Hi All,
Well I went to Melbourne on Friday and picked up my XJ-S. Pretty much a 20 hour round trip in a slow old diesel Nissan towing a trailer both ways.

Good points:
Body is in superb condition. Paint is excellent. Has velour seats (not leather). Most of the car seems to be as the factory intended. Dash has no cracks. Most suspension bushes are new. Head gaskets are also new. It is a red one.

Bad points:
Car is missing the grille, air cleaner boxes and a panel underneath the front bumper (Car was sold to me as complete so I have asked the seller about their location). Seat velour is a bit worn. headlight retaining clips are broken. Most pipes/wires on the engine are not connected (many questions may be asked about this). Walnut on console and dash is pretty stuffed.

So all in all I think that I got myself a bargain.

Regards, Jim...

 

Good man! No point buying something perfect, what would you do? All that ends up happening is that you drive around in it and who wants to do that?

 

ive got a set of airboxes laying around. not sure if you want to pay U.S. to A.U. shipping to get them, but theyre red and i need them gone.

 

It's ok the missing items have been located by the seller and will be on their way to me very soon.

Very nice car. Once you get her back together and waxed, take and post some pictures for us to see!!

 

Congratulations on your new toy!
