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-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
