Specifications and History I bought this always southern California car in 2011. I have used it as my daily driver until 12/2014. I serviced the car regularly with a Jaguar specialist in Pasadena. It has always been garaged at night. Fuel has always been premium and the oil has always been Valvoline VR1. I never had any breakdowns or failures to start. The drivetrain runs strong and smooth. The A/C blows cold but the Jaguar fans don't move a lot of air. Everything works except the rear window defrost, the clock, and the radio. The original radio is still in the car. The previous owner bought the car in 1999. He did extensive work with receipts totaling over 15, 000. He replaced the original engine with a series III Jaguar XJ6 engine. The engine still has 2 Stromberg 175s and the pervious owner made custom intake manifolds and needles for them. The seats were replaced with series III seats and the original series I seats are included but will need to be reupholstered. The car has always run strong for me and it has been quite reliable. It has never overheated; never past the "r" in "normal" on the gauge. Major Repairs 2003 repaint 2003 new door and window seals 2005 rebuilt Borg-Warner Model 8 transmission and converter 2006 new headliner...etc
