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 bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.

Is Jaguar testing an electrified XE?

Sun, Mar 22 2015

Rumors about Jaguar Land Rover moving further into electrification for its models have been circulating for the last several months. Thanks to some new spy shots, there's even more evidence that the company could have a hybrid or electric model on the way. According to our spies, this rather innocuous looking XE was spied with a group of camouflaged XF and F-Pace prototypes in Spain. Everything about the luxury sedan looks fairly stock until you see the rear end. There, just under the taillight, is a circular blue badge with an "E" in it. That emblem and the vehicle being with other test cars hints at the possibility of Jaguar doing something electrified with the vehicle. Unfortunately, there are no other clues here to determine exactly what is happening underneath the skin. Jaguar Land Rover has been insinuating its intention to build greener models for a while. The company even founded an engineering center partially for them in 2013. A fully electric powertrain is reportedly under development to slot into the F-Pace and maybe also for a Land Rover. Meanwhile, Jag has a trademark on the name EV-Type. With these new photos, the signs of JLR's coming electrification continue to mount.

Buy a Jaguar E-Type continuation, get a matching wristwatch

Tue, Feb 28 2017

From time to time, automakers release special branded watches. Jaguar and Land Rover are no different. The latest from Land Rover isn't particularly remarkable, but one new Jaguar piece is pretty special. Jaguar partnered with British watchmaker Bremont for a line of watches, the most impressive being a 43mm watch that commemorates Jaguar's continuation series of Lightweight E-Types. Like the cars, only six of the watches will be produced, and they will be offered to the owners of those $1.5 million cars. Each watch features a serial number that matches a corresponding car, and the faces have been designed to look like the instruments aboard the E-Types. The same goes for the hands, which look like the gauge needles. The winding crown also has a tire tread pattern that wraps around the sides, with Jaguar's heritage logo on the top. And these timepieces are built with aluminum left over from the continuation E-Types. On the back is the most impressive part, though. Here is where the watch's automatic winding weight is visible. It's shaped like a vintage steering wheel, and the outer rim is made from real wood. The weight keeps the watch and its exclusive Bremont movement wound. If you can't afford this ultra-limited watch, Bremont has a line of other Jaguar watches with many of the same design cues, at prices ranging from less than $5,000 to more than $11,000. The Land Rover watch is a bit disappointing, since it bears little apparent connection to the vehicles. Zenith, the Swiss company that partnered with Land Rover for the piece, claims the design is inspired by the Range Rover. And Land Rover claims a connection in that a British explorer wore the same series watch while completing an expedition with a pair of Range Rovers. There's also the fact that the watch and the SUV are both made of aluminum, but otherwise, the Zenith watch doesn't look particularly automotive. The box sounds pretty cool, though, since it's fashioned from Land Rover wood and upholstery. Related Video:
