1986 JAGUAR XJ-SC VERY RARE V12 AUTOMATIC CABRIOLET LOW MILES NEW SHOCKS 1986 Jaguar XJS XJS-C 2-Door Convertible
Vehicle Description THE VIN # FOR THIS CAR IS SAJJNACW4CC128271 .... E BAY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE VIN AS THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD NEW IN GERMANY ... Created as successor to the legendary E-Type and the last model designed with input from the firm's founder, the legendary Sir William Lyons, the XJS is actually more than just a replacement. It is a Grand Tourer par excellence, the finest mode of transportation for two people wishing to travel fast and in style. Produced for over two decades, from 1975-1996, a few special iterations of the XJS have already attained classic car status, among them the rare XJSC, or "Cabriolet." Just 3,864 of these Landaulet-like, V12-powered Cabs were manufactured between 1983 and 1988, with a only a few hundred sold in the United States, in '86 and '87 only. The car presented here is a very special survivor, being an extremely low-mileage rust free Jaguar. As pampered as they come, it's truly a dream come true for the serious XJS-C connoisseur! Just serviced with recent waterpump and replaced (all 6) shock absorbers. Drives beauitfully and runs very well. Does show some age both inside and outside but a very nice affordable classic Jaguar that will go up in value. The dashboard wood is cracking and needs replacement or refurbishing, the seats and carpets are very good throughout but again show some age and wear. The two removable roof panels and the hard top "cap" have been recovered to a very high standard and the headliner on the two removable panels also recovered. there is no soft top with this car. The body is beautiful but does have some scratches and chips around the hood and fender edges. Tires are very good and the wheels are nearly perfect. Originally sold new in Germany and imported in to the USA in 1986. The car has a vin# that does not conform to all US vin decoders and some states may require and inspection before issuing a new title. The Carfax report is clean and the current Michigan title is a clean and fully assignable. In Michigan we do not have "smog" testing so I have no idea if the car will pass a test in your state if they have one. A very rare and beautiful car offered at a very affordable price - this is an E Bay only price please mention this ad when calling 1 810 487 0303 PLEASE CALL (810) 487-2020 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE PLEASE CALL (810) 487-2020 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE Sovereign Auto Purchasing LLC is a Michigan based auto dealer operating under Michigan License number B005324.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
2017 Jaguar XE: We'll miss our long-termer, but not its diesel engine
Wed, Aug 16 2017This may be automotive journalist blasphemy, but diesels aren't always a good thing. And I don't mean that from an emissions standpoint. Sometimes the diesel in question isn't a good engine, and/or is a bad fit for the cars to which they're fitted. Our long-term Jaguar XE diesel is a textbook case of both issues. The first issue becomes apparent from the moment the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder fires up with all the clattering, tapping and ticking that can only come from a compression-ignition engine. It's far from the shaking and knocking of full-size diesel trucks of a few decades ago, but it definitely feels a generation or two behind other diesel cars. For instance, we had a diesel Chevy Cruze in the office, which was quieter and smoother than the Jaguar despite a base price roughly $10,000 less. It becomes a bit smoother and less raucous as revs increase, but the volume remains rather high, making it sound as though the engine is struggling more than it is. Though, to Jaguar's credit, the company has managed to keep virtually all engine vibrations from entering the cabin. Now, the diesel engine's voice would be less problematic if it provided some engaging performance, but, outside of the high fuel-economy numbers, there's hardly any to be found. This may seem surprising considering the Jaguar's 318 pound-feet of torque, but that torque figure lasts only briefly from 1,750 rpm to 2,500 rpm. After that, the torque rapidly falls off, and you don't see the Jag's meager 180 horsepower peak until 4,000 rpm -- not far off of the engine's roughly 5,000-rpm redline. As a result, the XE has adequate passing power and around-town shunt, but anytime you want to play with more revs, it faceplants. But at least it does nail, and even exceed, its 40-mpg highway fuel economy rating without trying. The faults of this diesel engine are then exacerbated by the fact that it's in such a smooth and fun car as the XE. It positively glides across rough city streets and highways, keeping the chassis steady and its passengers soothed. Coupled with a quiet cabin, the XE is a peaceful place to be. At least it would be if the diesel didn't rudely interrupt every time the throttle pedal is pressed. Through some sort of black magic, the XE handles about as well as it rides. The incredibly sensitive and accurate steering is superb. It feels like adjustment knobs on a high-end stereo -- weighted perfectly and fine enough to get it right where you want it.
This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
