For sale is a 1993 Jaguar XJS luxury touring car in authentic original condition. Paul Dean of the LA Times describes it as "prowling, low-heeled and thoroughly seductive." This car spent most of its life in a Florida car buff's collection before coming to Wisconsin, where it was stored rarely driven. This is an absolutely solid car with no sign of rust and the most minimal of blemishes, which are pointed out in the photos and described here. The car starts with no issue whatsoever and drives like a Jag should. And it looks beautiful, right down to the "leaper" hood ornament.

This model is one of the re-invented Jags produced after Ford bought the Brit operation and put a full-court press on quality improvements. Most significant is the engine – a reliable, thrifty 4.0-liter, 24-valve, all-aluminum inline 6 with 4.0 liters gathering 223 horsepower. This is NOT the infamous finicky 12-cylinder engine that has given Jags a bad rap. Again, to quote Paul Dean at the LA Times, "The smaller engine makes for a more agile, better balanced car. Minus six cylinders and 200 pounds of engine metal, the  JS gets off the line a smidge faster than the previous guard and seems just as athletic in higher acceleration ranges. It most certainly is easier on premium unleaded." It does get very good mileage -- originally rated at 17 city, 24 highway.

Body: As stated earlier, no rust whatsoever. As shown in the photos, the paint quality is extremely good - not faded or dulled. There are a total of 3 minor blemishes on the exterior, all on the rear passenger corner. One is a small spot the size of a nickel at the outer corner of the trunk as shown in the photo. The other two blemishes are small "creases" in the metal only seen at an angle. Each is about 4" long, and looks like it was dinged by something small like a shopping cart. The paint is intact.

All chrome is intact and in extremely good condition. There is about a 3/4" piece of rubber guard missing from the chrome on the passenger side door.
All lights and turn signals work fine. Integrated fog lights are stock on this car.

Trunk is immaculate and has a Jaguar 6-disc CD changer.

Tires/Wheels: New Le Mans SR performance tires.

Interior:
Full Connolly leather interior with beautiful burl walnut trim. Has power seats with memories. Driver's seat shows crackling and wear, but no rips. Other seats are in extremely good condition. Back seats look as if they've never been used, and if you know about the size of a Jag's back seat, you know why. Car is equipped with automatic climate control and ice-cold air conditioning. This Jag also has a trip computer and alarm. Non-functioning cruise control. Dash and headliner in excellent condition -- no cracks, no tears. Glove box was lacking a lock mechanism; we've replaced it with a magnet. There is a driver's side air bag.

Mechanicals:
Everything operates as it should. Car has a 4-speed automatic transmission and anti-lock brakes. There are no leaks and it maintains its fluid levels.

This car sold new for $49,750.

Jaguar Land Rover cutting production in face of falling demand

Sat, Feb 8 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover will reduce or stop production on certain days at two of its British factories over the next few weeks as Britain's biggest carmaker pursues cost-cutting measures in response to falling demand. JLR posted a 2.3% drop in retail sales in the three months to the end of December and has targeted billions of pounds worth of savings to tackle falling diesel demand in Europe and a tough sales environment in China. The firm will halt production on selected days over a four-week period from late February at its Castle Bromwich factory in central England and stop production on some half or full days at its nearby Solihull facility until the end of March. "The external environment remains challenging for our industry and the company is taking decisive actions to achieve the necessary operational efficiencies to safeguard long-term success," the company said in a statement. "We have confirmed that Solihull and Castle Bromwich will make some minor changes to their production schedules to reflect fluctuating demand globally, whilst still meeting customer needs." The move is not connected to coronavirus, a spokeswoman said, which prompted Fiat Chrysler to warn on Thursday that a European plant could shut down within two to four weeks if Chinese parts suppliers cannot get back to work.

Jaguar F-Pace prototype goes to work at the Nurburgring

Wed, Apr 15 2015

Jaguar is hard at work again, testing its upcoming F-Pace crossover. And here's our latest look at the prototype testing at the Nurburgring. The tester spotted here appears the same as the one we recently saw undergoing cold-weather development, only this time it's wearing summer rubber on fullsize wheels instead of winter tires on smaller ones. It's also missing the old prototype's auxiliary lights, and a bit more camouflage covering the quarter panels. The fact that it was seen on the Nordschleife, however, bodes well for the F-Pace and speaks to its orientation: Jaguar's first crossover promises to be geared towards performance, a sort of on-road counterpart to the off-road prowess of the SUVs offered by its sister brand Land Rover. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the fall, but in the meantime you can scope out the spy shots in the slideshow above.

2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake Review | Who needs a crossover with a wagon this sexy?

Fri, Nov 3 2017

PORTO, Portugal — SUV and truck mania is real — just ask the 63 percent of American buyers who opted for the high-riding vehicles last year. But there has been a recent groundswell of alternative options in the burgeoning wagon segment. Sure, there are lower-end wagons such as the tried-and-true Subaru Outback ($25,895) and the new-kid-on-the-block Volkswagen Golf SportWagen ($21,580). But the 2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake competes more closely with the stalwart Mercedes-Benz E400 ($64,045) and the stylish Volvo V90 Cross Country ($52,300). This begs the nagging question: Could wagons become a serious thing in the States? We spent a day bombing through Portuguese backroads to find out how the Sportbrake fares among its niche competitive set. The 2018 Sportbrake is a wagonized version of the second-gen XF sedan that arrived in 2016. While the first-gen model only offered a wagon variant for the European market, the new Sportbrake is a global vehicle that brings a more streamlined, aluminum-intensive architecture to the table and finally gives American wagon lovers the Jag they've been craving. First off, the essential reason we're here: the cargo area. Activate the power tailgate (which uses a one-piece composite tailgate, just like the F-Pace), and the opening reveals a flat surface on all sides with 31.7 cubic feet of storage. Fold the rear seats down, and volume expands to a considerable 69.7 — an increase of 12.6 and 38.4 cubic feet, respectively. For comparison, the Volvo V90 Cross Country offers 19.8/53.9 cubic feet, and the Mercedes-Benz E400 Wagon has 35.0/64.0 cubic feet. Folding the Sportbrake's rear seats down produces a nice, flat expanse for cargo, with no obtrusive humps or bumps on the side. Standard rear air suspension keeps things level when loaded up. Onward to the front seats, where the cabin brings the XF's familiar design with the dashboard rimmed in a curved ribbon of wood veneer — a pleasant touch that offsets the otherwise blase textured aluminum bits on the dash and shifter surround. Of course, there's the love-it-or-leave-it cylindrical shifter that rises from the center console, a confounding bit of design that leaves most PRNDL traditionalists cold. So, too, does the plastic starter button on the dash, one of the few unsatisfying puzzle pieces in the otherwise agreeably finished interior. But fire up the engine, and it's easy to forget these quibbles.
