10k Miles Perfect, Perfect, Perfect - None Better on 2040-cars

10,750 miles – perfect perfect perfect.  Remember they are only original once and this is it! it shows and drives ust like it did 28 years ago

Sorry about the low quality pictures I used and older phone, the pictures just don’t do this car justice.

Up for sale is an all original (except tires) absolutely outstanding condition stunning 1986 10K mile Jaguar XJS in a beautiful show color combination of signal red with black leather interior. You will not find a better XJS coupe anywhere period!!! I changed the tires on this car 400 miles ago only because I was concerned about driving 80+ miles an hour on 28 year old tires. The spare is still the original

Ever wonder why some low mile jags you see for sale have new interiors and major engine work? Something is wrong - this car is perfect and all original with no need for major overhauls some sellers are claiming as a positive.

I have significant documentation on this car dating back over 10 years. 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. I will also be selling a 1990 XJS convertible with 39K miles in outstanding condition.

I purchased this car a year ago with the full intent of keeping it for a very long time and as such I have treated the car accordingly. When I purchased the car I had my jag mechanic replace many costly rubber components and seals out of concern for possible dry rot as the car has such low miles. I did this as a precaution not necessity with the expectation of many years of driving enjoyment.  I welcome pre bid inspections on this car and will provide a book of documentation on the work performed over the years.

During the last 12 months I had the following mechanical work performed by a highly qualified Jaguar mechanic.

1) New oil pan gasket

2) New brake pads

3) 4 new rear shocks

4) Rebuilt transmission mounts

5) Replace steering rack mounts

6) Replace upper and lower ball joints

7) Replace front crank seal – this was expensive

8) Replace a/c hoses and charge system

9) Flush break system

10) New lower radiator hose

11) New spark plugs

12) Change rear diff fluids

 

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 1986 about 5,000 were manufactured which is an average production year.

This car is a one of a kind. Everyone that sees it makes a comment about how new it looks. Don’t miss out on a true collector’s quality car. Remember they are only original once and this is the best you will find. You can drive this car daily or like me just spend most of my time just looking at the car with a big smile.

If you have any questions about the car let me know however I will not answer questions regarding the reserve price which I believe is very reasonable. Best of luck

Jaguar hints at what might become of XK after F-Type's arrival

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

Jaguar may move the company's XK further upmarket following the introduction of its forthcoming F-Type. The newcomer to the range easily shoulders the burden of carrying the Jaguar sportscar mantle, freeing up the XK to evolve in another direction. While speaking with Autocar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said there's an opportunity to grow the grand tourer both in size and luxury.
Whether that means the vehicle will retain its two-plus-two seating configuration or swell to offer buyers even more space remains to be seen. Either way, the future will likely see the XK soften its claws moving forward. And that's no bad thing. Jaguar has a long history of building luxurious grand tourers more content to soak up miles of highway than bounce from apex to apex.
What else is in store for the brand? Callum seems to have kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to acknowledge ongoing rumors of a Jaguar crossover beyond saying the brand "had to take notice" of the popularity of the luxury SUV market.

The first Jaguar Project 7 is the new kid in Harry's Garage

Sat, Jan 2 2016

The Jaguar Project 7 is more than just an F-Type with a dab more power and a special body, and Harry Metcalfe (who advises Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, which built the car) is here to show us why. This limited-production model is something truly special, and despite Metcalfe's role with JLR it's hard to misinterpret the enjoyment in his eyes when the supercharged V8 roars. Metcalfe's Project 7 is number one of just 250 cars built and wears a British Racing Green body with orange accents around the nose, mirrors, brake calipers, and underneath the rear spoiler – classic sports car style with a little modern flash. His example is also special because the entire build team signed the area underneath the trunk lid. While the engine comes up to temperature during his drive, Metcalfe shows that the Project 7 can be a fine grand tourer, and he eventually puts the throttle down to let his audience here the sublime engine. Metcalfe claims the limited edition Jag actually has too much horsepower but he means that in the best way possible. Driving it reminds him of being behind the wheel of his Pagani Zonda – a fine compliment for a grand tourer to be compared to an ultra-exotic supercar Find out why by taking a ride with Harry.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
