Sellers description:
Bueatiful 89 Jaguar XJS coupe. I have owned this fine vehicle for years and love it. It's time to build something else. I am offering this car for less then retail. It is a rust free V12 Florida car from Palm Coast with Low mileage The White paint is nice holding a Showroom finish. All panels are in good serviceable condition with no bondo or rot. My shipper did tweek the drivers door a $300.00 fix. There are minor dings and scrapes here and there, nothing major. The Tan leather interior is very nice. No tears or stains here it's been well kept indoors. No foul odors, I did not smoke, drink or eat in car. All glass and chrome trim are in excellent condition. It has a sunroof that was installed during the headliner job. I have it sealed shut by choice. I have installed a New wooden shift console from Jaguar dealer. The body and interior are above average condition overall. It's a driver not a Museum quality vehicle.

Since my purchase I did a Full tune up. 12 plugs with wires, Marelli cap and rotor. The distributor was removed and re worked to avoid spark travel through the shaft. Air pump smog system lines were removed from top of engine, replaced with threaded plugs. This allows mechanic more space and helps engine produce more power. Air intakes were modified for maximum suction. All factory Cats. Were removed and replaced with straight Aluminized piping through the stock mufflers. This removes un wanted heat from engine bay, and oil filtering system. I also removed the rear silencers/resonators and ran straights out to Monza tips. The sound is amazing and quiet when you want. The front brake system has been re done with Cross drilled light weight rotors. Special Ceramic pads fresh wheel bearings. I use 93 gas with a boost once a month. I have installed New rear springs and 2 Billstien Shock dampeners. The final modification is a set of 2002 XJR 18"Alloy wheels and ZR rated tires. They were shaved to fit front rotor snout. It looks amazing and drives like they wanted it to. It is a Unique car! Thank you for your time. I hold a Florida title in my name.

1989 Jaguar XJS Coupe, Absolutely rust free 48k mile car. Spent the majority of it's life in Florida, garaged at the original owners winter home. Body and paint are near perfect, may be one minor ding and a couple chips. Interior is very nice, leather is excellent, very minor wear noticed on drivers seat, trim around the auto seat belt re-tractors is warped (re-tractors disabled by previous owner), console trim has been replaced with a wood veneer which is darker than original, there is some cracking in the veneer on the dash, info center not working. XK8 wheels fitted, front wheels have been machined to clears rotor hubs, Front brakes are new (calipers, pads, rotors, hoses, etc) ABS/brake like comes on momentarily on sharp braking? My intention was to do a V8 5 speed swap, maybe even an LS 6 speed! I specifically selected this car because on the outstanding condition of the body and the low miles. I purchased the Jag from the second owner who was a tech at an independent Jag shop. He did the wheels and tires, also removed the cats and fabricated a custom exhaust. The air injection lines were removed (the air pump remains), the hood has been adjusted up at the windshield to help vent the engine compartment heat. The AC works, and the rare sunroof does not, no switch can be located, maybe new console trim did not have provisions, (did not notice this when I purchased the car. The car did run well but now seems to run full rich which is fowling the plugs and making it smoke cold do to over fueling. After 2 years it doesn't look like i am ever going to get tot this project, so my loss your gain. Car is currently registered and insured but rarely driven.
