Classic 1991 Jaguar XJS Convertible up for auction with NO RESERVE. 98k on car, under 16k on drivetrain. Original V12 replaced in 2007 with new GM 350 V8 and 350 Turbomatic transmission adapted with a "John's Cars" of Texas conversion kit. ($4500 in parts and labor). Conversion done professionally, lots of power, Jag runs strong. New fuel venting system installed as well to prevent backpressure pushing fuel out of the fill cap, a common problem with the Jaguar / GM 350 V8 conversion. Approximately 15k on the new engine and transmission. Recent shocks, brakes (not cheap on these cars, lots of labor) and Pirelli tires. Convertible top replaced in 2008 with premium canvas top with glass back window. Top goes up and down easily with the push of a button (no help needed), rear quarter windows go down automatically when top is put down. Remarkably quiet inside the car on the highway when top is up and windows are closed. Nice CD stereo with Ipod control and remote and three ignition keys. The cruise control and a/c do not work. The paint is faded on the trunk and hood, small dent on passenger front fender, bumpers and chrome trim in great shape. Classic insurance for the Jaguar is only $190 a year, full comprehensive. Engine starts easily, cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly with a velvety feel to the suspension. Runs very strong, tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. All directional/brake/turn signal/headlights and horn work. Shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like a European roadster should. Always garaged, the Jag is clean undearneath; floors and trunk completely solid, does not even show surface rust. Always gets compliments whenever we take it out. Fun, sporty classic that will only appreciate in value. 914-224-3230 convertable, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1993
