This is an excellent example of the Marque.  By 1986, a lot of the "twitchiness" associated with the XJS had been sorted out. The day I acquired her I immediately drove 250 miles at 75 MPH plus without a hitch. She has had better than average care from previous owners and I have taken care of the glitches she was developing do to age and use. Both her standard and european auto mechanics have given an "excellent" rating and there are no immediate needs including drive train and inboard rear brakes (a true pain in the differential). You may speak with them if you chose.


Her color is very rare in the market place and immediately sets her aside. She had a very good repaint at some point, but there are some blemishes. They added a full body stripe and body moldings which are not original, but do not detract from her appearance. The interior is original and was redyed; very well done. Carpets are worn, but in much better condition than you would except for her age. The wood trim is excellent save around the push buttons, there is some delamination there, but again, not needing immediate attention. All major systems function including the climate control and it will actually cycle thru cool to heat automatically. The only items which do not work are the passenger side mirror power button, the antenna, cruise and the fog lights. I am not repairing these as I do not use them. I had the cruise checked and the switch, vacuum solenoid and bellows are all functional. She has always started and run and I do not hesitate to take her out at will. Still has the tools and a starfish wheel spare.

She runs as a V12 should, effortlessly, quiet and when required, fast. I have easily taken her into triple digits with speed and torque to spare. Her ride is smooth, but with a firmness that is transferred through her suspension and steering, allowing you to relate to the road. Vintage XJS's are love affairs, a true passion which allows forgiveness of the oddities of English engineering. We are set apart from other classic car owners, driving a machine which truly evolved from the Gran Prix race circuit. It is a machine specifically designed to tame any road you may chose to challenge.  A car so dynamic in performance and unique in its stance that even today, she will turn heads simply sitting at the curb. I must profess, V12's are not for everybody. To have one is not ownership, it is a relationship, enter into it wisely.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Jaguar C-X75 and Aston Martin DB10 spied drifting during Spectre shoot

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Based on the cars alone, the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive in the long-lived franchise. While we're stuck waiting until November to see the automotive extravaganza on the big screen, a lucky bystander managed to catch two of the movie's four-wheeled stars filming on the streets of Rome. Italian YouTuber Marchettino, well known for his videos from Ferrari's Fiorano test track, caught the video of the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 filming in the dark of the Roman night, with the Aston sliding its way around a turn and the Jag giving chase. Not surprisingly, the DB10's Vantage-derived V8 features prominently. This is, of course, not the first time news regarding this chase scene has graced our digital pages. Spectre star Daniel Craig sustained a minor injury in the course of this filming, after the DB10 he was riding in hit a pretty significant pothole. We've also caught 007's Aston filming in the UK.
