1986 Jaguar Xjs 2-door Green Coupe No Reserve! V12 For Restoration Or Parts on 2040-cars
Southington, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1986 Jaguar XJS 2-door coupe, It has the 5.3L V-12 HE engine and GM 400 automatic transmission. This was a daily driver until following a head rebuild due to a dropped valve seat one bank of the engine quit. The ECU was sent out for a check/rebuild but did not fix the problem and I suspect the timing chain tensioner is the culprit. I intended to get into it but never did and it's been sitting on an asphalt driveway for a while. It has high miles but synthetic oil was used and changed faithfully. At the time of the headwork 1 or 2 thousand miles earlier the shop mentioned how remarkably clean the internals were. The AC was retrofitted to R134 and the compressor replaced with a rebuild that has low miles on it. The radiator had also been replaced with a new one. The tires were also recently new at the time and still have plenty of good tread on them. While it was sitting in the repair shop's lot someone helped himself to a few parts. A wiper arm, headlight reflector and center emblems of the wheels were noticed missing. Front seats are worn in the typical places. The laquer on the wood trim is cracked and/or peeling in multiple places but the underlying wood appears good. There is rust in the floor pans, trunk and trunk lid edges and on the left fender. I've done my best to accurately show the known flaws in the pictures. This vehicle is being auctioned AS IS with no guarantees expressed or implied. If you have any additional questions or would like additional pictures, or to arrange a viewing please contact me and I'll do my best to accommodate you. PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE AND PICK UP THE CAR WITHIN 14 DAYS. $499.00 deposit is required via Pay Pal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. I'll also accept cash or a bank certified check from the U.S. Please make your financial arrangements ahead of time. Please note, I need the space freed in my driveway to work on other projects that are being held up. Arrangement and cost of transporting the vehicle is the buyer's responsibility. Please contact me at the auction close to arrange a time. The winning bidder must arrange to have the vehicle picked-up at their expense within 14 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSE or forfeit the deposit. If there's an extreme condition preventing it contact me and I'll do my best to work with you.

Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt debut
Thu, 01 Aug 2013In an effort to target higher-volume vehicle segments, Jaguar is getting ready to introduce its first-ever crossover, and Autoweek reports that we could see it debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We've heard in the past that the new Jaguar crossover could carry the name XQ, but the report also mentions that the Q-type name is still in the running (now wouldn't Audi just love that?).
A little more clear than the crossover's name, AW says the cargo-friendly Jaguar should ride on the same platform as the upcoming Jaguar XS compact sedan rather than using a Land Rover platform. As for the on-sale date, it still sounds like the XS will hit the roads first in 2015 with the crossover model due out in 2016.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
