, no bids 6 days left in auction. Seller carmodelguru, 54k miles.

Sellers description:
1991 Jaguar XJ-S "Collector's" Edition Coupe.

The car is being offered at no-reserve. She also has very low miles, only 54,500.

I bought the XJ-S to collect. However, I've since sold my storage building and must liquidate many of the cars in my collection. Sadly, the XJ-S must go - but that means someone will get e great deal.

Here are the features of the car
· 54,500 miles.
· Her factory color is called; Oyster by Jaguar and interior is called; Beige (not camel). Incidentally, looking at the pictures it appears as though the driver's door is discolored - this does not appear in person. It is a reflection in the photos - I can take additional photos upon request.
· The exterior has minor spots of rust bubbling on the rocker panel when I received her. As we restore our own cars, we fixed the bubbling correctly, applied PAR15 and repainted both sides.
· She should be rust free for a very long time (stored correctly).
· The center console wood veneer was peeling (a usual problem for many Jags, so I purchased a newly refinished piece and we installed it. It looks factory fresh. (picture provided)
· All of the gauges work properly, even the rudimentary center "information" computer.
· We also changed the rear inboard brakes and rotors. This is not an easy job. It took two full days. If you are looking for an XJ-S, it is imperative that these brakes and rotors be professionally changed. The entire rear suspension, on both sides, needs to be removed.
· Our XJ-S has the optional wire wheels. They look great but are showing some signs of surface rust, not on the spindles, rather on the chrome caps (internal and external) - I can provide pictures.
· The tires are in excellent condition with many miles left. I'd say 90% tread remaining.
· The interior leather is in very good condition with wear commensurate with the age and miles. I believe that the car was female owned btw
· The rear seats are as new - simply because no one can ever fit back there.
· The paint is in very good condition, again commensurate with the age of the car.
· We just tuned up the car, which included wires, plugs, rotor cap and timing. The V12 engine tune up is also no walk in the park taking a half a day. You won't need another for years now.
· The engine oil and filter were also changed this week.
· The car drives straight, brakes true and is quite the English conveyance.

The radio works well, but oddly requires the code to be entered at every start. We think she requires a new battery and one will be installed before the winning bidder receives the car. (Update - battery purchased.)
· The headliner is excellent.
· The wood on the doors and dashboard are in excellent, fade free condition.
· The new brakes, in the rear, do drag a very little bit - (we've only put one mile on it after the brake job) - they need to seat a bit.
· There is a CD player in the trunk but I have no idea how to use it. Everything in this car works fine, so I would assume it will also. I'll find a magazine for it and give it a go.
