THIS CAR IS FAIRLY RARE
Cabriolet Model offers Ttops, Hard top or Soft top. All come with car
ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES
We purchased this car for my wife in 1997 from the local Jaguar dealer.
It had been traded in by original owner. He was an elderly gentleman who owned a radio station here in St. Louis
Car has been in storage in my garage for the last couple of years and I need the space.
My insurance company values this car at over $12,000 but my reserve is much less.
Call me if you are interested. Chris at 314/650-9839
As I said this car is fairly rare. ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES
Please note that one of the pics used shows a close up of the soft top down. I "borrowed" this pic from the web. In this photo you can see that the wheels are not WIRE WHEELS like are on mine
I did this just to give you a better idea of what car looks like with soft top installed and in the down position.
Here are some facts from researching it's VIN number:
European VIN is SAJ-JNVC W4JP142440
The first three positions denote the Manufacturer, the SAJ stands for Jaguar, United Kingdom.
Position 4 denotes the Marque, the J stands for Jaguar (If you had a Daimler car that digit would be a D).
Position 5 denotes the Model, the N stands for the XJ-S.
Position 6 denotes the Class, the V stands for USA Spec with Manual Seat Belts.
Position 7 denotes the Body Type, the C stands for Cabriolet (You officially have one of the 5013 genuine Cabriolet cars built).
Position 8 denotes Engine Type, the W stands for 5.3 liter V-12 “B” engine. (The 5.3 V-12 engines were coded with an A, B, C, D, E, or F depending on the model year or the market the car was made for).

Position 11 denotes the Manufacturing Plant, the C stands for the Browns Lane Plant in Coventry, England.

The Cabriolets were special as they all started out as a Coupe body first but then had the modifications made to them to become Cabriolets.
About every 4 or 5 cars coming down the line were designated to become Cabriolets.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR with 550 horsepower headlines 2019 F-Pace refresh
Thu, May 3 2018Jaguar has introduced the lightly refreshed F-Pace for 2019. The regular models are updated with better infotainment and interior touches, but the big deal is the SVR version with its 5.0-liter V8 engine. We already saw the F-Pace SVR at the New York Auto Show, and it will now be available as a 2019 model. The supercharged V8 engine with a variable valve active exhaust system produces a whopping 550 horsepower and a touch over 501 lb-ft, hitting 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The SVR's top speed is 176 mph, and it's priced from $79,990. The entire gasoline-powered F-Pace lineup gets exhaust particulate filters, even the SVR. Jaguar says the ultrafine particle trapping system is regenerated every time the driver lifts his foot off the throttle. Jaguar does say the setup is market-specific. There are also larger, 21.66-gallon fuel tanks for the 250- and 300-horsepower Ingenium I4 cars, the 380-hp V6 version and the SVR, to improve range. There's now adaptive cruise with steering assist, which operates between 0 and 112 mph, and emergency braking and lane-keeping assists are standard as well as a driver condition monitoring system and a rear camera. Safety tech has also been packaged into optional safety packs, called Park Pack, Drive Pack and Driver Assist Pack; the third of these combines the earlier two and adds adaptive cruise with steering assist. The 10-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard, and Jaguar now offers new, 14-way adjustable "slimline" sports seats as an option. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
