1987 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible by Hess & Eisenhart. Creme with Tan leather interior and Tan top. 57,000 miles, first owner was your classic “little old lady”, who had it trucked from Denver to Palm Springs every winter for her use there. Rebuilt Turbo 350 transmission. Engine electricals have been gone through by a top-notch mechanic. $800 aluminum radiator. A/C not working, but only needs leaks tracked down and a fill. “Piano Board" has been replaced. Original radio works, but occasionally eats a tape; probably needs to be serviced or replaced. New M&S tires six years ago, has hardly been driven since and still look almost new. Extremely light hail damage, plus a couple of places which need body work and paint touch up. One rear bumper piece (out of three ) needs to be re-done or replaced. Runs very well, except in very hot weather. Both fuel pumps replaced; I have a set of stainless steel, rivet-on hood louvers which should be the final piece to the puzzle. Always draws favorable comments in parking lots and at cruises, because of its beautiful lines. Passed Colorado emissions on 11-29-17. Best feature of the car is the way Hess & Eisenhart did the top. Gas tank behind the former second row of seats was sliced from side to side on a diagonal, so that there is a place for the top to set down inside car, rather than stacking on the rear deck like Jaguar’s unattractive 1988 & later version. Jaguar’s wonky British engineering did then dictate a second, 5 gallon sump tank, with a transfer pump. Good heater and defroster. Sizable trunk, plus a luggage shelf behind front seats. Independent rear suspension has been adopted by many hot rodders over the years. Retractable three-point safety belts. Power top and power windows, power steering and power disc brakes. Great color combination. You better move fast, local sale is pending! Feel free to ask questions!
