Description
Condition: This vehicle was purchased three years ago with the intent of making is a daily summer driver. Nearly all the mechanical work to achieve that has been done to the extent that I am driving it to work and have taken it on several 6 hour road trips with no issues. At this point though my “life situation” has changed making a red. two door. v12. sports car a poor fit. Recent work: Tires Replaced roughly 3k miles ago Some extra wear on inside of the fronts due to suspension issue that has been resolved (see suspension below) Suspension Upper and lower ball joints (all) replaced Front sway bar remounted and bushings replaced Front end alignment in 2015 Brakes Front Pads and rotors replaced. Rears checked ok 3k miles ago. Brake system flush/fill Cooling Both thermostats replaced Converted to electric main fan (2300 CFM) Coolant system flush/fill Ignition system New cap and rotor Replaced main computer Replaced plugs and wires (ALL plugs replaced. Several are often not due to the difficulty/cost) New main Coil Replaced idle controller/sensor Known issues Interior: Needs new headliner and the stitching on the drivers seat leather needs to be patched in one place. Otherwise the interior is in good condition. Climate control/AC and drivers gauge cluster work. Exterior: A few small blemishes with one the size of a quarter. The majority of the car's paint has been professionally buffed out by a body shop which remove the 30 years of normal wear you'll find on an XJS normally and brought back much of the the original brightness. Still has the original fog lamp covers. The rear license plate light covers need to be replaced. Mechanical: Small exhaust leak at one joint and the transmission seal needs to be replaced at some point—it is “seeping” very slowly but has not progressed in the last two years. Wipers work but do not “park. ” Has occasional "stalling" issue during early warm-up (before the coolant temp gauge moves)--issue not present when warmed up even on restart. History: Purchased the vehicle roughly three years ago from a used car lot that had little history on the vehicle. It is surprisingly clean for its’ age and I have kept it off the road in the Michigan winters. Shipping and payment: Consider this a local sale/pickup item (Pickup from Comstock Park.
