Hello, What you are looking at here today is the last of the Jaguar XJSs. It is a 1996, with the really dependable 4.0 liter 6 cyl, fuel injected engine. I believe, the best engine Jaguar ever built. This is and has been a southern car, from Georgia. It has never seen salt. The body is beautiful and dent free. I won't bore you with a blog about how these last XJSs are really starting to be sought after all over the World. I'm sure you read the car magazines like I do. But I will say, "I know these cars" and this is a good one. Firstly, the AC is ice cold. I just spent $1200 having blower fan replaced and expansion valve plus charging. The kick downs work and the face level vents operate exactly as they should. The Top works flawlessly and all windows go up and down as they should. Everything works on this car and it drives great. I can't see it needs anything.....I just have about 30 cars and am really tight for space. We have a large handicap van factory in Atlanta area and my sons pretty much run the day to day so Dad is left free to play at his 45 year British car addiction. (I'm on a 12 step program, but it is not working). I bought this car last Feb from our local Lexus dealership where they are so stupid that they told me the top didn't work. They didn't know you had to pull up the emergency brake lever first...so they wholesaled it to me..The car also had a bad exhaust leak. (The joiner box for the 2 down pipes was broken) We replaced the exhaust header and the car is pretty much perfect. Even the little plastic levers on the seat back releases are still there. Anyway, it is a no excuse car. Body is beautiful, it has been repainted once (as British paint doesn't fare too well in Atlanta heat), but nice job. Interior is really nice and soft. Tires, brakes, suspension all is fine and ready to drive car home to anywhere. I usually do an auction format but I will not waste your or my time...You might be able to find and XJS alittle cheaper, but they all have the same issues that this one has had sorted out....,..so $11,000 buys it. I have 2 other XJSs I would rather sell than this one but am buried in both of them, so.... Please look at my feedback. You will see I am a serious car guy and will tell you the truth about my cars. I appreciate your looking and will answer any questions right away.. Bob

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers
Fri, Jun 5 2015California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
The Jaguar XKSS, famed ride of King of Cool, is new again
Thu, Nov 17 2016You might remember earlier this year, when we told you Jaguar had confirmed that it would follow up the limited-run of continuation E-Types – completely new, built from scratch classics – with a new run of the impossibly cool XKSS. Those folks in Coventry weren't pulling our leg, because we're here in LA and the brand new XKSS is here, too. Actually, they're 60 years late. If you remember the story we told you when Jaguar said it'd be building these things, there were originally to be 25 cars in total. 16 were built, and the other nine were destroyed in a fire at the Browns Lane factory. Thus, nine original XKSS cars have been missing, and the nine XKSSs that Jaguar will build for a cool GBP1 million each will round out the initial production run. If you're not familiar with the XKSS, here's a little background. Jaguar won Le Mans three times in a row in a factory racer known as the D-Type. After withdrawing factory support in 1956, some privateers continued on with the car, but Jaguar didn't. That left several D-Types sitting about Browns Lane in various degrees of completion. Sir William Lyons had them converted to road spec, which involved adding such niceties as a windshield and passenger door, but otherwise they were not far removed from the Le Man-winning cars they were based on. That meant that they were, to put it mildly, a lot of car for the street. The kind of person an XKSS appealed to was stylish and adventurous, and someone who craved speed. Someone like Steve McQueen, perhaps. His old XKSS is sitting in the Petersen Museum in LA, which not-coincidentally is where Jaguar assembled us to see the wraps pulled off the new one. The "new" XKSSs are generally faithful to the original design, with the bodies hand-formed off bucks that were themselves created off an original XKSS. The body is made out of exotic magnesium, an extremely lightweight metal which is often misunderstood to be extremely flammable. It is, but much more so when it's in little pieces, like shavings; formed into a car body, it's not quite the incendiary device you might think it'd be. Even the processes to form the chassis is the same, such as the bronze welding technique used to bond its tubing. A few concessions to modern safety are fitted, however. There's a fuel cell, partly due to the additional safety it provides but also to better resist the harrowing effects of modern ethanol blend fuel.
