150,400 KILO, ON EBAY 05/07, SELLER WRITES:

Here is another of my cars for sale. This one is very different from the average 1983 XJ-S,in so much as this car currently enjoys the benefit of an XKE V12 Carburretted engine, mated to it's original 4 speed MANUAL SHIFT gearbox,and rides on TRUE JAGUAR knock off chromed wire wheels!

This car lived all it's life in Oklahoma,and Texas, until December of 2006,when I bought it. Now in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada.

The gearbox was shot,so I had that rebuilt by a Jaguar Master mechanic in OK City,at the same time the clutch was replaced,and all systems were checked and pronounced solid. The car has ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE! On my drive back to Canada, I had to replace the 4 tires and tubes,because the original tires were dry rotted and useless. The car drove me and my son home in great style and without missing a beat. We were really lucky with the weather, we left OK City on Sunday the 10th of December, and had NO inclement weather all the way home to Canada, and in fact when I got home to Port Hope, the weather was an unseasonable 15C! I put the car away for the spring and there she sat until I got her out in April to get the car safetied and recommissioned.

The car is fine in all respects save for the following:-

1/ Paintwork;

This has been painted in the ORIGINAL black,at sometime in the past, but the paint is awful on the hood,it is cracking, and I would repaint the hood.

2/ Engine;

Since storing the car over the winter, there seems to have been a problem that has manifested itself, in the right hand bank,on #3 cylinder.Namely a sticking valve. This is serious enough to warrant a valve job, and so I am pricing this car way lower than it appraised value.

The car was fine until trying to get her going after the winter layup. I changed the plugs and this improved things dramatically, but then there was some backfiring through the 3rd cylinder on the right hand bank. This is mentioned above.

This car is TOTALLY rust free, with BRAND NEW TIRES, Newly rebuilt 4 SPEED GEARBOX,with NEW CLUTCH etc. but a bad motor.

The car was appraised at CAD$10,000.00 before the motor started playing up. The component parts of the car are worth more separately, but I don't want to spoil the car, however, any Jaguar afficianados out there will know what I mean. I paid US$2500.00 for the gearbox rebuild and new clutch, which would have cost me DOUBLE that in Canada or in NY-NJ-PA.

The tires cost me US$700.00, still under warranty,receipts to prove, and I paid these monies ON TOP of what I paid for the car!

I am starting the bidding in CANADIAN funds, at the build year of the car, my reserve is way less than the appraised value for insurance.

DON'T FORGET, WHERE WILL YOU FIND A TOTALLY RUST FREE,

1983 XJ-S, IN CANADA, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER?
