1990 Jaguar XJS with 49,000 miles in good condition, white with tan interior and black top. 

The car has been in my family since 2001 when it was purchased with 10k miles. It has been well taken care of and driven summers and stored winters ever since. It is in original condition except for updating the air conditioning. 

V12 engine with automatic transmission, rides and runs great; top and interior are in great shape. Having inherited another great convertible now it is time to let this one go. I've really enjoyed owning this car.

This Jaguar is a luxury touring convertible with plenty of power, fun to drive and gets plenty of stares. Readied it for summer with an AC charge and oil change. 

Car has the manual, the top boot cover and only one set of keys.  Over other cars this age the lower mileage, regular maintenance, attention to condition make this stand out. Maintenance has included replacing all the fluids and changing the bushings in the suspension and steering to keep the ride and handling of the car tight aside from the oil changes, tire rotation and the basics.  The tires look good.  The only thing I can tell is that the rear muffler/silencers could be replaced.

About 40,000 miles this XJS has had a complete tune up. I've replaced one AC hose, the antenna motor as well as the window motors because they would stick from time to time. I've had the car while living in Chicago, Houston and now Minneapolis and managed to locate an excellent Jaguar shop in each location to ensure I had someone knowledgeable working on the car.

The car has been kept in ready-to-drive shape and while storing this over the winter I've run the engine few weeks.  I've tried to remove all the mystery on the details and happy to answer any other questions.

I added the highest resolution photos I could and hope the ones I've posted tell the story as the car does show light wear, small chips and dings normal for a car with this mileage; even if the photos can't show them they are there and I don't want to over-represent the condition - if there's any doubts ask.  There are very tiny marks on the driver's door where the metal creases where I was told the first owner's Bently opened into this car.  You should see some wear on the driver's seat too, otherwise the interior is well represented in the photos.  There is one noticeable dent on the left front fender near the very corner of the car but it doesn't seem to show in the photos.  There is a another tiny depression on the hood too only noticeable at the right angle about the size of a quarter. 

The inside most corners of the driver and passenger door have a small spot where rust shows and there is one chip on the hood that probably has some oxidation as well.  Having showed these to a few paint and body shops the recommendation was repainting would lower the value and not worth making a spot repair unless part of a larger section.  I should have probably detailed the car but at least you can see what it photographs like after a wash. 

I've priced this to move and really seeing if this listing will do it before considering another option.  You can look up the NADA Guides pricing and find out average retail is over $10k and I had a local estimate for this one at $12k but having watched listings and sales over the last few months before putting this up I've put a reserve at which I'm comfortable letting it go and obviously I'm more interested in a modest private sale amount..

Thanks for looking please ask any questions before you bid.

Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
