This 1992 car was kind of a hybrid model externally when I bought it, being a Facelift model but with the pre-facelift chrome bumpers. This was modified (see below) to ensure the car looked the proper facelift model it is. |
Restoration Work |
|||||
Following my purchase in 2018 the car underwent an in depth restoration, to ensure there were no lurking rust areas etc. The car was then stripped, filled, primed and resprayed |
Modifications |
|||||
The modification carried out on this car was to correct the exterior look, which had pre-facelift bumpers on a facelift car (all interior and rear lights were facelift model). |

Hybrid exterior |
This photo shows the car as it was when I bought it in 2015, with the pre-facelift bumpers. As there was quite a bit of restoration work involved the decision was taken to get the car looking like a proper facelift XJS, to match all the interior etc. It required acquiring replacement wings and facelift bumpers (I bought a donor car for this), along with some brackets to be fabricated. The whole car was then primed and resprayed. |
