Default time to say googbye to my xjs

looks like we may be parting ways-no room at the inn any more-time to let someone else enjoy as car just sat last year...its on the auction site.

Bugga.

However you must do what you must do.

I too have reduced from 9 Jags to our 2 S Types, and letting the 4 V12's go was a sad day indeed.

I think l have the answer to the cruise control.
There is a small white plastic washer on the control rod that goes to the bellows. this goes wrong. Couple of bucks from Terrys....

well it looks like today is the day the auction ends-my reserve of 3100 was met. A new owner should be enjoying this car, auction is ending in 6 hours from now. sad to see this xjs go but I just have no room with another car coming out of the resto shop in April. I just wanted to thank everyone here for all there help and information over the past couple of years.

The XJS is hard to get out of the blood. I wont be surprised if one day you pick up another one and rejoin us.

Good luck to you. See you again soon!

Hi,

I'm the one who won the auction. So I guess the car will stay in WI next to my '94 XJS.

well it looks like this will be up for sale again..no idea why people bid then win and then do not answer emails or answer there phones. I just can not leave this sit for a year, such a nice car with way too many projects to finish this year and no time to drive this.

Just curious why you decided not to buy the car? Sounds like you were excited to park it next to your 94 XJS...

Just lowered the car price reserve below 3 grand..who would have thought you could own one of these for that kind of money. If it doesn't sell for that it was meant to be put in storage.
