I'm trying to find a 1993/1994 Jaguar XJ12 or XJS V12 

   Anyplace in the country.  Running or not.  Smashed, bent, or rusted.  
    But going city by city is driving me crazy.  I'm sure I'm missing some.  
   
 Please explain how like you're talking to your grandfather,   not anybody who knows anything.  
 Thank you in advance.

The text in red is a hyperlink.  It will take you to a website, just like this one except worse.

Move the pointer on your screen to hover over the hyper link, do this with your mouse.  Use the right button on your mouse to "click" on the link.

I'm lost from there, good luck.

Next up real Searchtempest help.

If you don't have any grandkids, borrow someone elses.  Pay them $25.  Problem solved.

You should skip the jag and get a 4.2 Atlas. It makes more power.

Autotempest is better for car searches than Searchtempest.

In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :

93&94 are the last of the forged Crankshafts, after that they went to Sintered Iron.  That's fine for the street but flat out racing, where you barely ever are less than flat out it's not as strong won't take as much abuse.

Yes, but I believe you have to click it and it opens it up in a new tab.

I'll try... would take five minutes in person, but I'll give this a try. 
1)  open Craig in city of choice. Click on "cars and trucks"

That's how it looks on an old I phone. Computer is similar, but different  

2) At top on phone (sidebar on computer, I think) find the field with "Minneapolis"  in it:

When you touch "Minneapolis", it brings up a menu of nearby cities Scroll to bottom, and you'll see "use Map..." :

3) touch "use map..." and it brings up a map of search area:

Touch map with thumb and pointer finger, and pinch them together, and it will zoom to a circle encompassing 250 miles, and the circle can be moved to where ever ya want:

Sound more complicated than it is, and can be moved from area to area, after you narrow your search to "Jaguar"

If you can get someone to help ya get comfortable with it, I like it better than the "all of Craig's"type sites

Like my dad, I can be a bit grumpy, (sometimes more than a bit!)

But my dad (and not because I'm biased - total truth) was one of the very best theory instructors that ever lived! 
Everything good about me, I can thank him for... everything bad, well, I can "thank" him also!

glad to help!

Thank you but I'm looking more for a parts donor than a driver. 

You'll need to log in to post.
