Major service done

'86 XJ12 Series III

This XJ12 HE was sold new via Jaguar Sauerland KG in Bochum and first registered on the 26th of May 1986. First service was done with 1480 kilometers on the 9th of July 1986. The original set of manuals with service book is present. Today this V12 Jag is appearing in excellent shape. 

The body has been disassembled, prepared for paint and a bare-metal repaint was carried out. Pictures of the process are present. After that it was carefully re-assembled with partial new gaskets. The car sits on the correct wheels in correct tire sizes. It wears its factory Bordeux Red color and a beautiful and all original black Connoly leather interior. The interior is in beautiful shape: beautiful supple leather, original carpets and vinyl and wood in great condition. The switchgear is working and everything is at is was in 1986.

The body is nice, straight and solid. Furthermore nice panelgaps, sharp lines and a beautiful finish in its factory color. The paint looks immaculate with a beautiful gloss. The bumpers show excellent chrome quality. 

The car has been off the road for some years and in the last few years a lot of time, effort, money and parts were invested to bring it back to working order.
