I'm looking at a 1986 JAGUAR XJS V-12 with 87K miles on the clock.

The car was in storage for 10 years but was started and "runs rough".

Owner says he replaced all the injectors but it needs plugs and wires.

Love these cars. Price is low. May just need to be run. Not sure if he drained all the fuel or just added. I'd run rough too.

Thoughts? What to look for?

 

Welcome,

Appears excellent but always look beyond the glossy paintwork so as not to get bitten.

Check the XJS 1975-1996 section for two recent threads with many pics of XJS restorations. These guys have done it all and will be able to tell you exactly what to look for.

Are you a tinkerer?
