For your consideration, on offer today is a 1994 Jaguar XJ-S which I am selling on behalf of a friend. Finished in Sandstone over Oatmeal hide, this XJ-S is in very nice condition throughout and is one of the final years of production of this marvelous touring car. Equipped with the AJ6 4.0 litre inline six cylinder engine, the 128,000 miles behind this example are barely a scratch in the surface of this powertrain’s longevity. It runs and drives very nicely, and has been kept in enthusiast hands, my friend being the third owner of this car. It was purchased from Bob Williams Jaguar here in Cincinnati and remained local until he purchased it about four or five years ago. Never driven in winter and always garaged under his care, and with recent cosmetic interior rejuvenation, you will be hard pressed to find a nicer car for the money. Please continue to read on for more information about this car, and I would invite any interested parties to please contact me directly on (513) 519-7302 if there are any questions about anything which I have failed to address here.

EXTERIOR: The paintwork is in very nice shape, retaining a deep finish which is free of any major flaws, save for normal wear and tear, commensurate with age and use. There is the odd scratch or chip in the paint here and there, but overall the car shows very well and looks fantastic going down the road and gets many complements from Jaguar enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. The panel gaps are all straight per factory build and the doors, bonnet and bootlid open and close properly. All chrome and other exterior brightwork is present and in nice condition and the bumpers are intact and in good shape with some minor scratches at the corners but no damage beyond that. Sighting down the sides of the car, you will see straight, ding-free panels. There are three spots where I have found some bubbling beginning to appear; one area at the driver’s rear edge of the metal underneath the bonnet (pictured), one dime-sized spot at the lower left corner of the windscreen (pictured) and lastly some very small bubbles at the front corner of the roof, above the driver’s side A-pillar (pictured). Beyond the aforementioned areas, the car is clean and solid, including the usually vulnerable sills, door bottoms and wheel arches.

INTERIOR: The interior of this car is in fantastic condition with recent NOS hides on both front seats, complete replacement of all wood throughout the cabin with NOS pieces and a redone headliner. All replacement leather and wood was sourced from Jaguar spares suppliers so is 100% factory spec. The door panels are in nice condition, as well as the carpets, dash and rear hat shelf. The car shows no evidence of ever having been smoked in and has that wonderful aroma of Connolly hides. The rear seats are in excellent condition with no flaws in the leather and all switchgear is present and working properly.

ENGINE: The engine runs very nicely in the car, always starting immediately, hot or cold, and settling to a smooth idle and with great power and plenty of torque on tap. I will note that there is sometimes a puff of smoke at start-up, which dissipates soon after the engine has run for a minute or two. I inquired about this condition to local Jaguar master mechanic Dallas Scott, who runs an independent Jag service shop, and he said that this is quite common only on the 1994 model year, as Jaguar had switched suppliers of their valve stem seals for that year. He said that this in no way affects the running or reliability of the engine, and that many cars are still running around with double this mileage on their original valve stem seals with no ill effects. The proper way to cure this, of course, is to remove the head and replace the seals, but the owner of this car has chosen to let the new owner undertake this task, since he has replaced this car with a Mercedes SL and would simply prefer to sell it as-is. We have monitored for any noticeable oil consumption but have found it to be nil, again, as confirmed by Dallas, it is only a very small amount of oil which leaks down into the combustion chambers while the engine is off, so if you choose to continue to drive the car as it is, you won’t have to worry about continually topping off the oil. You are welcome to speak to him directly regarding this condition on this engine if you would prefer professional confirmation of this. He has been with Jaguar since 1985 and was trained at the factory in Coventry, so he’s a pretty good authority on these cars---and I should mention that he worked on this car for the previous owner throughout the years, going back to when it was bought new.

TRANSMISSION: The transmission shifts absolutely perfectly, grabbing all forward ratios cleanly and crisply, as well as reverse. There are no noises, vibrations or other untoward issues from the remainder of the driveline whatsoever. The fluid and filter were serviced at around the 120,000 mile mark, so there should be no need for attention until around 150K, when another service will be due.

SUSPENSION: The suspension is in good condition throughout, with no noises or other issues to note. The car tracks straight down the road with no pulling or tramlining and has that wonderfully precise but supple Jaguar magic carpet ride, which they were so famous for.

BRAKES/TIRES: The brakes are in good condition all around, with over 60% padlife remaining and no pulling or vibrations whatsoever. The hydraulic booster is in proper working condition and the fluid has been replaced at two year intervals. The tires are matching Kelly Chargers at all four corners with very good treadlife left and run down the road smoothly and silently.

ELECTRICAL: This car, being from the Ford-era, has the benefit of minimal Lucas electronics. Most everything is working properly on the car, including the automatic climate control, which gives ice cold air conditioning and hot heat. All interior and exterior lamps are working properly, the instruments report all of the car’s vital statistics accurately, there are no warning lamps on and the power seat adjustments work properly as well as the optional heating elements on both front seats. The windows go up and down switfly and the radio and automatic antenna are working properly. The door locks do work, however they need to be actuated from either the passenger’s side door tumbler or the interior switch. The trip computer works properly in all settings.

SUMMARY: All in all, this is a very nice example of one of Jaguar’s best looking and driving grand touring coupes. It can be driven daily exactly the way it sits now, or you can gradually improve upon some of the minor needs of the car. The owner’s next project was to have the car dismantled and refinished completely, however with the purchase of his SL, he has decided to focus on that one and asked if I would help him sell this car. I should mention that I saw this car when he first bought it and in no way did the interior need redoing, but he’s a bit fastidious (nutty?), particularly with cosmetics, and wanted to bring the car to as near to showroom condition as he could. And again, had it not been for the Mercedes now gracing his collection, this one would have been headed to the paint shop (probably a bit of overkill in my opinion). However I think that with XJ-S values on the rise, this car will make a sound investment for the future and, if kept in nice condition, one ought to stand to make some money on it some day, or at least not lose any. These six cylinder cars are known for their reliability and quite improved efficiency over the anemic V12s and, coupled with improved electronics, they can reliably be driven daily without worry. This car is backed by a comprehensive service history from Williams Jaguar, detailing regular maintenance carried out on time, and has been recently serviced again, so there should be no immediate needs for the new owner. I thank you for looking, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

PAYMENT/SHIPPING: A deposit in the amount of $500.00 is due no later than three days after auction end. Remiander of balance due no later than seven days after auction end. All payments to be made using either cash, certified check or federal wire transfer directly to the owner of the car. Once a sale has been solidified, I will put you in touch directly with the owner, and you can deal directly with him regarding the money/title end of the deal. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will of course assist in any way possible to help make this a pleasant and smooth transaction. The car is stored in my workshop in Cincinnati, Ohio and will remain so until I am authorized by the owner to release it. The title is clear and in the owner’s name with no liens. Thanks again for looking and good luck!

Jaguar Race Taxis will fling you around the Nurburgring

Tue, May 8 2018

The Germans have a word, " fernweh," literally meaning "far sickness," that describes a special kind of longing. It's a strange sensation in which you feel homesick for a place that you're in tune with, a place that moves you, but it's a place you've never actually been to before. Someone who loves cars might be drawn that way to the Nurburgring. But if you're traveling to Germany this summer to fulfill that sense of fernweh, how do you experience the Green Hell firsthand? Your rental-car company might frown on you taking matters into your own hands. But Jaguar may have your answer. The Jaguar Race Taxi experience will give you a hot lap around the 13 miles and 73 corners of the Nordschleife in the 575-horsepower Jaguar F-Type SVR and the equally powerful four-door Jaguar XJR575. You'll ride with professional drivers who won't coddle you — Jaguar promises cornering forces of 1.2g. "A ride in the F-TYPE SVR and XJR575 Race Taxi is a thrilling and truly unforgettable experience for any car enthusiast — or anybody who just enjoys going very fast!" says Phil Talboys, JLR's European engineering operations manager. "Our highly experienced professional drivers are veterans of the Nurburgring 24-hour race, making them uniquely qualified to show customers the true potential of these extraordinary supercharged V8 Jaguars." The laps are available until the snow flies in November. Taxi fare is ˆ199 ($236) per lap in either car. You'll be in and out in 30 minutes, counting the safety briefing, the hot lap and a review of the video you'll walk away with. Oh, and there's a weight limit of 120 kilos (264 pounds), so you stockier souls may want to start your diets now. Reservations can be made at the track or online here. The F-Type SVR can take one passenger, and the XJR575 will haul you and two of your screaming friends. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar Land Rover will electrify all new models after 2020 — and maybe some old ones

Thu, Sep 7 2017

Just as Volvo did earlier this year, Jaguar and Land Rover announced a date after which all new models introduced will be electrified. That date is 2020, a year after Volvo, and JLR's definition of electrification is very similar to Volvo's, including full electrics, plug-in hybrids, and mild hybrids. Whether the British automaker's mild hybrids will be something like the 48-volt start-stop function on the Audi A8 or a more conventional hybrid has yet to be announced. Regardless, internal combustion engines won't disappear from the Jaguar and Land Rover lineups yet, and there's still a couple of years before the start date for the companies to sneak in a fully gasoline or diesel model if they wish. And on the flip side, there's nothing stopping the companies from releasing EVs or hybrids before the start date, which is exactly what Jaguar is doing with the I-Pace. Jaguar reiterated that the electric crossover will go on sale in 2018. View 11 Photos Jaguar specifically isn't just looking at electrifying future cars, but also possibly classic cars. Jaguar Land Rover Classic revealed its fully electric E-Type concept. The vintage car department took a first-generation model and created a battery pack and electric powertrain that could fit in the car, leaving as much original as possible, including the way it drives. The battery pack and motor are mounted up front, with power sent to the rear, and they weigh roughly the same and fill roughly the same space as the old straight-six engine. This keeps weight distribution the same, makes packaging easy, and should keep the driving experience roughly the same as the old car — though the electrified version is faster. Jaguar claims a 0-62 mph time of 5.5 seconds, which is about a second quicker than the gas-powered model. It also has a range of 170 miles and a charging time of around 6 to 7 hours. Other changes include an updated interior with touchscreen infotainment, carbon fiber dash, and LCD instruments. Jaguar said this electric conversion is just a concept right now, which could be just as well. We're not sure many E-Type owners would line up to replace their old six- and 12-cylinder engines. After all, part of the appeal of those cars is the sound of the engine, and stirring a manual gearbox.

2016 Jaguar XE is ready to stalk the competition

Mon, 08 Sep 2014



The XE wears some of the best styling elements from Jaguar's current litter.
Big sedans and sports cars. Jaguar has been known for those two things since the company's name was birthed in 1945. Stylish saloons like the Mark 2 and performance machines like the E-Type make up the brand's heritage, but the compact sedan market is one where the British marque has lacked great product.
