Car Information: | 4.2L inline 6 Motor with automatic 3 Speed Transmission Kingfisher blue with Black Interior If you're looking for a prime example of a Series II, this is the car for you. It has accumulated all of its 112k miles in California; the last 9 years/25k miles with me (3rd owner).
Originally primrose yellow, I spent $3.5k on a complete color change to Kingfisher Blue metallic (XJS color). Outboard headlights were converted back to the proper European 7". Factory splash guards and stainless steel wheel arch moldings protect the paint. Windows are tinted light smoke on the sides, medium on the rear. The small cat hood ornament was added to complete the classic look.
On the inside, a complete GW Bartlett black leather interior kit was added. Pleat style is narrow with perforated leather. Front door finishers were upgraded to XJ12 style with carpet and chrome trim adjacent to the speakers. Four new Peerless polyproplene speakers have been added to the Blauplunkt am/fm/cassette and equalizer.
In the trunk, the rusted ventilation assembly and worn trunk hinges were replaced and a GW Bartlett trunk kit added.
Mechanical items new or rebuilt include: front end, brakes, shocks, windshield wiper motor, Stromberg carburetors(manual chokes), air injection pump, water pump, radiator, rear mufflers, engine and transmission mounts. A new set of 4 Michelin XGT 215/65VR15 tires have less than 100 miles. Other upgrades include conversion to GM 95 amp alternator, Jacobs electronic ignition, custom reinforced engine mount brackets, and urethane steering rack bushings.
Priced to enjoy at $6,500. Yes, there others for less, but it wold be difficult to find another that rides, drives, and looks as good as this one. $6,500
