1988 Jaguar XJS V12 with 35k original miles on it. Comes in a beautiful Navy Blue with Gray Leather interior. All service is up to date and the last service was just completed. CarFax Certified with no accidents or paintwork. There is a small dent on the passenger front fender and an even smaller one on the driver's rear fender which was so small I couldn't get a good picture. Previous owner put new brakes on the front and rear and replaced the front shocks and replaced the EGR Valve and has very new tires on it so this one is ready for Spring time for sure.

I bought the car with 31K miles and I have had a fuel hose and the right rear window motor gear replaced. Car has always been completely dependable and everything works even the seat heaters.

This version is the special Hess & Eisenhardt convertible with were built by the armored car coachworks who created Jaguar convertibles out of the XJS. The Hess & Eisenhardt convertible differed from the later Jaguar convertible XJS as its unpadded top folded down deeper into the body structure of the car resulting in a cleaner rear profile when the roof was lowered. In order to accommodate this design element, the Hess & Eisenhardt convertibles have two separate fuel tanks, positioned to allow for the roof to fully retract. The process of converting the stock Jaguar XJS coup? into the H&E Convertible included the post-production removal of the roof, cutting the body in several sections, the addition of steel reinforcements behind the driver's seat, and 20 lb (9.1 kg) weights placed just behind the headlights to eliminate harmonic resonance caused by the significant modifications to the car. H&E XJS convertibles are easily identified by the lower folding top, as well as two small badges located just behind the front wheels. The later Jaguar full convertible had a heavier padded top that did not fold into as small a bundle when in the lowered position, but retained nearly all of the original components of the coup?.

The best thing about this car is that convertible top will retract much further into the body than a standard XJS convertible and does not have the ugly hump in the rear with the top folded down. With the top up it is nice to be able to retract just the rear windows to allow for some airflow.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing

Thu, 09 May 2013

The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
