Up for sale is an outstanding condition 1990 low mileage Jaguar XJS in a beautiful color combination. I have significant documentation on this car dating back over 10 years and even had the original window sticker. While I love driving this car and looking at it I have two XJS’s and one XKE and future retirement plans will only allow for one play car and that would be the XKE.

Much work has been done on this convertible within the last 9 months to make it mechanically sound and also some suspension enhancements to improve the ride quality. I am anal about my cars and want them as near perfect as possible.  If you are considering an older Jaguar make sure you understand that what you buy may cost a significant amount to bring the car into good condition regardless of miles and stated condition. I welcome pre bid inspections on this car and will provide a book of documentation on the work performed over the years.

Due to excessive cowl shake on pre 1992 XJS convertibles a new bracing system was designed to significantly improve ride quality when the face lift XJS appeared in 1992. I purchased an OEM bracing system for this car and had it installed to give the car the same ride quality as the redesigned 1992 XJS’s. If you are looking at a pre-1992 XJS please watch out for cowl shake as the cars age. I can assure you the bracing system which cost me over $1,600 to buy/install makes a major difference in before and after ride quality.

The following mechanical work was performed by a highly qualified Jaguar mechanic.

1) New water pump and AC compressor

2) 4 new tires.

3) Installed Dayton wire wheels previously used only 2 years – outstanding condition

4) New brake accumulator

5) New hood struts

6) Removed all door dings

7) Matched and refinished cracked center console wood

8) New crankshaft seal

9) New steel valve cover gaskets

10) New radiator hoses

11) New coolant expansion tank

12) New throttle shaft bushing

13) All new drive belts

14) New breather hose

15) New intake manifold gasket

16) New plugs

17) OEM undercarriage bracing system 1992 model year and newer

18) New rear brake drums – very expensive repair due to inboard brakes

19) New rear brake pads and calipers and emergency brake pads

It’s getting harder to find great quality low mile XJS’s These cars are starting to gain in value as the price of XKE’s are out of reach for many and XJS’s are bargains when you consider how rare and exotic these cars are. For model year 1990 less than 5,000 were manufactured which is about an average production year. I will be selling this car for less than my investment over the last 12 months however I do not plan on giving the car away.  If you have any questions about the car let me know.

Jaguar recalls 7k F-Types for two seperate issues with electrical system

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Jaguar is the latest automaker to join in on the recall action from this morning, as the British automaker has announced steps it's taking to remedy two separate problems. The larger of the two recalls deals with an issue related to the seatbelt sensors specifically on the F-Type (we're inquiring with Jaguar if the recall pertains to the coupe, convertible or both models). According to the notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired," which could result in the front passenger air bag remaining activated even when a shorter individual (child or adult) occupies that seat. As a result, the British automaker is notifying the owners of such F-Types manufactured between August 31, 2012, and October 22, 2014, to bring their cars in to their local dealership to correct the configuration of the harness connector wire. The second Jaguar recall addresses a wider range of models but a much smaller number of actual vehicles. It affects the F-Type as well as the 2015 XF and XJ sedans, but only 272 of them in the United States. In those affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive belt, Power Assisted Steering pump pulley and the battery positive cable at the alternator may detach. Since those issues could increase the risk of fire or the loss of power steering, Jaguar is calling those few affected units in to dealers to have the requisite components checked, and if necessary, repaired. Details of both recalls can be found in the notices below. Report Receipt Date: NOV 07, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V714000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 7,079 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position.

2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR is a very fast, very angry kitty

Wed, Feb 17 2016

Well, Jaguar has gone and done it. The British marque hit the perfect sweet spot with its newest F-Type, the range-topping SVR, landing squarely in a price/performance segment its butt-engined rivals from Stuttgart aren't playing in. Confirming our previous reports, the new SVR will debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with the latest version of Jaguar Land Rover's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8. With some fettling by the team at JLR's Special Vehicle Operations, the engine has been boosted to 575 horsepower, 25 more than F-Type R. Torque is up from 501 pound-feet to 516 pound-feet, while the 0-60 time has dropped from 3.9 to just 3.5 seconds. And yes, 200 miles per hour is possible with the hardtop – the convertible will only do 195. That means you'll be getting more power, more torque, a quicker run to 60, and a higher top speed than an all-wheel-drive Porsche 911 GTS, but for just $5,000 more, a figure that's quickly erased by Porsche's insane options catalog. The Jag can't stand up to the 0-60 performance of 540-hp, 2.9-second 911 Turbo or the high speed of the 205-mph Turbo S, but with prices for the SVR Coupe starting at just $126,945 ($129,795 for the droptop), it's going to cost anywhere from $33,000 to $62,000 less than the Carreras. With only modest increases in output, it's pretty clear SVO made some bigger changes to score an extra 14 mph on the high end and cut 0.4 seconds off the 0-60 time. At its most basic level, the SVR is 55 pounds lighter than the F-Type R, thanks in large part to the new Inconel titanium exhaust, which cuts 35 pounds of fat (and makes for a more sinister note, we're told). Tack on the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, along with a few carbon-fiber accents, and the overall savings sits around 110 pounds. JLR is also promising faster performance from the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, which still sends its power to all four wheels. Speaking of which, the new 20-inch forged aluminum alloys are shod in wider Pirelli PZero – 265s in front and 305s in the back, compared to 255/295 on the R model. There is also the usual array of aesthetic and aerodynamic changes. You can check out the more aggressive body work in the full gallery, but know the changes contribute to improved cooling and cut the coefficients of drag and lift by up to 7.5 and 45 percent, respectively, when the adjustable rear wing is in its aerodynamic down position, and 2.5 and 15 percent with the wing up.
