This Jaguar runs great, shifts smooth, breaks are perfect. Mechanically, everything works as designed. Accident free. Smoke free since original purchase in 1996. I get compliments most every time I drive it. Gorgeous color combo: British racing green coat, with a light tan interior.
HISTORY: I bought it in 2009 from a friend in San Diego and put on 7300 miles in the last 7 years. This car has never seen snow or ice and hardly any rain. Every Fall season, I properly winterize the car and store it inside our heated garage. Completely rust free. Garaged year round and properly maintained, oil changed regularly. I have all service invoices, clean title etc. ready for inspection. Put new tires on in 2010. It's in great shape, considering it's a 21 year old car. I am only selling it (reluctantly) to make room in the garage for a new car.
Details: Approx mileage 76,200 (I’m driving the car 1-2 times per week) ·A/C blows cold air.Power steering works smooth and easy.Engine starts up immediately and reliably every time.Battery is 4 years old, and is on a float charger every time in the garage when I don't drive it for a week.And yes, the dash clock is working!The top is unfolds and retracts automatically, it's water tight and has no tears.Rear glass is perfect, no scratches.
I also have the original cream colored pleather cover that you can button and hook over the retracted roof, for that truly elegant look.It’s in the original pouch.
Cosmetic items for your consideration – email me with picture requests, I have lots to email to you but can only upload 12 pics to this listing.
CHROME:The two rear rims have a small amount of chrome coming off, same on the side chrome molding on the passenger side.No other chrome issues all around, it's in perfect shape.PAINT: The entire car's paint job is in overall good shape,. Full disclosure:There are a few small rock chips on the hood and trunk lid.Plastic cover on the passenger side door release (to fold it forward) is missing, The seat still folds forward just fine without it, mechanically it has no issues.Small tears in pleather on rear seat bench back, from opening/closing the roof. There is a vinyl strap that is part of the roof mechanism, that rubs against the seat back when opening and closing, thus causing some abrasion and small tears there.On the driver’s seat back, there is minor leather abrasion on the left side. See photo. By the driver's side door by the window there is about 1/2" of minor fraying in the fabric piping of the roof, which I had fixed so it wouldn't continue fraying.
I am confident this car will bring you years of happy motoring, appreciation in value and a lot of fun every time you’re in it!
