10,750 miles – perfect perfect perfect.  Remember they are only original once and this is it! it shows and drives ust like it did 28 years ago

Sorry about the low quality pictures I used and older phone, the pictures just don’t do this car justice.

Up for sale is an all original (except tires) absolutely outstanding condition stunning 1986 10K mile Jaguar XJS in a beautiful show color combination of signal red with black leather interior. You will not find a better XJS coupe anywhere period!!! I changed the tires on this car 400 miles ago only because I was concerned about driving 80+ miles an hour on 28 year old tires. The spare is still the original

Ever wonder why some low mile jags you see for sale have new interiors and major engine work? Something is wrong - this car is perfect and all original with no need for major overhauls some sellers are claiming as a positive.

I have significant documentation on this car dating back over 10 years. While I love driving this car and looking at it I have two XJS’s and one XKE and future retirement plans will only allow for one play car and that would be the XKE. I will also be selling a 1990 XJS convertible with 39K miles in outstanding condition.

I purchased this car a year ago with the full intent of keeping it for a very long time and as such I have treated the car accordingly. When I purchased the car I had my jag mechanic replace many costly rubber components and seals out of concern for possible dry rot as the car has such low miles. I did this as a precaution not necessity with the expectation of many years of driving enjoyment.  I welcome pre bid inspections on this car and will provide a book of documentation on the work performed over the years.

During the last 12 months I had the following mechanical work performed by a highly qualified Jaguar mechanic.

1) New oil pan gasket

2) New brake pads

3) 4 new rear shocks

4) Rebuilt transmission mounts

5) Replace steering rack mounts

6) Replace upper and lower ball joints

7) Replace front crank seal – this was expensive

8) Replace a/c hoses and charge system

9) Flush break system

10) New lower radiator hose

11) New spark plugs

12) Change rear diff fluids

 

It’s getting harder to find great quality low mile XJS’s These cars are starting to gain in value as the price of XKE’s are out of reach for many and XJS’s are bargains when you consider how rare and exotic these cars are. For model year 1986 about 5,000 were manufactured which is an average production year.

This car is a one of a kind. Everyone that sees it makes a comment about how new it looks. Don’t miss out on a true collector’s quality car. Remember they are only original once and this is the best you will find. You can drive this car daily or like me just spend most of my time just looking at the car with a big smile.

If you have any questions about the car let me know however I will not answer questions regarding the reserve price which I believe is very reasonable. Best of luck

Watch this Jaguar XJ220 perform a fiery burnout

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

We like to think that at least some supercar owners drive their exotic machinery the way they're meant to be driven. The reality is more likely that most pamper them in climate-controlled environments and rarely actually drive them. But Tax The Rich seems dedicated to balancing them all out by hooning the heck out of some of the most expensive and desirable supercars the world has ever seen - whether it's a Ferrari Enzo rallying along dirt roads or a pair of F50s playing tug of war.
The YouTube channel has even played around with a Jaguar XJ220 before, but not quite like this. In its latest clip, Tax The Rich goes a step or two beyond the usual smokey burnout, lighting up the rear wheels of a super-rare Jag, all for our viewing pleasure. And take pleasure we do in the video below, even as part of us cringes at the thought of potentially reducing one of the fastest Jaguars in history to a smoldering hulk.

David Brown Automotive launches old-is-new-again Speedback [w/video]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Back in January, we reported on a new British coachbuilder called David Brown Automotive. In February, the startup released the first details and images of its inaugural project, and now it has revealed the finished product.
It's called Speedback, and it's based on the Jaguar XKR. But while it's built on a modern chassis (relatively, anyway - the XK arrived in 2006 and is soon to be discontinued), it's been rebodied to look like a classic British GT. That means that, while it may look like a classic Aston Martin, it's got a thoroughly modern 5.0-liter supercharged V8 under the hood with over 500 horsepower on tap.
Otherwise, little in the way of details have been disclosed - including what you can bet will be an astronomic price that tends to come with these sorts of coachbuilt customs. But the important parts are what you can see, and that means the finest British craftsmanship inside and out. Whether you like the particular style or not, of course, is entirely a matter of taste.

With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas

Wed, Feb 15 2017

Contactless payments are making their way into the car. Jaguar and Shell have the first major rollout, allowing you to pay for fuel through the car's touchscreen. Of course you'll still have to get out of the car to actually pump the fuel into the car, but hey, progress, right? Apple Pay and PayPal will be available payment methods from the start, and Android Pay will be added later. For this all to work, you'll need a new Jaguar (or Land Rover) with the InControl infotainment system, a connected phone with the InControl app and Shell app, some space in your tank, and some electronic money. When you pull up to a Shell station and launch the Shell app through the touchscreen, the car will use geolocation to figure out which station you're at and then prompt you to enter the pump number you're next to (don't want to pay for someone else's fuel now do you?). Once that's done, you tell the system how much fuel you want (it's not clear if you can just fill the tank like most normal people do) and then the screen in the car shows you a receipt; one is also sent to you via email. While this might just seem like trading one screen for another and entering info through your car instead of at the pump, contactless payments also have an added level of security over pulling out a credit card. (Credit card skimmers, which steal card data when you go to swipe at a kiosk or ATM, have been popular at gas stations.) It will also be welcome in the winter months, when you can limit your exposure time. Plus you'll never again have to respond to this incomplete sentence, which greets us at Shell stations everywhere: "Is this debit card?" InControl is available on every Jaguar and Land Rover model. And if you get this Shell app working on an F-Pace with the Jaguar Activity Key, you'll have the latest in minimal-touch technology. The system will roll out to people in the UK first and should arrive in the US later this year. Related Video: Jaguar Land Rover Technology Smartphone Luxury shell paypal
