27,000 Miles, Serviced, Drive It Anywhere on 2040-cars
Kingston, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a very nice 1988 XJ-S.
The car has somewhat over 27,000 miles.
I recently went through the car and serviced everything that needed it:
New Water Pump
New Belts
Oil Flush and Change
Brake Fluid
Transmission Fluid Flushed and changed.
Ignition upgraded from dual-coil to single coil
changed the fuel filter
and addressed some annoying issues with sending units to dashboard cluster.
The car has minimal surface rust in a few small areas, but generally rust free, absolutely no penetration or lower side rust whatsoever, due to the miles I'm sure.
Car also needs a headliner, but they're available as replicas right here on eBay, or can be done by any competent upholsterer for even less.
The wood veneer is bad in spots but not all spots, restoration kits are also available here on eBay for less than $150.00.
This is a nice car that is driven by me frequently.
It's inspected in PA till 3/14 but only has about a thousand miles since the state inspection so it'll pass the next one easy enough.
This is a super-nice car that I've worked on a bit to put into great shape. Could be driven daily relatively drama-free, runs very cool, lots of sweet V-12 goodness: 65 MPH is around 2,000 RPM and if you give it a stomp, it pins you to your seat. Not a sports-car as much as an English version of an Eldorado. I have other Jags that I'm currently driving and using and don't want to use this one through the NE winter season. If you've always loved these cars or have already had them, this is the one you want.

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
Jaguar producing short film starring Damian Lewis from Homeland [w/video]
Fri, 30 Nov 2012Jaguar is working up a short film to coincide with the US debut of the company's new F-Type. Desire will feature actor Damian Lewis in the lead role opposite Jordi Molla as the main villain in the story. The whole of the action will take place against the picturesque backdrop of the Chilean desert with filming starting early next month. According to Jaguar, the story will follow Lewis as he plays Clark, a man who delivers cars for living. Things get exciting when he crosses paths with a young woman played by Shannyn Sossamon.
With music by Lana Del Rey and some serious production value, Desire sounds keen to take its place among great automotive advertising short films like the BMW Driver series. Jaguar has released a quick teaser, which you can check out by heading over to the F-Type site. You may also take a peek at the full press release below for more information. Expect to see the film debut early next year.
