Rare 1988 Jaguar Xjs Convertible Hess And Eisenhardt Edition Clear Title on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, North Carolina, United States
|
Here's your opportunity to buy one of the most beautiful cars on the road today, in great shape and for a reasonable price. This is only the second year of production for a Jaguar convertible and is the extremely rare Hess & Eisenhardt coachbuilt model. The lines are smoother and the car is lower than the factory convertible models of 1989 and later. This XJ-S has low miles (53,750) and is in amazing cosmetic condition. Most importantly, the mechanicals are in great shape as well. She starts, idles and runs without any issues. Many new parts have been installed over the past 4 years to keep her running in top shape; battery, alternator, fuel injection hoses, spark plugs, fuel cooler, ignition module, belts, thermostats, distributor cap and rotor, starter, brake pads, tires, fuel filter, fuel pump, etc. The motor is a 5.3L V-12 that is quite reliable and the transmission is a GM TH400--strong, quiet and shifts without any problems. The car has 4 wheel disc brakes and a limited-slip differential. The wheels are very expensive Dayton wire wheels with Michelin tires mounted. The car has A/C but it is not blowing cold (it is a convertible after all). The interior has a nice Pioneer head unit and speakers, leather panels in beautiful condition, lots of chrome trim, real wood trimmings, and an adjustable wood steering wheel. The trunk is fully lined and is very big. The car has a new, fully automatic convertible top that raises and lowers without issues. It comes with a sunshield that allows you to park and leave the top down-- it covers the entire interior, keeping it safe, cool and clean. This Jaguar went through an extensive restoration several years ago where many body panels were replaced and welded in an effort to remove any rust on the body. After the body was straightened out, a coat of Cadillac Cotillion White was professionally sprayed over the disassembled car. All the door jambs and under the trunk and hood were professionally finished. It is almost impossible to tell the car was originally champagne in color. There is no overspray and the body is very straight, along with a flawless shine.
I have described this car as best as I could. You certainly will not be disappointed when you see it and will agree it is a bargain for the amount asked. Jaguars are pesky cars to own, so be sure to do your homework concerning ownership of one of these amazing cars. Please call or text anytime to ask any questions or schedule a time to see this gorgeous car. |

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
