WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR CLEAN CLASSICS BUT ESPECIALLY ORIGINAL PAINT SURVIVORS AND WHEN THE OPPORTUNITYCAME FOR US TO AD THIS 85 JAG TO OUR LINE UP OF SURVIVORS WE COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT IT. THIS XJS CLEARLY BY IT'S CONDITION NOT ONLY SHOWS IT WAS A EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR CAR, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THE OWNER NEVER FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH HIS CAR SINCE THE DAY HE PURCHASED IT, AS ANY OF US KNOW YOU DON'T KEEP A VEHICLE FOR 33 YEARS UNLESS YOU TRULY LOVE IT, AND THAT LOVE CLEARY SHOWS BY THIS CARS INCREDIBLY CLEAN AND ORIGINAL CONDITION IN AND OUT. THIS COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL KEYS, SALES BROCHURE, IT'S ORIGINAL MATCHING UN-USED SPARE IN THE TRUNK, JACK AND TOOLS. IT HAS BEEN IN WA STATE IT'S WHOLE 33 YEAR LIFE AND LUCKILY WE HAVE MILD WINTERS USUALLY WITH NO SNOW AND THEY NEVER USE SALT ON OUR WINTER ROADS THAT HELP LEAVE BEAUTIFUL AND SOLID RUST FREE CLASSICS LIKE THIS ONE. THIS CAR CAME OPTIONED IN MY OPINION THE MOST TIMELESSAND TASTEFUL COLOR OPTIONS IN WHAT JAGUAR CALLED THE CLARET RED METALLIC EXTERIOR OVER THIS BEAUTIFUL TAN BISCUIT TAN LEATHER INTERIOR THAT IS IN IMMACULATECONDITION. THE ORIGINAL OWNER CLEARLY LOVED THIS CAR ANDTHIS IT TRULY DRIVES AS TIGHT AND SOLID AS YOU CAN GET WITH A SMOOTH, QUIET AND VERY COMFORTABLE DRIVE THAT GIVES YOU THE FEEL AND SOUNDS AS IF YOU HAVE JUST BEEN LOCKED INTO A HIGH END LEATHER BRIEF CASE. NICE SOLID OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS FREE OF ANY DOOR SAG THAT GIVE THAT TIGHT POP WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED AND THAT BEAUTIFUL DEEP VAULT LIKE SOLID SOUND THAT EVERY CAR GUYLOVES TO HEAR WHEN CLOSING THE HEAVY DOOR ON A CLASSIC. THIS CLASSIC IS IN AMAZING SOLID AND ORIGINAL CONDITION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND IS 100% RUST FREE CONDITION.
BODY-AS YOU WALK AROUND THIS CAR AND TAKE IN THE OVERALL AMAZING 33-YEAR-OLD CONDITION, IT IS CLEAR THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOVED AND CARED FOR BY ITS ONE ORIGINAL OWNER. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SMALL DETAILS, THE INTERIOR, DRIVE QUALITY AND THE OVERALL TIGHT AND SOLID FEEL THIS CAR GIVES, AND YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS CAR IS IN A LEAGUE OF IT'S OWN. THE CHERRY ON TOP AND WHAT IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART OF THIS 3 DECADE OLD SURVIVOR IS THE INCREDIBLE CONDITIONOF THE INTERIOR AND UNTOUCHED ORIGINAL EXTERIOR PAINT. THIS CAR HAS GORGEOUS ALL ORIGINAL LACQUERPAINT IN WHAT IS CALLED CLARET METALLIC AND HAS REALLY NICE SHINE AND DEPTH. THE LACQUERPAINT USED ON OLDER CLASSICS LIKE THIS RED BEAUTY IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE NEWER BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT PAINT. LACQUERPAINT HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND UNMISTAKABLE LOOK, SHINE AND DEPTH TO IT THEN CLEAR COAT DOES AND THIS CAR HAS THAT PROPER LACQUERSHINE. THE LACK OF CLEAR COAT ELIMINATES ANY CLEAR COAT FLAKING OR LIFTING, AND THE LACQUERPAINT IN MY OPINION IS TOUGHER AND LESS PRONE TO DAMAGE. SOMETIMES WITH AGE, TIME AND ELEMENTS THERE CAN BE THE AGING PATTERN THAT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "CHECKERINGâ€, AND IS REALLY ONLY NOTICEABLEIF YOU ARE CLOSE TO THE CAR AND INSPECTING THE PAINT. THIS CAR HAS SOME OF THAT VERY FAINTAGING ON THE TOP OF THE HOOD AND UNDER THE GAS DOOR. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO NOT ONE PANEL HAS BEEN ADJUSTED OR ALTERED, THERE IS NOT ONE PAINT BUBBLE, ROT, CANCER OR SURFACE RUST AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL EQUALLY AGED ORIGINAL PAINT ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH THAT KILLER GLOSS. THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF CHIPS AND SOFT DINGS, ALL OF WHICH ARE POINTED OUT IN THE WALK AROUND VIDEO AND SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. THE FRONT FASCIAOF THE HOOD HAS SOME PEPPERING, AND DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THERE ARE SOME SOFT DOOR DINGS ALONG THE BODY LINES. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PAINT DAMAGE AND ARE BARELY NOTICEABLEAT THE RIGHT ANGLE AND LIGHTING AND IF YOU STAND BACK FROM THE CAR A FOOT OR TWO. THERE ARE SOME TYPICAL SMALL CHIPS ON THE DOOR EDGES AND ENTRY AREAS AS EXPECTED. THE LOWER ARES OF THE BODY JUST AFTER THE TIRES HAS ROAD TYPICAL WEAR ON THE PAINT. THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF SPOTS ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE TREE SAP MAY HAVE CAUSED A CHEMICAL REACTION IN THE PAINT, BUT AGAIN, THESE ARE ONLY NOTICEABLEIF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THEM. THE CHROME ON THE BUMPERS HAS DEEP REFLECTION, ALTHOUGH THE BLACKS ARE SLIGHTLY FADED FROM AGE. THE FRONT SPOILER IS IN TACT WITH NO CURB DAMAGE, AND BOTH MIRRORS ARE IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILIGHTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO CONDENSATION AND GOOD COLOR, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL CHIP IN ONE OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT THAT IS A QUICK AND CHEAP FIX. THE FRONT GRILLE IS IN GOOD CONDITION, HOWEVER THIS IS SOME CHROME FLAKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BEZEL, BUT IT IS A QUICK FIX AS REPLACEMENT SURROUNDS ARE AVAILABLE ON EBAY, BUT WE WANTED TO LEAVE IT ON THE CAR AS IT IS THE ORIGINAL PIECE. THE CAR AMAZINGLY STILL RETAINS ALL IT'S ORIGINAL GLASS INCLUDING THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY MARKINGS ON THE CORNER OF EACH PIECE OF GLASS. THERE IS ONE SMALL CHIP IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT THERE ARE NO CRACKS, AND THE CHIP DOES NOT IMPAIR VISION AND COULD BE EASILY FIXED BY A GLASS GUY. THE METAL WINDOW SURROUNDS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE SOME PAINT WEAR, BUT THE REAR WINDOW SURROUNDS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. THE DOORS AND TRUNK SHUT AND POP OPEN PERFECTLY, SMOOTH AND EASY WITH NO SAG, AND THE CHROME EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE STILL NICE AND TIGHT AND DO NOT FLOP OR RATTLE. THIS CAR HAS EXCELLENT ORIGINAL PANEL GAPS ALL THE WAY AROUND AND OVERALL CONDITION SHOW IT HAS BEEN GARAGED AND NOT LEFT OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. THE RUBBER AROUND THE REAR WINDOW ARE CRACKED FROM AGE, BUT REPLACEMENTS CAN BE FOUND EASILY. I HAVE ATTACHED MANY CLOSE-UP PICTURES, AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ALL CHIPS, WEAR OR DINGS CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN THE VIDEO. THIS WELL LOVED AND CARED FOR CLASSIC IS VERY HARD TO FIND NOT ONLY IN UN-MOLESTED ORIGINAL CONDITIO, BUT VERY HARD TO FIND ONE OF THIS CALIBER IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AND SOLID CONDITION LIKE THIS METALLIC RED BEAUTY!
INTERIOR-THE INSIDE OF THIS CAR IS IN TRULY EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE LIGHT COLOR OF THE CARPET AND LEATHER, IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW CLEAN AND WELL PRESERVED THE INTERIOR IS! THERE ISN'T MUCH TO MENTION BECAUSE THIS INTERIOR REALLY IS A 9+ OUT OF 10! THE LEATHER ON BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS AND THE REAR SEAT IS IN ABSOLUTELYPERFECT CONDITION AND IS STILL SOFT AND SUPPLE AND NOT ALL DRIED OUT AND STIFF. THE SEATS HAVE NO HINGE OR SLIDER ISSUES, SO THEY ADJUST EASILY AND FLIP FORWARD AND BACK JUST AS THEY SHOULD. THE HEADLINER IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO CUTS, HOLES, OR SAG, BUT THERE IS JUST A LITTLE DARKENING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE DRIVER DOOR. THE VISORS MOVE AND ADJUST FREELY AND STAY FIRMLY IN POSITION YOU LEAVE THEM IN JUST AS THEY SHOULD. THE DOOR PANELS ARE STILL TIGHT TO THE DOORS AND IN TRULY INCREDIBLE CONDITION WITH NO FADING, CRACKS, RIPS OR HOLES. THE DASH AND WOOD TRIM PIECES ARE ALSO IN GORGEOUS CONDITION, FREE OF DAMAGE OR SUN FADING. THE CENTER CONSOLE IS CLEAN WITH NO MARKS, AGE OR WEAR, THE GAUGES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR, THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, AND EVERYTHING OPERATES AS IT SHOULD. THE CARPET IS IN TRULY BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, WITH ONLY SLIGHT FLATTENING OF THE FIBERS NEAR WHERE THE DRIVERS FEET REST. THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE FOOT PEDALS CONFIRM THE LOW MILEAGE, AND THE ENTIRE INTERIOR SHOWS HOW WELL LOVED AND CARED FOR THIS CAR HAS BEEN ALL ITS LIFE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS SOME CHIPPING IN THE DOOR JAMB, BUT IT IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR WITH THE DOORS SHUT AND MY BEST GUESS IS THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY SOMEONE CLOSING THE DOOR WITH THE SEAT BELTBUCKLE STUCK IN THE JAMB. THE DOORS POP RIGHT OPEN WITH EASEAND SHUT LIKE NEW WITH ONE SOLID SOUND AND NOSAGGING AND HAVE BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY PAINT THROUGHOUT THE JAMBS AND HINGES. THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK IS IN CLEAN, ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL, UNUSED SPARE TIRE TOOLS, AND TIRE COVER INCLUDED. IT IS A TRUNK SO THE CARPET DOES HAVE SOME DISCOLORING AND WEAR, BUT FREE OF LEAKS. RARELY CAN I SAY A INTERIOR IS PERFECT, BUT THIS INTERIOR TRULY IS AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET AND I THINK IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLETO FIND A NICER OR MORE ORIGINAL 33 YEAR OLD INTERIOR!
MECHANICAL-THIS FUN LITTLE CRUISER IS TIGHT AND MECHANICALLY SOLID. THE STRONG AND SMOOTH V12 IS NICE AND QUIET, RUNS STRONG WITH NO HESITATION, TICKING, SMOKING OR ISSUES. IT DRIVES AND STOPS STRAIGHT AND TIGHT JUST AS IT SHOULD. IT HAS THE FACTORY V12MOTOR, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING AND POWER DISC BRAKES UP FRONT. IT ALWAYS FIRES RIGHT UP, RUNS SMOOTH AND IS AN EASE TO DRIVE ON COUNTRYROADS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR IS HONEST UNDER THE HOOD THAT SHOWS THE ORIGINAL, PRESERVEDCONDITION WITH FACTORY DECALS AND ASSEMBLY MARKINGS STILL IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL, UNTAMPERD BODY BOLTS SHOWING THIS CAR HAS NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT OR BODY WORK. IS NOT SPRAYED WITH CHEAP DETAIL SPRAY AND IS NOT SPOTLESS BUT LEFT IN IT'S HONEST CONDITION SHOWING IT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED, BUT STILL DRIVEN AND USED. IT RECENTLY HAD QUALITY FALCON TIRES PUT ON THOSE ICONIC LOOKING ORIGINAL WHEELS. THE BRAKES STOP SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT WITH NO PULLING, SHAKING, FADING OR NOISES. THE STEERING IS VERY SOLID WITH NO WANDERING WHEEL, PLAY, CROOKED WHEEL OR BALL-JOINTBINDING SOUNDS AND THE SUSPENSION IS NICE AND TIGHT THROUGH CORNERS AND BUMPS WITH NO BODY ROLL OR BOUNCY SHOCKS. THE ENGINE HAS NICE THROTTLE RESPONSE, IDLES CLEAN AND SMOOTH AND HAS NO ISSUES OR SIGNS OF NEGLECT. THE AUTOMATIC TRANS HAS NICE QUICK DOWN SHIFTS WHEN YOU PUT THAT BIG V12 TO WORK AND HAS NICE CONSISTENT UP SHIFTS.THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL NEW FLUIDS AND ALL NEW FRONT BRAKES INCLUDING CALIPERS. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CAR, SO MOTOR IS NOT SPOTLES, IT WILL SHOW SOME DIRT AND GREASE BELOW AND MAY HAVE SMALL SEEPS ON THE MOTOR IF IT SITS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT HAS NOT LEFT ANYTHING MAJOR ON THE FLOOR WHILE BEING STORED INSIDE. THE ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT WORK IS THE A/C NO LONGER BLOWS ICE COLD, DUE TO IT BEING THE ORIGINAL 1985 FREON, BUT ALL THE MECHANICAL PARTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AND UN-TOUCHED THIS IS A CLASSIC THAT I WOULD NOT STRESS ABOUT BEING IN TRAFFIC WITH AND WOULD TRUST TO TAKE ANYWHERE :)
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO TRULY LOOK AT ALL THE PICS AND VIDEOS AND COMPARE IT TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS AGE AND WHAT THEY GO THROUGH IN DAILY USE FOR OVERTWO DECADES TO TRULY APPRECIATE THE AMAZING CONDITION OF THIS TRUCK!! THINK ABOUT HOW TECHNOLOGY AND THE WORLD HAS CHANGED SINCE THE MID 80'S AND WHERE YOU WERE IN 1985 AND WHAT ALL YOU HAVE DONE SINCE AND THE STORIES YOU CAN TELL :) IT WILL BE SAD TO SEE THIS XJS GO BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I COME ACROSS A LOW MILE 1 OWNER IN THIS CONDITION, SO WE HOPE IT GOES TO A LOVING AND APPRECIATED SECOND OWNER! BID TO OWN WITH NO RESERVE!
The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone's satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I'm buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it andIf anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, so please keep this in mind when bidding
