Sparks, Nevada, United States

Like New! This 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible was purchase for my Mother by her husband in late 1991 as a 5 year marriage gift. My Mother and her husband died in a private plane crash in 1995 which at that time my sister inherit it in 1995 with 11606 miles. My sister drove it as a daily driver until she died in 2004 which the car had 67971 miles. The car was suppose to go to me but the courts awarded the car to my X brother in law. Her husband then register the car into his name and drove it until 2006 which it then had 71393 miles. In 2006 my brother in law gained weight and was unable to drive the car on a full time basics. From 2006 until 2011 the car was drove an average 191 miles per year. In 2012 my brother in law gained more weight and became ill and was unable to drive any car. In 2012 I took my brother in law to court for title of the car. In 2012 & 2013 there was a non-opp put on the car. The car sit for 2 years before the courts awarded me title. Since 2006 until now (2014) there has only been 1686 miles put on my 1992 Jaguar XJS. When I picked up the car in late 2013, it needed a battery to start the car up. I put a battery in it and the car started right up. No smoke from exhaust. It sounded as if the car had never been stored. I drove it about 10 feet then got out to expect for any oil leaks on the ground. There were no leaks. I took it about 5 miles on a test drive, trans shifted OK, all gauges worked fine, radio worked, door locks, everything in the car worked fine and there were no noises coming from the engine. I then put it on a car trailer and headed home. Once home I cleaned the engine compartment, replace all hoses, replace all electrical wiring, change engine oil and trans fluid and had the coolant system flushed. Had AC charged (AC blows cold) and replace all ABS wiring. Had brake job done both front and rear. Tires were pretty much rotten out from sitting for two years so tires were replace. Spare tire is ORGINAL from factory and car has orginal tool kit. Car had factory Cassette Radio which I replace with New Alpine CD player. I still have the orginal radio with the radio code. As of Nov 2013 I started to complete the car as being Showroom Condition. As of Nov 2013 I have invested over $17000. Everything that I could get that was OEM I purchased. New Convertible Top, New Headliner, New Convertible Top Cover. New Wood Trim, New Interior, Carpet was in perfect shape and all it needed was a good carpet dyeing. I replaces all switches because the pictures on each switch had worn off because of 23 years of use. Center Console redone. New 48 oz carpet mats and it has a car cover with cover bag When I took the car in for paint, I have a signed statement from the owner of the Paint shop saying that there were NO RUST found any where on the car (Calif Born Car) and that there were NO DENTS on the car. I also have Two History Reports, one from Auto Check and Vin Check Pro for my XJS. The Paint job has a Life Time Warranty which is transferable. Once at the paint shop, all crome and front and rear chrome bumpers was removed and refished. Front and rear window rubber were replace. Both door window rubber replace. Convertible Top rubber inserts replace. The car is now like new. When the engine is at an idle, you can not tell if the engine is running without looking at the RPM gauge. I'm selling my XJS because also I'm a big person. At 6'2 and my weight at 275 pounds it take alot for me to get in and out of her plus being a sports coupe it's not like driving a big Caddie plus the main reason is, it just brings back to many memories. This Car sold back in 1992 for $68900. The only difference between now and back in 1992 is the car is now 22 years older and it has 73000 miles on it...... But looks as if he just came off the showroom floor. Maybe this car was the car of your dreams 22 years ago but at that time it was not in your bugget or simply put, you couldn't afford it!
On Feb-27-14 at 09:49:33 PST, seller added the following information: Hello. I having a small problem with the Auto History Report and their Auto Check Score. Auto check has me a score of 35 which is below range which there range is from 36-62. I ordered a History Report from them on 12/06/2013 which my rating was 44 which at that time the car had not been painted and nothing had been done to the interior. I contacted E Bay to have them correct this issue which they said they could not help me. To correct this problem I had to call History Report and explain the issue on why did my rating dropped from 44 to 35 in two months. They said the reason the score was 35 was because there were 5 owners since 1992. I corrected them with documentation that I'm the 4th owner and all perious owners were from same family. History Report said they will correct the problem within 10 days.....Lots of help, my auction only last for 10 days. The reason on adding this comment is because I've had a few emails wanting to know why the rating is low and at the same time I'm claiming the car is in Mint Condition. |

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs
Wed, Jun 17 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.
Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus
Tue, Oct 27 2020BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.
Pivi Pro Jaguar Land Rover Infotainment Review | A massive improvement
Fri, Aug 6 2021Infotainment systems in Jaguar Land Rover products have irked us for a long while. They’re generally a good step — or several — behind other luxury automakers' infotainment systems in terms of features and looks. But the big problem has always been their functionality. Even right out of the gate, they exhibited an undue amount of lag and general bugginess. Pivi Pro is supposed to change all of that. ItÂ’s JLRÂ’s completely new-from-the-ground-up infotainment system that is quickly spreading across the companyÂ’s range of products. It features a new screen size and layout. Plus, the software itÂ’s running is vastly different from what we saw previously. Our Byron Hurd got a first taste of it with a number of JLR products in a short period of time and found it to be a big improvement. Now, weÂ’ve had a new Land Rover Discovery in the garage for a longer period to fully suss out the system. Will it hold up? Watch the video above for a quick tour, and keep reading for some more detailed thoughts. Before diving in too deep, you should know off the top that Pivi Pro is a massive improvement over JLR infotainment systems of old. There are still some issues, but the new systemÂ’s performance is exponentially better than what itÂ’s replacing. This is partly thanks to it now running off its own backup battery. This allows the whole system to load immediately upon startup, ensuring that you arenÂ’t sitting and waiting for items to populate after you press the start button. The new 11.4-inch screen this software plays on is splendid to both look at and touch. ItÂ’s a super-high-resolution panel, and it takes to our inputs quickly and without protest. The new UI layout makes things easier and prettier, too. All of your important items are tucked into a panel on the left, making them super easy to find and select. Plus, a sticky “home” button means you can always find your way out of menus when youÂ’re done diving around. We dig the three-panel home screen and its minimalist style, but for those who might favor maximum functionality over a pretty home screen, you can replace this with rows of app icons. For those wanting to use their phones, there is indeed an in-car WiFi data plan available to buy. Plus, JLR newly allows you to connect two devices via Bluetooth instead of just one. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are nicely integrated with this new system.
