Hi Gang,
My wife has finally made me realize I'll never get to finish this project,
so sadly
I'm offering it for sale.

Its a 1976 Jag XJS, completely original, with the extremely rare 4-speed
manual
transmission. Only about 300 were made with this option, and none were
(legally)
sold in the USA. The original owner of this car ordered it as an automatic,
and had it converted to a 4-speed by the Jag dealership using all original,
correct
parts ordered from the factory. This is the only one I've heard of in the
USA.

Now for the fun...the engine needs work. Valve seat dropped when engine
overheated,
and destroyed one piston and one head. Engine/trans is out of the car. Other
than this
the car is in good overall condition with original paint (brown), and
interior.

Clear CA title and currently on non-op.

Asking $2,500 FIRM. Please don't ask about buying individual parts.
Located in the San Francisco bay area (Santa Rosa). Serious parties only
please.
This car deserves a good home.
