1988 Jaguar V-12 
XJS Coupe

Asking only $2,850.00   $2,500.00

This is not a mis-print. I’m really going to sell this no rust, running and driving Jag V-12 Coupe for $2,850.00 $2,500.00.

It’s a California / Arizona car since new and it’s amazingly straight. Personally, I haven’t seen any signs of rust or accidents. It appears to me to still be wearing most all of its original paint as it left the factory although I’m sure it’s probably had a touch-up or two over the last twenty-one years.

Most of these Jags are weak mechanically and many are completely broken. This one seems to be running and driving pretty good at the moment although it’s been sitting in storage for years. The previous owner (who was the second owner) told me he spent in excess of twenty grand on this car over the year’s just on thorough and careful maintenance. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the best at record keeping so I only received a little less then half of the receipts to document the maintenance work.

Essentially the biggest thing this car needs is cosmetic work. The previous owner obviously cared very little about this, preferring to spend money to keep the car running well rather then looking good. So now the clear coat is going away on some of the paint, mostly on the roof. The original leather is still in this car but there are splits in some of the seat seams and cracks in the interior wood. Some of the interior plastic is broken and the headliner is awful.

With all of this being said it’s still a great buy at this price. Where else could you possibly find a running and driving exotic V-12 powered touring car for $2,850.00? Remember too, that it’s a no rust California/Arizona car. This is definitely not some back East rust bucket. Again please keep in mind that this is a running and driving car. If you parted the car out it could possibly bring three or four times this price just as a parts car. As an example, a man just told me he was quoted a price of $1,400 on a pair of cylinder heads for one of these cars and over four grand for a running motor. With this car, if you start thinking about a running engine, a good working transmission, a quiet rear-end and all of this great California & Arizona sheet metal, you can see how quickly the value of the components add up to far more then the purchase price.

I have a lot of additional photos that I would be happy to email you if you like. Among these are some very detailed chassis shots taken with the car up on a lift. Most sellers won’t take the time and effort to do something like this but I did. I know what it’s like to buy a car from pictures so I want you to have all of the information necessary to make an informed decision.

In my opinion this is a great buy for someone.
