Hello,
You are bidding on my wife's 1992 XJS Jaguar V12 convertible. We've owned it for more than two years and have thoroughly enjoyed riding around in this car and traveling on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Turns lots of heads and is admired by all wherever we drive it. We've decided to part with it to raise funds for renovations on the home. My wife is not really a car person, but this one all but converted her! When I bought it, it hadn't been driven that much by the previous owners so it needed shocks and struts. I had the plugs replaced, new ignition wires, rotor and cap. A/C was charged up and serviced. That work along was over $2, 200. I used synthetic oil since we don't put that many miles on it. I took the stock radio out and replaced with a blue tooth enabled radio for safety. My wife needed cup holders so I took the useless ashtrays out and replaced them with really neat cup holders. Ash trays and the old stock radio go with the car. I had the car inspected in March and they advised me to put new pads on the front and replace the tires due to age of them. So, the tires have only about 500 miles on them!
Interior has no tears, no stains or funny smells. There is some minor wear on the driver's side bolster but it's just the finish of the leather, there are no holes or cracks. All the fender, door, hood and panels have the VIN and all match. I have pictures of the underside that I can email.
Everything works and the car starts and runs excellent, in the heat of summer or the dead of winter. The top works flawlessly and is in great condition, no tears and no leaks. The pictures and videos will show the original paint as looking great for it's age but there are a few minor nicks and light clear coat scratches, but this car does not need to be painted. I did pay a professional to remove as many dents and dings as reasonably possible so the body really is in nice shape overall. There is no rust anywhere in the body, frame, floors, none and never has been. Never been wrecked or repaired, no bondo and the chrome is bright as well. I welcome you to view the car in person and actually encourage you take it for a ride. We're in no hurry to sell, so please be respectful when providing offers if you haven't seen the car in person. If you're looking for a quick flip and to make some money here, this is not the transaction for you. I've sold a lot of vehicles on Ebay in my 16 years of being a member with no problems or complaints. We'd like to see it go to a good home where it where it will be well-kept and admired. I don't mind discussing the car with you on the phone and will provide my contact information upon request.
You'll find plenty of pictures here, more that I can email to you and video links to Youtube. I've tried to represent the car as best as possible, but don't forget it's 23 years old (manufactured November 1991) and is original except for the radio. These cars cost $65-70K when new and were the premier luxury convertible of the time (but you already know that probably or you wouldn't be looking).

Good Luck!
Car is for sale locally and listed in Craigslist, I've set the deposit low and it is refundable (within ten days of receipt) if you are not satisfied or if you buy it sight unseen. I will not divulge my reserve/low offer threshold. If the car doesn't sell, it will go to live auction at the same values, then if it is still not sold, we'll keep it and try again next Spring, weather hasn't been great so we are getting a late start.
