Mystery Jaguar XJS
What’s going on everybody, new to the forum and I don’t know why I’ve had my fair share of Jags of the years and could’ve really used this forum for some help! Excited to be here though
Yesterday I was driving down a neighborhood in Long Island NY and saw a crazy car collection on some guys front lawn. Naturally I stopped and knocked on the guys door
long story short there was an XJS under a cover that he claimed to be an XJR-S....I am almost 100% certain that it is not
he claimed it to have been a customer car that he acquired the title to after he didn’t pick it up and that the 6.0 engine was still in there. I looked at the engine and it looked like a regular V12 to me...nothing special I don’t think
hes also claiming those wheels wheels to be apart of a special model but to me they just look like the wheels off of a 1996 Jaguar XJR
now the only thing throwing me off about this car is that the emblem on the hood says Jaguar Silverstone....I’ve never seen and XJS with a Silverstone badge has anyone else?
The VIN shows as an ‘89 XJS
SAJNY5845KC162017
the black headlight surrounds also threw me off a little
any ideas if this car is something special or if he’s just telling a tale?
