We purchased this 95 Jaguar in August of 2012 after researching model changes over the years, and especially after learning about the tremendous improvements in reliability the 1995-96 models have with the Ford engineered 6 cylinder engine and transmission. Our trusted garage sorted out any remaining small issues over the last year, so the Jaguar is a joy to own & drive. We spared no expense to make it "right", and here is a list of most items addressed before we put her in our garage: New front & rear brakes & rotors, including the parking brake rotor. A new Battery. New rear tires to match the almost new front tires. A complete service, to include all fluid changes - coolant as well. New electric fan switch relays, and service for the parking brake mechanism. Sorting out minor electric issues to bring the car up to modern day reliability. We just had our local shop wax & condition the inside & outside. There is some minor surface rust starting on some of the wire wheels (not noticeable unless looking for it). The body is in excellent condition, without any rust or issues, and the convertible top is "as new" & the expensive OEM cloth version. The interior is also in excellent shape, and includes the "two-plus-two" rear seat. The temperature gauge reads a bit warmer than the actual temperature (checked by our garage and found to be the gauge, not the sender), but it was too much trouble and not worth disrupting the entire dash assembly. In the condition she is in, I would rate her an 8 out of 10. The original paint is in excellent condition, the top & interior is excellent. She is not a show car, but is in beautiful condition, and is a reliable daily driver. You are encouraged to see the car, with a phone call - and I will try to answer any questions as well Our number is: 574-262-1492. We do have her for sale locally, so the auction could end early, thus the Buy It Now offer. We are putting her up for sale to allow us to pursue our dream of owning a classic wooden boat. We have a realistic expectation on the selling price and have placed a reserve low enough for anyone serious about the purchase to potentially get a great deal. These cars sell all over the place price wise. A completely sorted out example is worth a serious consideration. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar testing hardcore F-Type R-S GT?
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Some automakers make a hardcore model, then sit back and revel in its awesomeness. Jaguar does things a little differently. It takes a standard production model, gives it more power, bigger brakes and a tighter suspension and slaps the letter R on it. Then it gives it even more power, even bigger brakes and an even tighter suspension and calls it an R-S. Sometimes the engineers in Coventry don't even think that's enough, so they strip out some weight and dial things up even further and call it an R-S GT.
So far, they've only gone that far with the XK (transformed first into the XKR, then the XKR-S, and finally the XKR-S GT), but with that model on its way out, Jaguar seems to be preparing to give the newer F-Type a similar treatment. Now we can't be sure that what we're looking at is an F-Type R-S GT, especially since the 550-horsepower engine from the XKR-S and XFR-S is already powering the existing F-Type R Coupe, but it does seem to have all the makings of a hardcore performance model.
Compared to the existing F-Type, the development model pictured here has a bigger front splitter (like the one on the Project 7 concept), a big rear wing and a set of what looks like pretty big lightweight alloys. It's also, tellingly, a roadster, which (unlike the coupe) has until now topped out at 500hp with the V8 S model. So while it may be hard to say exactly just what Jaguar has in store for us here (or what they'll call it), one thing's for sure: it's gonna be fast and loud.
