Up for auction is a beautiful Red 1985 Jaguar XJS Coupe. It was one of my grandfather's daily drivers for years. It is in excellent working order with about 112000 GENTLE miles. It has the usual minor issues associated with a Jaguar of this age. There are a few cracks on the wood dash. The leather is not cracked and in good shape. It also has the usual minor chips and dings. When my grandfather passed away in 2010, it was parked. Although I've been maintaining it by occasionally starting it and driving it, the AC has lost it's charge. The driver's window switch also needs cleaning (as all 80's jags do). That's all the bad. The car runs, shifts, drives like a new car. She has a brand new battery and the Yokohama tires have a lot of tread on them. Oh, I've also installed a cd changer in the glove box that looks and works nicely. It also has upgraded speakers. It has no issues passing smog. The car is currently non-opped so registration fees wouldn't pile up. The title is --clear--.
Please have a look at the photos as I've tried to be as open and honest as possible. Again, this was one of my grandfather's most loved cars and it needs to go to a good home as it will make an excellent daily driver.
Oh, one more thing, I can help arrange for shipping if needed -to the person who wins the auction- I won't, however, be answering questions like, "how much for shipping to...?" There are several internet-based auto transport companies who can provide a fast and competitive quote. Some advertise on hemmings and some advertise here on ebay. I'm willing to be flexible for loading times. The pickup location is 95023. I hope that's clear enough:)
Happy Bidding!!

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Editor's Note: Our reporter was anxious to get some time behind the wheel of the XF Sportbrake, even though Jaguar only had a very small window available for us to drive it. As a result, we weren't able to capture our usual original images to go with the Quick Spin story. Please accept our regrets, and Jag's lovely stock photography, instead.
The last wagon attempt from Jaguar was the X-Type, built between 2003 and that model line's unceremonious end in 2009. That X-Type and its legacy represent a real dog of a chapter for Jaguar, and for the Halewood factory where the barker was built. It was the final joke told prior to the brand's proper rebirth phase - a phase we're enjoying the heck out of today.
Current magnanimous Jaguar owner Tata can be thanked for this new wagon, the XF Sportbrake. Like all newness coming from Jag these days, this new wagon also feels lightyears more serious an offering, ready to compete squarely with established premium wagon makers across Europe. A Jaguar wagon in America is a far-off priority for the company, frankly. Still we deserve to know what we're missing for the time being from this (sometimes overly) cherished British firm.
2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
Jaguar Buys World's Largest Collection Of British Classic Cars
Fri, Jul 25 2014This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar's Special Operations division announced today it has bought the world's largest collection of classic British cars. The 543 cars had belonged to wealthy dental entrepreneur Dr. James Hull, who sold the entire collection to the British automaker for $170 million dollars. Jaguar scored 130 of its own vehicles in the lot, including a XK, SS, C, D and E-types, XJ as well as a few rare Land Rovers, according to Road & Track. The division that bought the cars is not only responsible for the heritage museum, but also for special projects. Special Operations finished the 18-car run of the lightweight E-types, albeit 50 years late. Jaguar plans to use the cars as promotional pieces to highlight the history of the brand, according to Cars UK. Related Gallery Retro Features Car Shoppers Still Want
