1982 Jaguar Xjs Convertible V-12 This Is A Lynx Convertable #54. 61,280 Mi on 2040-cars
Camarillo, California, United States
Jaguar did not make a XJS convertible until 1988. This is a LYNX # 58. It stared life as a Black coupe. Then it was sent back to England in 1985 and converted to a convertible and stripped down and resprayed Red. All of of this history is in my records. The top has a built in roll bar, very sturdy. Goes up and down, all electric, including latching to the front wind shield. The rear side windows roll down, unlike the Coupe. all windows are electric of course. It needs a few minor things, such as, a pair of new hood pistons, that hold open the hood. Somebody stole the radio. Could be more, but can,t think of any. If I do I'll add them in later.
This has been my favorite car. I have had many cars before and during the last 23 years. Now I must part with it. Someone will get a great car. Purchased in 1990 and maintained to the max. What ever it needed, and many times before it needed it. Radiator, water pump, new air conditioner, all belts and hoses several times. New top a few years ago, $1500. I have all of the records. In 2012 I had all ignition parts replaced, there a long list. plus complete service and smog test, passed. If you get a Carfax, it will tell you there are no Accidents. This car was smoged every 2 years since 1990 and the mileage is correct. This car will not start for me. It turns over just fine, but that's it. I didn't start it for about a year due to medical problems. My loss will be your gain. I am not selling because it won't start. I have to sell it due to my advanced age. The buyer may come and tow it away or send a tow truck. My home has a long driveway that will not accommodate a truck over 32 foot long. The car can be inspected by appointment. I welcome your questions. |

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
