Hello
For Sale is my recently acquired Jaguar XJR, please see the original eBay advert below, followed by my comments...
Reluctantly for sale here is my lovely XJR.
I have used the car for the last year or so and it has been absolutely faultless, it pulls like a train and never fails to put a smile on your face. I have owned a V12 XJS in the past and this car is in a different league!
The car is in reasonably good condition all round with a few minor cosmetic blemishes, the roof and boot have patches of very fine scratches but I suspect would be well improved with a good machine polish. The driver's seat bolster is in need of some TLC, it was my plan to buy one of the Furniture Clinic kits for this and return it to as new. Other than that the car is relatively tidy all round inside and out.
In my time of owning the car I have serviced the car approximately every 4000 miles, it has received several oil and filter changes and received a full service including plugs on purchase. I have changed the supercharger oil and fitted a 10% upper pulley. This gives an approximate gain of 20hp and 20lb/ft of torque in the mid range, it certainly feels ballistic!
As part of the work on the car I have replaced the front subframe V mounts, rebushed the shock absorbers, replaced all ball joints and track rod ends and had the steering rack fully refurbished, followed by a full 4 wheel alignment.
The car is fitted with Nexen N Fera SU1 tyres at the rear and Michelin Pilot Sport 3s at the front, these inspire a lot of confidence for such a big car and have around 4mm of tread remaining.
The car has covered just over 136,000 miles and is continuing to be used on sunny weekend days, it is always a pleasure to drive and I will be sad to see it go.
It comes with an extensive history file with many receipts and bills including the original driver's leather bound handbook.
The car has MOT until June 2018 so could be driven away no problems as long as it is taxed by the new owner. The private plate is included in the sale.
I purchased the Jag on the 5th August and have decided to put it back up for sale after having my mechanic advise me on a few things listed below:
Rear ARB bushes need replacing circa £25 for the pair
All 4 UJ's ideally need replacing or second hand drive shafts fitting (UJ's either £16 or £42 each)
Front tyres close to legal limit on inner edge
Alarm Fobs temperamental but locks/arms on the key of which their are two
Roof and Bootlid ideally need respraying
Its a lovely 10 yard Car and does go like Thunder, currently without the facilities to carry out the work the labour element for above depending on the route (DIY or Garage) you take has to be factored in.
I paid just shy of £3000 for the Car and am willing to cut my losses as my mojo is kicked in the nuts and if I lock it away in my Garage it may stay their forever which is a shame!!
MOT Until June 2018, with the upgraded pulley looking at around 390BHP plus, seriously quick.
I may consider a swap or p/x for something German, try me you never know, if you have any questions call me on o797673624B
I can also email more pictures if required.
