Up on the auction block is my 1988 Jaguar XJS. I bought it with the
intention to make some themed furniture out if it, but I've run out of
cash to do this, let alone restore it back to roadworthy status. There
is some minor rust on the doors near the door latches, as well as some
on the interior of the trunk lid. The dashboard and most of the pieces
behind it have been taken out, with the exception of the air
conditioning unit. It's easier to list what is missing than what I
have, so here is what's gone: left rear taillight,
A/C system, radiator, 1 cam block, headlight bezels, intake manifold
linkages, cruise control servo, large passenger front fender baffle,
timing chain tensioner, and random nuts, bolts, and washers that I got
rid of over a year ago when putting it back together when a project was
not on my mind. The body is in good condition, with some places where the paint - or clear coat - is peeling. There are many pictures that show both the condition of the vehicle and the wide
variety of parts included in this auction. To see them all, visit the car's flickr album here.
As far as the engine goes, it is mostly complete, with some parts of the same kind or area labeled or in the same bag, and some are just random. The piston assemblies have been completely taken apart, and all of the same piece are in the same bag. I do remember that one has various nuts and bolts from the top end of the engine. I broke the timing chain tensioner trying to get the chain off, only after I discovered that I could simply remove the camshaft to do so. The intake manifold linkage ends were very wallowed out, so I pitched them. In the event that this auction does not meet its reserve price, I will break out the tools and take it down to the last bolt, but would rather sell it as a project to someone who has the time, money, and passion for this type of car. It would make a great father/son project as well, lots to do and lots to learn from this car. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. Deposit of US$500 due within 24 hours of auction close, with full payment due after 7 days of auction close unless other arrangements are approved by the seller. |

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
