Jaguar : XJ12 1977 jaguar xj 12 l 43 k original miles excellent throughout

$15,750

Westbrook, Connecticut

Reluctantly offered for sale is "Cinnamon," a fabulous 1977 Jaguar XJ12L sedan. I purchased this lovely motorcar from the second owner who reported that he had acquired it from the estate of the original owner with very low mileage. When I bought her she showed just 41,500 miles. The previous owner spent considerable amounts on mechanical maintenance and refurbishments over the years; in 2008 he replaced the interior with high quality hides and carpets, installed a new NOS wood dash and had her repainted in the original color. The paint is excellent and quite authentic single stage enamel that shows fabulously and has stood up very well. The chrome and rubber are all quite good. Glass is clear with factory (mild) tint. The interior is finished in brown leather on the seats with inserts of dark green in the panels and brown thick pile carpets (original color scheme). The leather still has the "new car" smell. The panels are original and quite nicely preserved. The dash top is free of cracks and the dash wood is excellent, reflecting that it is only 7 years since it was replaced. The leather is virtually flawless and looks new. I find no evidence to contradict the prior owner’s claim that the car is 100% original, undamaged and was never rusted or repaired. The body is tight and does not rattle like higher mileage Series 2’s. Undercarriage is clean. Owner’s manual and original papers and case are in the glove box. While it is not a concourse vehicle, Cinnamon is a very high quality "driver" that gets admiring comments wherever she goes. I have not shown her competitively but she certainly would stand up well in Jaguar Club driven class competition and local shows. More importantly, Cinnamon is a thoroughly enjoyable driver’s car. She is a pure pleasure to drive or ride in (the back seat is really comfortable with loads of leg room!) Smooth, powerful, comfortable riding, tight and responsive. She will keep up with and easily pass most modern traffic and benefits from that incredible smooth, turbine like V-12 acceleration that cannot be duplicated by lesser engines. Handling is quick, responsive and very “modern” feeling. Brakes are easy to modulate and very effective. The climate control is comfortable and the aftermarket stereo is high quality and very pleasant with extraordinarily good sound. It features a CD player and line in for iPod or mp3. Oil pressure is excellent. No overheating problems. Lights, turn signals, horns, wipers, windows, locks, all work as they should. No smoke, knocks, or other abnormalities. Since purchasing Cinnamon I have had her gone through by the best vintage Jaguar specialists in the area and have spent close to the asking price of this car in mechanical repairs and refurbishment to produce, in so far as possible, a thoroughly sorted and mechanically reliable Series 2 while still retaining the original drivetrain and authentic driving experience. I have complete and detailed bills and receipts for all work done, but here is a brief summary of what has been accomplished in the last two years in addition to oil changes and normal maintenance: Repair and correct cash wiring issues to restore functionality to all warning lights.Install new transmission mountRepair misaligned exhaustClean throttle bushings and reset linkagesReplace road hornsReplace radio antennaReplace power steering return hoseRepair parking brakeComplete brake system flush and checkRepair to manual air vents to obtain proper operation and sealsBalance tires and wheelsReplace entire fuel system including removal and replacement of both fuel tanks (new tanks), sending units, gaskets, seals, etc.Replaced all in trunk fuel hoses and clamps, checked EVAP vent hosesReplaced gaskets in filler capsReplaced 3 way solenoid valvesReplace Oil Pressure sensorAC service As is always the case with classic cars and particularly Jaguars of this vintage, there are a few items that could stand further attention, but they are mostly minor: the plastic vents in the dash top have deformed a bit from almost 40 years of sun and should be replaced. The side mirrors are actually from a Series 3, I am told. They function well but are not fully authentic. The trunk latch is a bit loose but functions well. The headliner is original and undamaged but there is a small spot over the passenger seat that has begun to sag from the matting. The sad fact is that I have too many cars, particularly jaguars, and so Cinnamon is being offered for sale to a good home. Please call me if you have questions and I encourage that you look at and drive this fine motorcar for yourself, and have your mechanic take a look. I believe that these Series 2 cars, particularly the long wheelbase V-12s, represent a tremendous classic car value in the current market. Haggerty values this car at $12,000 in #3 condition, and just under $18,000 in # 2 condition, with increasing values. I believe it is much closer to a #2 car than a #3, and have priced it accordingly; the price is somewhat negotiable but this is not a forced sale. More photos are available on Photobucket at: http://s751.photobucket.com/user/donj14/slideshow/ Please email me with questions and I will be happy to talk with you and make arrangements for a personal test drive. The car is located in Westbrook Connecticut, on the shoreline, about 30 minutes from New Haven. I have done my best to describe this vehicle, but it is almost 40 years old, and is therefore being sold as is and where is –there is with no warranty whatsoever, expressed written or implied, and no returns are accepted. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time with the exception of the last 12 hours as per eBay rules. Buyer is responsible for arranging for shipment. I will be happy to deliver the vehicle to a local parking area and meet the carrier with prior notice. PLEASE: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. Payment is due in full within 3 days of purchase cash in hand or certified check. If you have negative feedback in the last 12 months or have fewer than 10 positive feedback, contact me prior to bidding, or your bid will be rejected.

Jaguar : XJS Convertible 1990 jaguar xjs v 12 convertible 51 000 original miles drives beautifully

$9,500

Westbrook, Connecticut

Offered for sale is a lovely 1990 Jaguar XJS V-12. This car has had three prior owners, and its condition attests that it has always been cared for and maintained. Never rusted, no accidents (clean carfax). One repaint about seven or eight years ago was well done but shows some touch ups. The most significant are a deep scratch on the top of the passenger front fender, and a light crease along the driver front fender side, both of which are touched up but are visible on close inspection. The interior is all original and quite lovely. Excellent top; headliner shows some deterioration. Minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster; otherwise the leather is supple and quite nice. Excellent dash and instruments. All in all a very clean, very presentable driver, not a concourse car, but certainly showable. And it is an excellent driving car; starts instantly, runs smooth and cool. Starts, stops and handles just as it should. A great pleasure to drive. I have spent over $7,000 in the past two years bringing this Jag up to proper mechanical condition, including: New tiresNew front chin spoilerTune and fluids, including throttle bushing cleaningNew batteryNew brakes all around including new real stainless steel calipersRebuilt emergency brake works properlyCompletely rebuilt top hydraulics including rebuilt ramsNew resonators, front catalytic converters, CT emissions certifiedAll bills and receipts available. The only known issues are non-functioning cruise control (I never use it and have never bothered to have it checked) and the passenger rear window needing a motor. It has been fixed in the “up” position. New ones are backordered and not available; I have not wanted to put a used motor in and have simply been living with the window the way it is. I have too many cars to properly enjoy and care for at this point, and will be selling 4-6 of them, including at least 2 other Jags to come. I believe that I have priced this car fairly to the market and that it represents one of the best values-for-the-money available in the classic car market today. Please call with questions and to get more information. Test drives are strongly encouraged, mechanical inspections welcome. I have shipped cars that I have bought and sold over the years and am happy to assist with your carrier. As is the case, of course, with any vintage vehicle, this car is being sold as-is and without warranty. PLEASE, no low ball offers, dealers or brokers. Continental US buyers only. If you have negative feedback or fewer than 10 positive transactions, please call me before making an offer. Thanks for looking. Don 860-676-0717
