Sellers description:
1973 Jaguar XJ ready to cruise. This is a no pet, no smoked in auto that has been garaged (temperature controlled) throughout my five plus years of ownership. After a nearly a complete restoration, here is an opportunity for someone to grab a classic as my loss is definitely someone's gain, but I will not give it away. I have invested a lot in this Jag as indicated below. So if you or someone you know have been searching, here is a chance to win one.

There are a few things/blemishes and I am listing all to the best of my knowledge. The odometer does not reflect its actual miles as it has a new engine with only 2,253 miles; a few door dings on passenger side rear door; could use a driver door bushing; trunk lid slightly raised on passenger side needs adjusting; no radio installed, but available; dash temperature gauge works sometimes (alternate working gauge is installed); due to limited driving, carburetor may or may not need adjusting;* low beam headlights not working, replacement lamps available; working air conditioner needs re-charging; rear passenger side window operates slower than others, but replacement motor available & there is a windshield blemish on the passenger side.

Here are the goodies; excellent GM chevy engine with approximately 2,253 miles; newly rebuilt 400 transmission (receipt on-hand) with only 2,047 miles; new AC dryer; new 810cca battery; new carpet thru-out + floor mats front & rear; new upholstered butter soft leather front seats, nice rear seats, nice headliner, nice dashboard, new rear window deck, new upholstered trunk; new sun visors; #4 new Perelli tires - under 2,200 miles, excellent full-size spare; all exterior *lights work to include interior side post lamps-dash lights-map light; all power windows work; all door locks work; cigarette lighter works; heater & defrost works; air-conditioner works (need recharging); both fuel tanks removed, professionally cleaned & coated; new fuel sending units; new fuel filters; all new engine belts; new radiator hoses; new thermostat; new brakes; brake hoses; tinted windows; automatic transmission; replaced front rack-n-pion; paint is 4yrs, 4 mos old and have some receipts on hand. I'm sure there are some things I have forgotten, but will update & add additional pics soon.

This Jag is 38 years old, but I believe it is more reliable today than it was originally. It runs and drives nicely, however there are no warranties expressed or implied; and is sold as is. I have a few additional good parts on-hand and will offer them to the winner of this auction. I have been holding them since they are expensive and sometimes difficult to find. This Jag is driveable, but I would recommend having it transported (buyer responsible) to protect your investment.
