1988 Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 V12 Coupe, swap/part exchange/ For Sale
121, 000 miles and will go up as the car is regularly used. Garaged when not in use.
Car is located in Prestwich, north Manchester, 5 minutes from Junction 17 M60.
Just so you know exactly what you’re getting, please note the following -
Air con is cool, not cold.
Small amount of fraying on driver side piping on the seat bolster, about 2 inches or so.
Cruise control currently not working, bellows have an air leak.
There are a couple of localised rust scabs, mainly on the bottom of passenger door, and some micro blistering on rear near side wing and both buttresses.
A few scratches here and there on the bodywork.
Cassette player not operative but radio works.
A couple of the Alloy wheels could do with a refurb (No kerb damage).
Now the positives -
Extensive (not full) service history. Loads of receipts for work carried out, parts bought and old MOT’s, stamped service book, owner’s manuals, Haynes manual and even an original Jaguar workshop manual.
MOT to Nov 2021 with no advisories. Failed only once in the last 14 years (see mot history on gov. uk website).
5 matching alloys with the correct Pirelli tyres fitted.
Structurally very sound.
Private plate (worth anywhere between £350 - £500).
Spare reconditioned starter motor (cost £150).
In the 4 years I’ve owned it, the following work has been carried out.
New front shock absorbers, drop links, brake pads, track rod ends, steering rack bushes.
New power steering hoses.
Ignition amplifier.
Head gaskets replaced in 2018.
New headlining.
New gearbox rear seal and fresh gearbox oil in 2019.
November 2020 - full service carried out, including engine oil and filter, coolant change, 2 new air filters, ALL 12 spark plugs, HT leads and a new genuine Lucas distributor cap (not a cheap after market reproduction one).
Replacement rear brake pads 2019 (rear discs in excellent condition).
Replacement auxiliary air valve.
New battery July 2020.
The car is fitted with electric windows, central locking, heated seats with lumbar support, electric mirrors, electric aerial, steering wheel reach adjustment, power steering & kick down, all in working order.
The interior is not perfect, it shows signs of wear as it’s 32 years old, but it’s a wonderful place to park your bum. Wood veneer in excellent condition.
Mechanically the car is in excellent order, with a very smooth and powerful V12 engine and automatic gearbox.
Outright sale preferred, but I’m open to a swap or part exchange (cash either way) for one of the following on my bucket list.
The car will need to be in roadworthy condition and have a current MOT or be exempt. No restoration projects.
Triumph Stag 3. 0 or 3. 5 V8.
Jaguar 420 or S-type (60’s model).
Daimler Sovereign (60’s model).
Ford Capri 2. 8i or 3. 0.
Ford Cortina MK 3 2000E or GXL.
Rover SD1.
Jaguar XJ6 series 1 SWB / Daimler Sovereign Series 1 SWB.
Ford Sierra XR4i/ 4X4.
Jaguar XJ-SC 3. 6 or V12.
Mercedes SLC (R107).
Mercedes Coupe (W123).
Reliant Scimitar GT/ E.
If you have one of the above, or even something that you think may be of interest, then please contact me.
However, the car must pre 1990 for my insurance purposes, be less than 5 metres long to fit in my garage, and be right hand drive.
I strongly recommend you view the car.
I’m retired, so viewing can be arranged most days by prior arrangement.
Payment by cash or BACS transfer.
