Hello Jaguar Folks:
My Girl had a Jaguar many years ago and was always “missing it”. Around the holidays she ran into the owner and he stated it had not been on the road in many-many years so we bought it a second time, lol!
1989 XJS Convertible, navy blue paint with tan interior and black top. Marelli ignition. 50K-miles
Did not run at all upon receipt. Engine and wiring are a giant greasy/hacked/cut/spliced-mess from years of poor maintenance and neglect. A buffet of mistakes on this car.
I got the car running and did not drive it one inch. Took it apart to some degree and going through car front to back. I am an aircraft mechanic (and aircraft engine builder) by trade, but this engine is certainly unique. I look forward to assistance and continuing to learn from other members as well as getting this girl on the road again!
