1994 Jaguar Xjs Six Cylinder Coupe, Heated Seats, Full Service History on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
For your consideration, on offer today is a 1994 Jaguar XJ-S which I am selling on behalf of a friend. Finished in Sandstone over Oatmeal hide, this XJ-S is in very nice condition throughout and is one of the final years of production of this marvelous touring car. Equipped with the AJ6 4.0 litre inline six cylinder engine, the 128,000 miles behind this example are barely a scratch in the surface of this powertrain’s longevity. It runs and drives very nicely, and has been kept in enthusiast hands, my friend being the third owner of this car. It was purchased from Bob Williams Jaguar here in Cincinnati and remained local until he purchased it about four or five years ago. Never driven in winter and always garaged under his care, and with recent cosmetic interior rejuvenation, you will be hard pressed to find a nicer car for the money. Please continue to read on for more information about this car, and I would invite any interested parties to please contact me directly on (513) 519-7302 if there are any questions about anything which I have failed to address here. EXTERIOR: The paintwork is in very nice shape, retaining a deep finish which is free of any major flaws, save for normal wear and tear, commensurate with age and use. There is the odd scratch or chip in the paint here and there, but overall the car shows very well and looks fantastic going down the road and gets many complements from Jaguar enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. The panel gaps are all straight per factory build and the doors, bonnet and bootlid open and close properly. All chrome and other exterior brightwork is present and in nice condition and the bumpers are intact and in good shape with some minor scratches at the corners but no damage beyond that. Sighting down the sides of the car, you will see straight, ding-free panels. There are three spots where I have found some bubbling beginning to appear; one area at the driver’s rear edge of the metal underneath the bonnet (pictured), one dime-sized spot at the lower left corner of the windscreen (pictured) and lastly some very small bubbles at the front corner of the roof, above the driver’s side A-pillar (pictured). Beyond the aforementioned areas, the car is clean and solid, including the usually vulnerable sills, door bottoms and wheel arches. INTERIOR: The interior of this car is in fantastic condition with recent NOS hides on both front seats, complete replacement of all wood throughout the cabin with NOS pieces and a redone headliner. All replacement leather and wood was sourced from Jaguar spares suppliers so is 100% factory spec. The door panels are in nice condition, as well as the carpets, dash and rear hat shelf. The car shows no evidence of ever having been smoked in and has that wonderful aroma of Connolly hides. The rear seats are in excellent condition with no flaws in the leather and all switchgear is present and working properly. ENGINE: The engine runs very nicely in the car, always starting immediately, hot or cold, and settling to a smooth idle and with great power and plenty of torque on tap. I will note that there is sometimes a puff of smoke at start-up, which dissipates soon after the engine has run for a minute or two. I inquired about this condition to local Jaguar master mechanic Dallas Scott, who runs an independent Jag service shop, and he said that this is quite common only on the 1994 model year, as Jaguar had switched suppliers of their valve stem seals for that year. He said that this in no way affects the running or reliability of the engine, and that many cars are still running around with double this mileage on their original valve stem seals with no ill effects. The proper way to cure this, of course, is to remove the head and replace the seals, but the owner of this car has chosen to let the new owner undertake this task, since he has replaced this car with a Mercedes SL and would simply prefer to sell it as-is. We have monitored for any noticeable oil consumption but have found it to be nil, again, as confirmed by Dallas, it is only a very small amount of oil which leaks down into the combustion chambers while the engine is off, so if you choose to continue to drive the car as it is, you won’t have to worry about continually topping off the oil. You are welcome to speak to him directly regarding this condition on this engine if you would prefer professional confirmation of this. He has been with Jaguar since 1985 and was trained at the factory in Coventry, so he’s a pretty good authority on these cars---and I should mention that he worked on this car for the previous owner throughout the years, going back to when it was bought new. TRANSMISSION: The transmission shifts absolutely perfectly, grabbing all forward ratios cleanly and crisply, as well as reverse. There are no noises, vibrations or other untoward issues from the remainder of the driveline whatsoever. The fluid and filter were serviced at around the 120,000 mile mark, so there should be no need for attention until around 150K, when another service will be due. SUSPENSION: The suspension is in good condition throughout, with no noises or other issues to note. The car tracks straight down the road with no pulling or tramlining and has that wonderfully precise but supple Jaguar magic carpet ride, which they were so famous for. BRAKES/TIRES: The brakes are in good condition all around, with over 60% padlife remaining and no pulling or vibrations whatsoever. The hydraulic booster is in proper working condition and the fluid has been replaced at two year intervals. The tires are matching Kelly Chargers at all four corners with very good treadlife left and run down the road smoothly and silently. ELECTRICAL: This car, being from the Ford-era, has the benefit of minimal Lucas electronics. Most everything is working properly on the car, including the automatic climate control, which gives ice cold air conditioning and hot heat. All interior and exterior lamps are working properly, the instruments report all of the car’s vital statistics accurately, there are no warning lamps on and the power seat adjustments work properly as well as the optional heating elements on both front seats. The windows go up and down switfly and the radio and automatic antenna are working properly. The door locks do work, however they need to be actuated from either the passenger’s side door tumbler or the interior switch. The trip computer works properly in all settings. SUMMARY: All in all, this is a very nice example of one of Jaguar’s best looking and driving grand touring coupes. It can be driven daily exactly the way it sits now, or you can gradually improve upon some of the minor needs of the car. The owner’s next project was to have the car dismantled and refinished completely, however with the purchase of his SL, he has decided to focus on that one and asked if I would help him sell this car. I should mention that I saw this car when he first bought it and in no way did the interior need redoing, but he’s a bit fastidious (nutty?), particularly with cosmetics, and wanted to bring the car to as near to showroom condition as he could. And again, had it not been for the Mercedes now gracing his collection, this one would have been headed to the paint shop (probably a bit of overkill in my opinion). However I think that with XJ-S values on the rise, this car will make a sound investment for the future and, if kept in nice condition, one ought to stand to make some money on it some day, or at least not lose any. These six cylinder cars are known for their reliability and quite improved efficiency over the anemic V12s and, coupled with improved electronics, they can reliably be driven daily without worry. This car is backed by a comprehensive service history from Williams Jaguar, detailing regular maintenance carried out on time, and has been recently serviced again, so there should be no immediate needs for the new owner. I thank you for looking, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any further questions. PAYMENT/SHIPPING: A deposit in the amount of $500.00 is due no later than three days after auction end. Remiander of balance due no later than seven days after auction end. All payments to be made using either cash, certified check or federal wire transfer directly to the owner of the car. Once a sale has been solidified, I will put you in touch directly with the owner, and you can deal directly with him regarding the money/title end of the deal. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will of course assist in any way possible to help make this a pleasant and smooth transaction. The car is stored in my workshop in Cincinnati, Ohio and will remain so until I am authorized by the owner to release it. The title is clear and in the owner’s name with no liens. Thanks again for looking and good luck! |

Jaguar F-Type SVR set to go topless
Wed, Aug 19 2015Jaguar's sultry F-Type convertible will soon be getting sharper claws. We've captured the high-powered SVR variant during track testing, and these spy shots show huge air intakes and a prominent splitter up front. They're balanced at the rear with a massive spoiler and a central diffuser that breaks up the angled, jutting exhaust pipes. The cloth top is also evident, and it's presence has been expected. Previously, we spied the hardtop variant. This prototype looks ready for production, with the bodywork screwed down and the head- and taillights peering out. Even the black wheels with thin spokes wouldn't look out of place on the street. We also see the cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brakes. These massive stoppers will be required to slow down the 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which could make 600 horsepower. That blows by the 550-hp F-Type R and the limited production F-Type Project 7 (575 hp). The Project 7 can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, and we'd expect the SVR model to eclipse that figure. The F-Type SVR and its convertible sibling are part of Jaguar's strategy to remain to true to its sporting heritage – the company counts seven Le Mans victories – while adding vehicles like the F-Pace crossover and XE sedan to adapt to modern consumer preferences.

Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy: New EV, new series — Jaguar's going racing
Tue, Sep 12 2017Luxury carmaker Jaguar is teasing the 2018 launch of a five-seat electric sports car based on its I-Pace concept as its first battery-electric vehicle. The Indian-owned automaker released images of the sports car as part of its announcement that it will launch the world's first international production EV race series in 2018. A performance SUV version of the I-Pace, previously reported and presumably based on a concept revealed late last year, is also planned for late 2018. Jaguar has said it plans to electrify all new models after 2020, part of a wave of similar announcements as governments in England, China and elsewhere have announced plans to eventually ban the sale of gasoline or diesel cars. In its announcement, Jaguar said only that the race series would "support the launch" of the I-Pace five-seater. View 7 Photos At the Los Angeles auto show last year, Jaguar said its concept I-Pace crossover SUV would have a 220-mile range from its 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, designed and engineered entirely in-house. The Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy series is a support series for the FIA Formula E championship and will exclusively feature up to 20 all-electric Jaguar I-Pace racecars across 10 races in cities including Hong Kong, Paris, Sao Paolo and New York. The racecars will be built at the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations in Warwickshire, England. "With the launch of the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, we have strengthened our commitment to battery electric vehicles, international motorsport and Formula E," Gerd Mauser, chairman of Jaguar Racing, said in a statement. "As a British team, we are proud to announce today the launch of the world's first production battery electric vehicle championship." He added: "Ultimately this innovative series will enhance the technology in our future electric vehicles and benefit our customers." Jaguar says it will release technical specifications, race calendar and costs for the I-Pace eTrophy in 2018.

Jaguar teases four-door EV grand tourer; electric Range Rover orders open this year
Wed, Apr 19 2023Jaguar just revealed a few vital details about a new EV it says will be revealed by the end of 2023, and Land Rover shared a little update about its upcoming electric Range Rover, too. Starting with the Jag, JLR — the new, official name for Jaguar Land Rover — announced that its next electric vehicle will be a four-door GT car. The image above is the teaser the company provided. Power output will be greater than any previous Jaguar, with the current record holder being the XE SV Project 8 at just over 590 horsepower. Range is claimed to be about 430 miles on a full charge (Jaguar doesn't specify the test cycle type), but that number could be different (and likely lower) here in the United States once EPA testing takes place. Jaguar says the grand tourer will debut its new in-house EV platform that is officially named JEA, which is unrelated to the electric XJ that was scrapped a couple years ago. And lastly, Jaguar says the vehicle will start at GBP100,000 in Great Britain. Pricing for the United States wasnÂ’t estimated, but a direct conversion at todayÂ’s rates puts it at about $124,000. Considering the price point, power level and range, this Jaguar is shaping up to be a potential Porsche Taycan competitor. The single teaser image at the top of this post suggests the same, as the photo shows a car with a fast-sloping roofline and wide, bulging fenders. ItÂ’s an exciting teaser, as it pretty much confirms that Jaguar will be coming in hot with a spicy-looking electric four-door. The last detail about this Jag confirmed today is its production site, as Jaguar says it will build the vehicle at its Solihull plant in the West Midlands, England. As for the Range Rover news, weÂ’ve known an electric Range Rover was on its way, now we know that the vehicle will launch in 2025. JLR says it will begin accepting orders for the electric Range Rover later this year, but didnÂ’t set an official date. The electric Range Rover will be built at JLRÂ’s Halewood plant in Merseyside, England. Those are all the details we know about today, but expect more teasers and information leading up to the reveal of these new EVs later in 2023. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
