1990 Jaguar XJS V8 - Chevy Corvette powered
NO RESERVE AUCTION - HIGH BID WINS
I bought this Jaguar as part of a HUGE Jaguar E-type barn find a couple of years ago. (Here’s an article from Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car / April, 013 about that barn find). I don’t know a lot about it. it didn’t have any paperwork. It does run and drive, ut for the purpose of me selling and you buying this car, e are considering this car a PROJECT CAR.
Also, his car has a “SALVAGED” California title.
You are buying a car that certainly needs work done to the steering box and the brakes, t needs new rear tires (see below) and it leaks oil. That is the minimum it needs. Again, onsider this car a PROJECT CAR if you are buying it.

The paint is a 5 out of ten. It appears to have some hard water stains and “swirls” from being buffed, ut I think that a good detail and clay bar would bring it right back to life.
The interior is good. you can see significant wear on the piping and bolster of the drivers seat, here you would enter the car. That’s probably the worst spot and I think the rest is generally good.
The tops looks to be in very good condition, ith what appears to be original glass.
The chrome and brightwork appears to be good all the way around.
Those supercool Jag BBS wheels are in good condition, ut it will most likely need new tires, specially in the rear, fter we did this, ttps://youtu.be/Du-VFo_JXM, I told you that we had some fun with it. This is something you won’t see many XJS’s pulling off.
The electrics seem to be in good order, ut I don’t think there’s any a/c and the radio requires a code to make it operational. I don’t have that code, o haven’t been able to test it. The top goes up and down.
The hood (or bonnet) doesn’t stay up. You’ll need to prop something in there.
HERE’S A VIDEO STARTING THE CAR, UTTING THE TOP UP AND DOING A LITTLE BURNOUT
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT IT!
It was built most likely in the mid-late 90’s. it was purchased by George Eldridge in April 2000 with 39007 miles. He had a house in California and one in NC. He had a huge stockpile of Jaguar E-type chassis and parts. His widow told me that he drove this around California for a while and then shipped it to NC. George died in 2009 and a few years later, bought what turned out to be one of the largest E-type barn finds in history and this car came with the collection. It was a typical barn find kind of car, hich we cleaned up and had some fun with.
I don’t know who did the work, ut it appears to me to have been done by someone who knew what they were doing. it has a mid 80’s Fuel-injected Corvette engine, hich fits snugly in that engine bay.
