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 appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ

Fri, 23 May 2014

Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.

Jaguar design chief Ian Callum rules out station wagons

Wed, Apr 20 2016

If you liked the idea of a Jaguar wagon and were secretly hoping that the British automaker might bring one over, we have some unfortunate news for you. Not only will the company not bring any wagons to the North American market, but according to design chief Ian Callum, it won't be making any at all. "The [wagon] market is massively shrinking. I'm very sad about it but it's a very difficult market to justify," Callum told Automotive News Europe. German automakers Audi, BMW, and Mercedes can make wagons work because their home market is the largest for wagons in the world and any wagons they sell elsewhere are just chocolate icing on the Black Forest cake. For its part, Jaguar has produced two wagon models in the X-Type and the previous XF Sportbrake. That's a shame in Jaguar's case, because the XFR-S Sportbrake was a heck of a ride that left us wondering why anyone would want something taller. Those of like mind, we suppose, will just have to content themselves instead with German wagons like the Audi A6 Allroad, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes E-Class, and Volkswagen Golf SportWagen – and hope that Volvo doesn't get squeezed out of the wagon market as well.
