I’m sure this will end up as a parts car, but I got it anyway.
Engine runs - if you can call it that - belching smoke, dropped seat clacking away, oh dear!
Seats wrecked, paint bubbles everywhere
There are few bits on it though; rear anti roll bar, new rack, 3.31 diff.
I actually like the colour, but I like Willow and Ascot too.

I just thought I’d post this,

U.S. car with Ontario plates. I’m surprised that the vendor let you keep the plates.

Rob, if you’re still buying early XJ-Ses let me know. Thinking about selling mine, and is in much better shape.
Only half kidding, since one day I’ll have to give it up.

It doesn’t look that bad to me. I have a bunch of parts including two motors from a 76 & 78 if you get around to fixing it. I actually sold a lot of parts from them overseas. Both cars were totally rotted out with no hope of resurrection.
I found this in the console. I imagine it’s to record onto the cassette? For the jet-setting fellows of the time.

If you part it out, I could use the rear sway bar, links and mounting brackets.

The hood would make a great wall ornament in a bar paying tribute to the 70’s!

How do you know it’s a U.S. car?
To me, the body looks in good shape, at least from what the photos show …
