Beautiful triple black 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible. Black Paint, Black convertible top and Black leather interior. 90k original miles with clean Carfax.

Exterior:

Beautiful black paint, straight as can be as shown in the photos. Detailed nicely, this color combination makes this an impressive vehicle. Minor flaws include a scuff on the right front bumper, scuffs on the front spoiler under the bumper, a minor scratch on the hood near the hood badge. I took photos of all the flaws. The top, which otherwise is excellent has a 1" tear above the driver's window. As shown in the photos, I glued a patch to keep it from getting worse. I have not priced out a new top, but I believe you can buy one reasonably on ebay.

I love the wheels on the 1995 models and these are chromed, making them look even better. New Pirelli tires all around as well.

Interior:

The original black leather interior has held up very well. Some minor wear on the driver seat back, other than that excellent. Carpets are also in excellent shape. Top headliner is excellent, dash excellent, all wood bezels are excellent. Door trim panels are excellent, all controls work properly including: power seat, top and windows, gauges, clock, heater and a/c controls. Included with the car are the original manuals, top boot (shown in photos), cover for upholstery for when top is down, and factory tools. Have only one key with the remote fob. I will probably at least get a second key for the new owner.

Mechanical:

Runs excellent on freeway or local. As stated before, new tires, also have new premium battery. No funny noises or rattles. Handles excellent and has plenty of power. Just passed California Smog test if that matters to anybody.

These cars are just coming into their own as far as collectors - they have become more rare - compared to an SL or other similar models.

Clean California title in hand. Make me an offer!!!!

Happy to help with shipping both domestic and international.

Feel free to call me at 904-553-8355 or email me through ebay.

$250 non refundable deposit upon successful bid and you can have time to inspect or set up transport.

Just had an inquiry about the top replacement - good original-style tops are going for the $300 range. Installation would be extra.

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
