1985 Jaguar Xjs Base Coupe 2-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
Stafford Springs, Connecticut, United States
I bought this car from Texas. It is rust free and I had it painted 5 or 6 years ago. It pretty much sits in my garage except for an occasional 1/2 drive. Today I was showing it to a potential buyer and the engine started making a loud ticking noise. With a stethoscope it is loudest at the right hand cylinder head. I am sure this is the dropped valve seat. I do have a pair of heads and a tool to remove the heads. I bought these things years ago just in case. Guess it was a good thing I bought these. I have no time for a few months to work on this. So I decided if I can get my reserve I would just let the car go. If not, I will repair it over the winter and sell it in the spring.
Here is what I can remember doing. Ask me about anything else. Water pump Electric fans from V12s Replace A/C compresser and hoses Convert A/C to R134a Belts Hoses Fuel line hoses fuel line hose in trunk(boot) Coat tank while out of car with sealer Replace fuel pump John's cars GM alternator kit 700R4 transmission conversion from John's cars and Bowtie Overdrive Master Cylinder Recovered Headliner Re-dyed leather interior Re-dyed wool carpet installed dyna mat type sound deadener/insulation Ipod capable stereo New injector harness Painted 5-6 yrs ago There may be more. I will add if I think of it. I will not take PayPal because of the fees. Money order or bank check please. I expect payment within 7 days of the end of the auction. If you do pay with a personal check it has to clear before the car leaves my garage. I do not have a trailer or way to transport the vehicle. Transportation is up to you. It does run and drive but because of the noise I would not take a chance on major engine damage if the valve seat breaks. It does drive enough to be loaded onto a truck. My zip code is 06076. |

Jaguar XE bares its claws in 74 images [w/video]
Wed, 01 Oct 2014The XE may prove to be the most vital new model to Jaguar's expansion. But to date we've only really seen it in top-spec, supercharged XE S form. That ends right here and now, however, as Jaguar releases details, photos and even a brief video clip showing the entire range - including those most customers are bound to buy.
Globally speaking - or at least in its home market - Jaguar will offer the XE with five different engines and in four different trim levels. The new Ingenium engine family includes two diesels and two turbocharged gasoline options along with the top-of-the-line supercharged V6 that will serve as the XE's performance flagship model, at least until a new SVR version comes along. Both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions are on offer, and overseas buyers will also be able to choose between base SE, mid-range Prestige, opulent Portfolio, dynamic R-Sport and range-topping S trim levels.
Of course not every engine is available in each trim level and with either transmission, so instead of 40 combinations we're looking at 22. Once the XE reaches American showrooms, we'll likely be looking at even fewer, as we're not expecting the manual and diesel versions to be offered Stateside. Stay tuned as well for our live impressions from the floor of the Paris Motor Show. But in the meantime you can scope out all the details and UK specifications in the press release below, along with the short video and the gallery of 74 high-resolution images above.
Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X and Model S: How they compare on paper
Thu, Mar 8 2018When Jaguar released its first specifications on the 2019 I-Pace, we decided to see how it stacks up with a number of other EVs including the Tesla Model 3, Chevy Bolt EV, and Hyundai Kona EV. The reason being that they all deliver between 200 and 300 miles of range, and they were all quite close in size. But it wasn't a perfectly accurate comparison, because the Jaguar occupies an odd space in the electric market. While it offers similar range and size to those more entry-level EVs, it packs substantially more power, more brand cachet, and, once the official pricing was released, a much higher price tag. As such, we wanted to also compare it with the cars synonymous with luxury electric motoring (literally), the Tesla Model X and Model S. We're only comparing it with the base-level 75D models of each Tesla, since they are the closest in price and performance to the Jaguar. You can see the raw stats below, and can find more analysis and highlights farther down. If you'd like to compare these cars with others, be sure to try out our comparison tools. Performance All three of these electric cars use a similar powertrain consisting of two electric motors, one up front and one in the rear to power all four wheels. The Jaguar I-Pace's 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque is a fair bit more than the 328 horsepower and 387 pound-feet combined power from the Teslas, according to Motor Trend. But in the sprint to 60 mph, the Jaguar doesn't really gain an advantage. It's 0.4 seconds quicker than the Model X, but 0.3 sec. behind the Model S. This is despite the Jaguar weighing about the same as the Model S, and a few hundred pounds lighter than the Model X. View 32 Photos At 90 kWh, the Jaguar also has a larger battery capacity than the Tesla 75D models, but range is again mid-pack between Musk's cars. At 240 miles, it's just 3 miles ahead of the Model X, and 19 miles behind the Model S. The I-Pace and Model X also are about as hungry for electricity as each other, both with an energy consumption estimate of about 36 kWh/100 miles, while the Model S is the most frugal at 33. All three vehicles have the ability to use DC fast chargers, with Jaguar claiming an 80-percent charge in 40 minutes at a 100-kW charger. But only the Teslas have access to the Supercharger network, and they come with credits for free charging up to 400 kWh at those stations. Exterior and Interior Dimensions In every measurable way, the Jaguar is smaller than the two Teslas.
