1989 Jaguar XJS V12 convertible. Blue with blue leather. 62,000 miles. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it forever, but, here it is. Originally owned by an insurance company in Albany New York, sold to an attorney in Albany, then sold to an attorney that lives near me. The prior owner let it sit for 4 years, I bought it, it wouldn't start.  I got it going, NICE, it runs smooth, but you can't drive it around because of the power steering leak, and, the brakes. It does drive creamy smooth, you need to feel that, a V12 is incredible.  Well, here's a list of good and bad.
    GOOD
   VERY early factory convertible, build date June 1988
   Brand new oil and filter, 10.5 quarts         
   New distributor
   New pick up coil in distributor
   New rotor
   Included but not installed, new front brake pads
   A Convertible!\
   Leather
   Wood
   62,000 miles
   Convertible top is perfect
   Body is shiny, no rust, hood is a bit dull
   Rear of body and trunk vern nice as far as rust goes
   It's now an ANTIQUE
   BAD

   High pressure power steering hose leaking and needs replaced
   Brake pads needed on front, ALL 4 CALIPERS MAY BE FROZEN, driving the car may free them up. It still moves forward in D with no gas pedal
   Flooorboards are RUSTED THROUGH. There is a hole by the driver's and passenger's feet. Driver's side is worse
   Wires were chewed by mice. Still to be fixed... alternator needs wire hooked up to D+ terminal, Coolant sensor needs connected. Cruise control was brittle and broke off. There are loose wire on both sides of the trunk. One side may be a home security system, the other factory towing hook up. There may be other wires to attend to, I don't know
   Top is leaking hydraulic fluid and doesn't go down, I didn't look at it yet, there is a manual bypass switch.
   Console wood is very bad, dash wood is OK
   Hood and trunk struts need replaced
   Leather is worn, but, I have seen much worse

The biggest problem is the power steering hose, it leaks right out. I am working on that now, but selling the car will eliminate that problem...for me.
There may be other problems, it is a 25 year old Jaguar, I am being brutally honest, I would prefer you looked the car over with me. Cash only, please, that's what I paid, no checks, no Money Orders, no anything, even if you become my best buddy. Cash only, PLEASE. Since this is PA, we must also go to a notary to sign the title.
$4500, or make offer. Please call 570 898 1992

Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.
