Bodywork The car appears to by structurally very good and rust free and still appears to be in its original paint. It does however have some visual rust bubbles in some isolated areas, please see pictures of all effected areas. The lacquer on the paintwork is flacking off in most areas and therefore will require a repaint. Interior The interior on this car is in very good order and appears to have been re-upholstered at some point. The head lining is hanging down as usual and will require redoing. Mechanical The car will require a mechanical restoration. The cam shafts, cam carriers and Fuel injection system is missing. We would simply replace the engine complete with EFI from a a later XJS.
