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. |

Jaguar F-Pace 300 Sport, 400 Sport create new trims below SVR
Mon, Apr 18 2022Jaguar has introduced two new F-Pace trims in the UK, one of which we expect to make it our way. Dubbed the F-Pace 300 Sport and F-Pace 400 Sport, they also welcome Amazon Alexa integration to the whole F-Pace range. Both Sport trims come standard with gloss black roof rails, privacy glass, and the Black Pack that dresses the badges, bumpers and intakes, sills and greenhouse trim in gloss black. A set of 21-inch wheels is also standard, the Style 5105 design also in gloss black. A 22-inch Style 1020 forged wheel in either gloss black or with satin black inserts or gloss silver with contrasting inserts. Inside, the Sports get Ebony Suedecloth headliners lording over Windsor leather slimline performance seats and Satin Charcoal Ash veneers, plus premium cabin lighting with 30 available colors. The F-Pace 300 Sport is powered by the automaker's Ingenium 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel mild hybrid with 296 horsepower (300 PS) and 479 pound-feet of torque. This is the one we don't expect to make land in the U.S. The F-Pace 400 Sport would be the one for us, assuming it leaps the Atlantic. The F-Pace Sport models follow the creation of the E-Pace Sport last year, and that trim on the smaller crossover didn't come to America, hence the uncertainty. Back to the matter: The F-Pace Sport 400 is powered by the Ingenium 3.0-liter straight-six gasoline mild hybrid with 395 hp (400 PS) and 406 lb-ft. Prices in the UK start at GBP62,250 ($80,900 U.S.) for the D300 AWD Auto 300 Sport, and GBP68,520 ($89,050 U.S.) for the P400 AWD Auto 400 Sport. The duo add Alexa voice control to their infotainment suites, the ability to request anything online or change the temperature in your second bedroom at home now officially an F-Pace thing. Jaguar says it will add Alexa integration to every F-Pace globally that's fitted with Pivi Pro Infotaiment via an over-the-air update. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now also standard.

Jaguar XKSS tipped to be next continuation model
Mon, Feb 9 2015After 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.

They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier.
