1992 Jaguar Xjs Base Convertible 2-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
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. |

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.
Jaguar tests autonomous vehicle technology with 100-car fleet
Wed, Jul 13 2016Jaguar Land Rover is exploring how to take autonomous vehicle technology off the paved path. But the company has plans for technology on tarmac, too. The company announced that the Jaguar division will have a fleet of 100 cars testing autonomous technologies on public roads. The testing process will cover a period of four years and begin with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems, along with a stereo camera system and autonomous vehicle software. These systems will work together to provide a variety of features that could make their way into future Jaguars and Land Rovers. The first feature in development is called "Roadwork Assist." The system relies on the stereo camera to create a 3D image the car's software can analyze. The software can identify road cones and other barriers associated with construction sites. The car will then alert the driver about entering the construction zone and provide some steering assistance to keep the car centered in its lane. Tony Harper, Jaguar's head of research, said that this system can reduce stress on the driver, and the technology could eventually be used to allow the car to pilot itself through construction zones. Another of Jaguar's proposed features is "Safe Pullaway," which also relies on cameras and software. The Safe Pullaway feature is designed to prevent close-proximity collisions in traffic jams and even in the garage. To do this, the car watches the area immediately ahead of it for obstacles. If the car detects something nearby while the driver adds throttle or shifts into gear, it will apply the brakes to prevent driving into the object. The final project on Jaguar's plate is its "Over the Horizon Warning" system. This will be one of the first features to rely on Jaguar's vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. The idea is that connected cars in constant communication will give drivers additional warning of upcoming hazards, such as out-of-sight animals and slowed or stopped cars. In Jaguar's example of a stopped car, the stationary vehicle would send a signal alerting approaching cars of the situation. In turn, the approaching vehicles would trigger audible and visual warnings to drivers about the hidden car. Jaguar says that the system could also be applied to emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles would broadcast a signal to alert drivers well before the lights and sirens get their attention. This would give emergency vehicles a faster, safer path through traffic.
Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace
Thu, Feb 19 2015Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.
