Here's your chance to own a piece of US History - CIA Agent Valerie Plame and her husband Ambassador Joe Wilson's 1996 Jaguar XJS 6 cylinder convertible. Vanity Fair photographed the pair in this very car for their iconic cover story on them (it still has Joe's San Onofre Surfing Club license plate frame on it). I am the third owner and have every service record.

A few items of note:

The car has 57,000 original miles. However, the odometer stopped rolling about a year ago (Jag gremlins). Not sure what happened but it literally just stopped. Since then I have put approximately 300 miles on the car. I recently had the car serviced and they've got it working again but it is now is at 10 miles. The odometer has NOT turned over 100,000 miles and I have the service records to prove this. If you're looking for a fabulous Jag with great historic provenance, this should not matter.

Additionally, I have recently spent over $5,600 overhauling the engine (2 new cylinder coils, head gasket, alternator, hoses, transmission lines, oil pan, etc) and the car runs like a rocket - better than it ever did. I also put brand new Michelin tyres on it last year and have driven 200 miles on them (that cost $2000). So this car is actually worth far more than the listing price.

The car runs well. There are, however, a few cosmetic issues. The stitching on the driver's seat has come undone (it was that way when I bought it). I never got around to repairing it but I did get a quote from a trimmer who said it could easily be patched for @$250 and it would be virtually undetectable.

The paint is in good condition - a few minor surface scratches that can be professionally buffed out by a good detailer. The only other item of note is the rear bumper. It has a few superficial rubs that can easily be touched up.

Top has minor, minor fraying on driver's side (does not detract from the car in any way). Comes with tonneau, which is in MINT condition. I've spent a great deal of money making sure this car runs for 150k plus miles. So if you can overlook the minor issues mentioned, this is a wonderful car at a great price. As you know, the XJS is fast becoming a highly sought after collector car and this is a good investment as projections show the market for these vehicles will increase exponentially in coming years.

Please note: Immediate payment of $1000 required to secure purchase.

I will accept U.S bank check, bank wire transfer or cash only in person for final payment no exceptions. All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle.

AS IS - NO Warranty.

***I shall upload more pictures shortly.

Jaguar XKSS tipped to be next continuation model

Mon, Feb 9 2015

After the Jaguar F-Type Project Seven, Range Rover Sport SVR, and run of six continuation Lightweight E-Types, the Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations (SVO) division is plotting its next historic resurrection, and there's a chance it could be the Jaguar XKSS. That's the word from SVO head John Edwards to Dutch outlet Autovisie, but we need to emphasize the word "could," because the XKSS is one of about four finalists - a "major contender" - among a long list of 65 ideas for the Special Operations to devote itself to. Edwards said that SVO projects need to have some kind of story behind them, a qualification the XKSS doesn't lack. In the 1950s Jaguar raced the D-Type to three Le Mans wins among its list of victories, but retired as a factory team at the end of 1955. When Jaguar decided to turn 25 unused D-Type chassis' into road-going cars, the XKSS was created. The company built the 25, but a fire at the Browns Lane factory destroyed nine of them. It is those nine that will be in the continuation run, should the XKSS get the nod. Jaguar has already sold the six E-Type Lightweight models, each one for more a million pounds ($1.52M US). The XKSS could undoubtedly command even more, with its legendary roots; the 1956 model that Steve McQueen bought for $5,000 (and Jay Leno recently drove) is said to be worth thirty million. We have to think that even if the XKSS isn't chosen right now, it will certainly get the green light at some point.

Jaguar Land Rover's InMotion takes a stab at carsharing

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover's new InMotion mobility business aims to capitalize on the growing carsharing boom and develop other forms of alternative transportation. The first pilot programs kick off in the coming months in North America, Europe, and Asia. JLR owns InMotion, but the company acts independently from the automaker. "As a start-up business, InMotion combines the flexibility and pace needed to compete in the ever-changing mobility sector. It allows us to react quickly to new tech and ever-changing customer demands," Adrian Hallmark, JLR's Group Strategy Director, said in a statement. The 30-person firm intends to develop its own answers to upcoming transport problems and also invest in entrepreneurs to develop those solutions. InMotion isn't yet providing many details about what projects the firm expects to tackle, but the Website mentions carsharing and on-demand delivery services. Establishing InMotion shows that JLR doesn't want to fall behind the current trends in the auto industry. Practically every major automaker is currently pursuing future transportation ideas. For example, Ford recently took a very similar approach when it spun off Smart Mobility into a separate startup. BMW also rebranded its DriveNow carsharing service into ReachNow to also add a future ridesharing service.
