DESCRIPTION:
1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible 29k Miles (yes, only 29,000 miles!) 5.3cid V-12 Engine, GM THM400 Automatic Transmission Everything works, convertible top is Brand New! Cold A/C, upgraded Power Windows, Power & Heated Seats New custom exhaust, purrs like a kitten! This is the one youve been waiting for...... As near perfect as any XJS Convertible you will find! This Jaguar was purchased by me last June with just over 29,000 miles. It now has 29,500 miles. During the last 500 miles, Ive made many enhancements for your driving pleasure. Unlike many sellers who drone on endlessly with flowery descriptions but they dont have a clue whats under the paint......Ive owned many XJSs and know exactly what it takes to go from an "average" XJS to an "Oustanding" XJS! New in the last 500 miles: Convertible Top, Including middle liner Inside the car Headliner Front Bilstein Shocks Rear Boge Shocks Both are high-end, high performance shock absorber manufacturers. Rear Sport Spring Set (4) Check out the ride-height (gap above tires). Most cars of this vintage will be substantally sagging over the rear wheels. (Go ahead, check out those other XJS vehicles on Ebay!) Why new rear springs you say? The rear springs on XJS cars are much smaller than the front springs.. Even though only 29k miles, the springs have been holding the car up for 22 years...they get tired!! Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Front Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Rear Eliminates all body roll during turns...Take turns (or freeway ramps) at any speed, and the car stays flat! Jaguar offered a "Sport Pak" option which included these roll bars and upgraded shocks. All XJ-S cars came stock with the mounting pads for the rear roll bar in case the Sport-Pak option was added. For all practical purposes, this car now has the Sport-Pak modification. You will really appreciate the supreme control and comfort it provides! Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (Large & Small ends) Note large-bushing air-gaps mounted sideways to reduce IRS movement- Originally installed in-line which allows IRS to roll High-Performance Connecting Links Fully adjustable to allow for rear sway bar tuning Custom Free-Flowing Exhaust System Stacked glass-pack mufflers reduce back pressure, engine runs cooler & delivers a pleasing note, especially with top down Pirelli P600 Radial Tires Jaguar XJSs OEM used Pirelli Tires for their performance, endurance, and styling Front Brake Calipers & Pads New Dual-Piston Front Calipers, New Premium Pads New Interior Ski Slope, w/cup-holders (no ashtrays) Finally! Someone designed a replacement ski-slope with cup holders! Oil Change - Oil Filter - Lube (yes, this car has grease fittings) Marelli Distributor Rotor All new speakers in front doors and rear cabinet area New Halogen Fog Lamp bulbs New Poly Steering-Rack Bushings Steering is tight, car tracks beautifully! Paint appears original, body is slick and smooth. There was a minor paint touchup done that will be hard to discover! Now if a similar car you see on Ebay is advertised as "absolutely perfect", or "simply stunningly", recognize salesman-speak when you hear it. While these vintage cars can be in really good condition, at 20+ yrs old, they ALL have some issues. You will always be chasing some little thing on these cars in pursuit of perfection.....so if youre allergic to maintenence, this car is "not" for you. . Here are the "very few" deficiencies Ive noted on this car...See pictures: Carpet in rear deck "where sun had shone through" was replaced. Slightly off color to the floor carpeting. Previous owner replaced original hood "Growler" medallion with a "Leaper" medallion (The Leaper was only used on sedans (aka Saloons) While this may not be a big deal, it will definately subtract points at a Concours judging event! (Sometimes youll see a Growler AND a Leaper together on the same hood...Yikes!) Electric door locks are tempermental. Trunk however can be locked separately. Recommend never locking convertible doors anyway! Features: This is an ultra-smooth ride. Starts easily, fast idles when cold, RPMs drop to 800 w
