Fine Details

For sale is my 2001 Jaguar XJ8 in British Racing Green. I have owned the car since August 2023 and have put ~5,000 miles on it in that time which included a trip to and from San Diego.  I purchased this car in San Diego after searching for one specifically in that market so that I could have PPI and initial maintenance done by Coventry Cars of San Diego which is a well-known and well-respected Jaguar indy shop. 

Since owning the car, I have worked on getting it mechanically sorted, which it is essentially, except for a few items noted as below. The bulk of what is left is cosmetic work, mostly on the exterior. Based on a few estimates I've received from body shops the body/paint work likely totals ~$3,000. 

I am only selling this car to make room for a new vehicle and to free up some funds for my other "fun" car--an old Range Rover.

I am asking $13,500, which based on the low mileage, condition, work I've done, and work remaining I believe is reasonable.  I am open to reasonable negotiations however. Please contact me at bfiedor@gmail.com. 

Please see fine detail below and feel free to reach out with questions. I have purchased several pre-owned, vintage cars directly from owners so have striven to make this listing as detailed as possible.  I appreciate honesty and transparency and would like to share that in return. 

The car is located at my home in Henderson, NV (suburb of Las Vegas). 

The vehicle comes with the following as pictured:

· 1 Key, 1 valet key, 2 fobs (the secondary one needs a new battery)

· Owner's manuals

· Custom Cocomats (I have the original Jaguar branded mats as well)

· Mina Gallery oval exhaust tips (I decided to keep the tips stock but will include these in the purchase. The Mina tips are much beefier.)

Work Done Since August 2023:

· January 2025: Oil/filter change; tail light replaced; rebuilt rear view mirror installed (Work done by Kensington Motors-Vegas local indy)

· September 2024: Oil/filter change; carbon canister hose/fittings replaced (Work done by Kensington Motors-Vegas local indy)

· April 2024: Oil/filter change; fuel filter replaced (Work done by Kensington Motors-Vegas local indy)

· Late 2024: New battery installed (AAA)

· December 2023: Oil/filter change; front shock absorbers replaced; rear shock absorbers and upper spring mounts replaced; front brake rotors and pads replaced; ABS module replaced with rebuilt unit; transmission flushed and renewed including new pan gasket and filter; brake system flush and renew; power steering fluid drain and renew;  front swaybar bushings and links replaced (Work done by Coventry Cars of San Diego-San Diego indy)

· September 2023: 4 new tires installed (Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus) (Work done by Discount Tire)

· August 2023: Oil/filter change; upper timing chain tensioners replaced/valve covers resealed as preventative job; differential pinion seal and flange replaced (Work done by Coventry Cars of San Diego-San Diego indy)

 Known Mechanical Issues:

· "TRAC Unavailable" message: ABS Module was replaced however I do get the "TRAC Unavailable" message for a few seconds upon start-up most times. It goes away after a few seconds. 

· Driver's door latch/cable: This has begun sticking recently. The door can be unlocked manually, from the fob, or from the center unlock button, but the latch cable likely needs to be replaced.

· Some remaining front end "clunk": Despite the suspension/swaybar work done as noted above there is a front end clunk that goes away after some driving and at higher speeds. I suspect a bushing somewhere needs to be replaced but I haven't addressed given it isn't an issue really.

· Radio: Radio is functional. I use it regularly, however some/all of the speakers likely need to be replaced. I currently have the bass turned all the way down for this reason. 

 Known Cosmetic Issues (Pictures of these can be provided):

· Exterior: Passenger side right fender dent as pictured. This was present on the vehicle when purchased. 

· Exterior: Passenger side right bumper as pictured: You'll see a small white patch in this area. The previous owner had a small reflector here and it was knocked off leaving the adhesive back and peeling some paint.

· Exterior: Side View Mirrors: There are some paint scuff marks on both mirrors. This was present on the vehicle when purchased. 

· Exterior: Driver's Side Door: Small paint chip.

· Exterior: Bumper has some areas where previous owner placed some touch up paint.

· Interior: Area around "S" button near gear selector stained slightly.

· Interior: Driver's side wood trim has some veneer cracking. This piece also tends to pop out slightly at times but can be pushed back into place.

· Interior: Passenger's side wood trim has some veneer cracking.

· Interior: Wood trim above glove box has some very faint scratches.

· Interior: All center functions/buttons work (A/C, heat, etc.) however the center section is a bit loose as the bottom clips have failed. This doesn't affect any of these features/functionality so I have not bothered to replace the clips.

· Interior: Driver's side speaker cover cracked.
