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.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S is the power and the fury

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

If there's something wrong about a sedan with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, we don't want to hear about it. Instead, we want to marvel at the car in person, which is fortuitous because Jaguar has officially unveiled the 2014 XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. That blown 5.0-liter V8 dishes up a full 502 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to shuttle the four-door to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds. And, thanks to a start stop system and a few other fuel-saving tricks, the 2014 XFR-S gets away without being hit by the gas guzzler tax.
That's all good news, but we're just as excited about the fact that engineers managed to crank up the vehicle's chassis stiffness by a ludicrous 30 percent. Stiffer dampers and springs also give the car a little more poise, and a wide-open exhaust lets the whole world know you're kicking down their door. You know, in case the electric blue paint and wild body work didn't tip your hand. Check out the full gallery above for a closer look.

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones

Thu, Oct 19 2017

While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.
