Description
1984 Jaguar XJS HE 5. 3 V12
Currently has just over 23, 000 miles on the clock, though it had a new engine fitted at 58, 176 miles in 1992 (and had the speedo replaced at roughly the same time), therefore total actual mileage is approx 82k. I have a reasonable history of this with invoices/ mots etc that back this up.
7 former owners
Great service history - I have a folder full of documentation.
MOT until 21/ 09/ 2024
I bought the vehicle in 2021 from the previous owner in Oxford.
Priced low for quick sale. It's in good shape, though with the usual age related issues, it has had quite a bit of work done over the past few years, most recently:
- Steering Rack
- Radius Arms
- Subframe mount bushes
- Front D bar bushes
- Track rod ends
- Wishbone ball joint
- Viscous fan
- Rad support crossmember
The engine is smooth, idle is correct, no hot or cold start problems. it has had new soundproofing throughout, it also benefits from a new exhaust, nice and quiet at cruising speed but makes a lovely noise under acceleration (though I have been very tempted to remove the mid silencers to unleash a bit more of that V12 howl!).
There's so much more that has been done, I do have a spreadsheet of all parts installed since 2018 which I can provide if necessary.
The bad bits:
- Paintwork is good but not show-car quality
- Slight exhaust blow
- Wing mirror electric adjustment no longer works (intermittent)
- Cruise control system removed (I have the parts if you wish to reinstall it - But they didn't work very well even from new)
- A/ C does not work - Blower works and controls work, it just doesn't blow cold (might just need re-gassing but it didn't bother me enough to get round to it)
Located just south of Bath, UK.
Will be very sad to see it go, but I am moving on to other projects.
Thank you for looking.
