Sellers description:
THIS IS A VERY STRAIGHT RUST FREE LOW MILEAGE CALIFORNIA SERIES 1
XJ6 SEDAN THAT HAS HAD AN VERY HIGH QUALITY REPAINT WITH
ALL TRIM REMOVED AND PERFORMED SO NICELY THAT THERE ARE NO LINES
ANYWHERE ON THE INSIDES OF BUMPERS UNDER THE HOOD OR TRUNK.
IT IS DONE SO NICELY YOU WOULD SWEAR IT WAS ORIGINAL PAINT.

THE WORKING ODOMETER SHOWS 50985 MILES AND COUNTING...

THE CAR HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CONVERTED (UNSURE WHEN) TO A
CHEVY 350 4 BARREL ENGINE AND TURBO HYDRAMATIC 400 GM TRANSMISSION
AND DONE VERY NICELY, EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS WHERE IT IS.
THE ENGINE BAY WAS REPAINTED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND THE LAYOUT IS CLEAN AND THOUGHT OUT.

ALL CHROME ON THE CAR IS IN AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION HOWEVER THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPER WERE RECHROMED AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE
AND THE PROTECTIVE COATING WAS ONLY REMOVED 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER YEARS OF STORAGE. THE CAR RUNS, DRIVES AND HANDLES VERY WELL CONSIDERING BEING GARAGED AND OFF THE ROAD FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS AND WILL CHIRP THE TIRES BETWEEN GEARS WITHOUT TRYING HARD, SHE IS GREAT FUN TO DRIVE.
THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION OPERATE WELL, SHE SHIFT UP AND DOWN NORMALLY AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS FROM ANYWHERE UNDERNEATH.

THE INTERIOR HAS RECEIVED NEW FRONT AND REAR SEATS COMPLETE WITH NEW FOAM INSERTS AND COVERS...THE CARPETING IS IN VERY ORIGINAL AND GOOD CONDITION, THERE ARE NEW DOOR CARDS & THE WOOD ON THE DASH AND ON DOORS HAS BEEN REFINISHED.

THE CAR HAS 4 BRAND NEW REAR SHOCKS AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE TO PERFORM REAR BRAKE JOB HAS BEEN DONE. IF YOU KNOW JAGUARS THE REAR BRAKES ARE INBOARD NEAR THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE JOB IS RATHER LABOR INTENSIVE AND COSTLY TO PERFORM. THIS IS DONE...

ALL LIGHTS WORK, BLINKERS WORK, THE RADIO IN THE DASH IS OLDER AND AT THE MOMENT NOT FUNCTIONING, ALL WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR HAS A CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE. THE DASH IS PERFECT WITH NO CRACKS, THE WINDOWS HAVE NO YELLOWING OR CRACKS & THE SEATS ARE FIRM AND SUPPLE.
