hi everyone --need some help -- im considering a purchase of my 3 ed xjs --however this one is rare a 88 manual 5 speed v12 --the body is ok not bad the miles are 86000 --leaks alittle oil -- was very fun to drive so my question is how many were inported and what is the value of this gem -- any help would be appreciated

 

AFAIK, the factory made no manuals after about 1979. The factory made 3.6 litre straight 6 manuals, including the XJSC versions. Any VIN numbers or documentation to throw light on it? Of course it could be a rare conversion (eg a TWR job, or more likely an aftermarket conversion from 3.6 5 speed to V12). What make of gearbox does it have?

You have one already that you're trying to sell? Or you're trying to buy one?

 

thanks Greg my vin is SAJNA3842JC142590 and yes I'm buying not selling

 

Jags don't leak.
They mark their territory

 

VIN number says Auto gearbox, so it would seem somebody has converted it.
