Greetings!  I have decided to sell my 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible. You may say to yourself, oh! another XJS for sale. Well! I follow the XJS market very closely. There once was a time you could have any E type you wanted for these prices also. This is a wonderful car and will serve its new owner for years to come. This is the fourth XJS that I have owned, and definitely the finest one! 1990 was the final full year of production of this model with the beautiful round English headlights, shortened tail lights, and of course the final refinement of the 5.3 V12 engine. 1990 was the first year to introduce a driver's airbag and tilting steering column. The car is finished in Old English White with tan Connolly hides. The interior is totally original and in spectacular condition. The seats show beautiful natural patina for a car of its age, but still look fresh and new. The wilton carpeting and beautiful German tan canvas top show perfectly. The car has fewer than 84,000 miles and two previous owners. This is an unaltered car. It enjoys its original interior, carpeting, glass, radio, etc. The door panels have never been cut so as to instal larger speakers. I have seen them with boom boxes on the rear sill! The body has never completely been re-sprayed. The car enjoys its original paint in areas which include the hood, door jams, engine compartment, and trunk areas. Again this is just a great looking car with the proper amount of wear and use. Of course, the car has never had an accident, nor has it ever been rusted.

Thankfully, the car enjoys its original lattice style 15 inch wheels with matching brand-new tires, including the spare. The car has never been bastardized by the installation of body side moldings, CB or cell antennas, and most importantly, the car was never fitted with those god awful fender flare trim moldings. The windows have never been tinted. This is just a wonderful car to watch appreciate, and enjoy as time passes.

Feel free to contact me at (914) 403-1768. The car is located in the scenic hamlet of Bedford Village, NY, just west of Stamford CT. For you New Yorkers, you might be comforted by the fact that Bedford lies only 42 miles north of Times Square. Tools, owners manual, boot, boot bag, tire cover, etc., all included.In closing,  I am a seasoned collector of only fine cars. I began my hobby in 1978 when as a 24 year old man,  I had the good fortune to study with one of the greats,  Ed Jurist, owner of the Vintage Car Store in Nyack NY.  Mr. Jurist taught me life lessons. Only start with good examples, and with marques and models which inspire emotion to its owner. ( actually we are really stewards of these properties. one day they will be in other hands)  This is why all these years later I follow his advice. Keep it original and as unrestored as possible.

If you have transportation needs,  feel free to contact my dear friend,  Dave Lambert of Transport Masters in Boca Raton FL. He will gladly give you a free estimate for professional and courteous service. 561 504 7030.  Lastly, I have used eBay for over ten years. My approval rating is 100%. I take this privilege quite seriously.  Call me first. Come and see the car or send a representative to check it out. Thank you, John Louis. (914 403 1768)

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.

Jaguar considers BMW X1 fighter

Fri, May 15 2015

It's no secret that the sub-compact crossover is the next big thing in the auto industry. From the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, and Jeep Renegade to the Mercedes-Benz GLA, Audi Q3, and BMW X1, automakers the world over are pushing hard to get a piece of this brand-new pie. Autocar is reporting that Jaguar could soon join the ranks of them. While the manufacturer is hard at work on the new F-Pace, this new CUV would slot in below and could even be priced under the new entry level XE sedan. "A family [of CUVs] is not confirmed but we are investigating it," Steven de Ploey, Jaguar's brand director, told Autocar. "If we want to grow, a compact model is the obvious opportunity. The arguments about this are twofold. It has to be a Jaguar in design and performance, and it would be a challenge to do this. The second is the business, both in terms of scale and competition." While the brand may be toying around with the idea of a compact CUV, de Ploey points out that there are a number of issues preventing a vehicle below the F-Pace. "You'd not just be competing with premium brands but high-end mainstream manufacturers, too. There are lots of other things we have to do before this, but we have opportunities and permission to play there," de Ploey said. "There is also a cost challenge. We'd need a different architecture. What we have is scalable, but that low? You'd really have to investigate taking it down. You need to tick the box with the business case." Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
