1986 JAGUAR XJ-SC VERY RARE V12 AUTOMATIC CABRIOLET LOW MILES NEW SHOCKS 1986 Jaguar XJS XJS-C 2-Door Convertible
Vehicle Description THE VIN # FOR THIS CAR IS SAJJNACW4CC128271 .... E BAY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE VIN AS THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD NEW IN GERMANY ... Created as successor to the legendary E-Type and the last model designed with input from the firm's founder, the legendary Sir William Lyons, the XJS is actually more than just a replacement. It is a Grand Tourer par excellence, the finest mode of transportation for two people wishing to travel fast and in style. Produced for over two decades, from 1975-1996, a few special iterations of the XJS have already attained classic car status, among them the rare XJSC, or "Cabriolet." Just 3,864 of these Landaulet-like, V12-powered Cabs were manufactured between 1983 and 1988, with a only a few hundred sold in the United States, in '86 and '87 only. The car presented here is a very special survivor, being an extremely low-mileage rust free Jaguar. As pampered as they come, it's truly a dream come true for the serious XJS-C connoisseur! Just serviced with recent waterpump and replaced (all 6) shock absorbers. Drives beauitfully and runs very well. Does show some age both inside and outside but a very nice affordable classic Jaguar that will go up in value. The dashboard wood is cracking and needs replacement or refurbishing, the seats and carpets are very good throughout but again show some age and wear. The two removable roof panels and the hard top "cap" have been recovered to a very high standard and the headliner on the two removable panels also recovered. there is no soft top with this car. The body is beautiful but does have some scratches and chips around the hood and fender edges. Tires are very good and the wheels are nearly perfect. Originally sold new in Germany and imported in to the USA in 1986. The car has a vin# that does not conform to all US vin decoders and some states may require and inspection before issuing a new title. The Carfax report is clean and the current Michigan title is a clean and fully assignable. In Michigan we do not have "smog" testing so I have no idea if the car will pass a test in your state if they have one. A very rare and beautiful car offered at a very affordable price - this is an E Bay only price please mention this ad when calling 1 810 487 0303 PLEASE CALL (810) 487-2020 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE PLEASE CALL (810) 487-2020 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE Sovereign Auto Purchasing LLC is a Michigan based auto dealer operating under Michigan License number B005324.

2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
2019 Jaguar I-Pace Review: The EV age is approaching
Wed, Jan 9 2019It feels like we're anxiously inching up the initial mountain of a roller coaster track – click, click, click. On the other side is a massive plunge into a widespread electric future where EV's aren't just acceptable alternatives to gas-powered cars, they're superior. There's indeed a veritable train of luxury EVs coming soon, clicking up that track, but the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace is the first from a big-name luxury brand to crest it, providing that first tinge of anticipation for the ride to come. It's wildly fun, surprisingly practical and a more polished product than the perpetually rough-around-the-edges Teslas. It also reimagines what Jaguar can be while also staying true to key elements of its past and present. Driving the silky, effortlessly torquey old Jaguar XF Supercharged was intoxicating, and so is the I-Pace, albeit it in a different and indeed superior all-electric way. Its torque flattens you into the enveloping sport seats slathered in red leather, yet it's responsive without feeling overly caffeinated or neck-snapping. Like other Jaguars, it also provides a little audible pomp to the driving experience. It's no barking F-Type R, but its Active Sound Design system pipes into the cabin a deep, purr-like noise when in Dynamic mode that, if not exactly akin to an actual exhaust system, is much closer to it than the usual high-pitched electric motor whine (you can hear it in the accompanying video). Jaguar recognizes that we expect noise and g-forces to go together. And that goes for g-forces in a straight line as well as around corners. The I-Pace resolutely sticks to even marginal pavement like – well, I've already used the roller coaster metaphor above, so what the hell? – it's on rails. It has the perfect recipe for astonishing grip: all-wheel drive; sticky summer tires on 20-inch wheels pushed to the corners; a heavy battery mounted low and in the middle of the chassis; a 50:50 front-to-rear weight balance; and an available adaptive air suspension that constantly adapts to the road. Oh, and it was engineered by Jaguar, a company widely renowned for its superior-handling cars and SUVs. Steering feel could perhaps be increased a smidge, but through the wheel and the seat of your pants, you do experience what the I-Pace is doing. That adaptive suspension also sops up bumps shockingly well (another Jaguar trait) despite those pretty 20-inch wheels adding some impact harshness (ditto).
