1988 Jaguar XJ-SC V12 — $19,500

· ·

27,064 original miles. Black with Magnolia leather, 5.3L V12 and Dayton wire wheels. Many DVJC members have seen this XJ-SC during my ownership and know the story of bringing it back to reliable driving condition. The work is now complete, including restoration of the Delanair III climate-control system and conversion to R134a air conditioning. It starts easily, runs beautifully and is ready to enjoy. Original paint presents well with normal imperfections. Original radio, soft top and mounting hardware are included. Service records from my ownership and the previous owner, along with detailed documentation of the work performed. Clean Delaware title. Located in North Wilmington. I’ve enjoyed restoring the XJ-SC, but another project has taken its place in my garage.  $19,500. Contact Jay Greene – jaygreenephoto@mac.com  302-593-0448 (more…)

After carefully watching the rapidly approaching thunderstorms on our phones, we decided to hasten our departure to the New Garden Air Field only about 20 miles away.  Losing a number of members who feared the show would be canceled due to the storms, six members and guests made it to the New Garden Air Show entrance exactly at the same time the dramatic thunderstorms appeared accompanied by torrential rain.  All of this unfortunate weather created some confusion about the Car Show location but eventually we got everything sorted out just as the weather cleared about 1 ½ hour later. By 3:30 PM, the runway was re-opened and flights resumed with the promise of blue sky’s and much cooler (more…)
