Another Jaguar restoration, this time a 1979 Jaguar XJS V-12. This vehicle was custom built for a retired pilot that wanted to tour the country in something that could be fixed anywhere.

The original interior was black Connolly leather. We changed it to tan.

The finished engine bay. A 5.7 liter Chevrolet engine with custom valve covers, a turbo-hydramatic 400 transmission with a laylock overdrive which gave it 6 speeds. Pretty head stuff for the early 1980's.

"The car looks, runs and feels just like it did when we took possession on a snowy day in Cleveland in April 1953!"
