THIS CAR IS FAIRLY RARE

Cabriolet Model offers Ttops, Hard top or Soft top. All come with car

ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES

We purchased this car for my wife in 1997 from the local Jaguar dealer.

It had been traded in by original owner. He was an elderly gentleman who owned a radio station here in St. Louis

Car has been in storage in my garage for the last couple of years and I need the space.

My insurance company values this car at over $12,000 but my reserve is much less.

Call me if you are interested. Chris at 314/650-9839

As I said this car is fairly rare. ONLY 255 MADE IN THIS COLOR AND SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES

Please note that one of the pics used shows a close up of the soft top down. I "borrowed" this pic from the web. In this photo you can see that the wheels are not WIRE WHEELS like are on mine

I did this just to give you a better idea of what car looks like with soft top installed and in the down position.

Here are some facts from researching it's VIN number:

European VIN is SAJ-JNVC W4JP142440

The first three positions denote the Manufacturer, the SAJ stands for Jaguar, United Kingdom.

Position 4 denotes the Marque, the J stands for Jaguar (If you had a Daimler car that digit would be a D).

Position 5 denotes the Model, the N stands for the XJ-S.

Position 6 denotes the Class, the V stands for USA Spec with Manual Seat Belts.

Position 7 denotes the Body Type, the C stands for Cabriolet (You officially have one of the 5013 genuine Cabriolet cars built).

Position 8 denotes Engine Type, the W stands for 5.3 liter V-12 “B” engine. (The 5.3 V-12 engines were coded with an A, B, C, D, E, or F depending on the model year or the market the car was made for).

Position 9 denotes the Transmission and Steering, the 4 stands for Automatic and Left-Hand Drive.

Position 10 denotes the Year of Build, the J stands for 1988.

Position 11 denotes the Manufacturing Plant, the C stands for the Browns Lane Plant in Coventry, England.

Positions 12-17 denote the Vehicles Unique Number 142440.

The Cabriolets were special as they all started out as a Coupe body first but then had the modifications made to them to become Cabriolets.

About every 4 or 5 cars coming down the line were designated to become Cabriolets.

This car was completed, or went what they call “off-trim” on June 08, 1987. (Mine went “off trim” on Wednesday, March 19, 1986).

There were 8 Cabriolets finished on June 08, the same day as this one and this was the 6th one on that day.

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.

Jay Leno checks out a replica 1937 Jaguar SS100

Tue, Nov 3 2015

This 1937 Jaguar SS100 might be fantastic, but it's not an original. It's a replica, but one built to exacting standards and the original design. And it stopped by Jay Leno's Garage for a quick spin. The original was built by SS Cars Ltd, the precursor of the company we know today as Jaguar – and which changed its name and logo after WWII for reasons that shouldn't require explanation. There were only a few hundred of them made between 1936 and 1940, but they remain a popular choice among recreation manufacturers. Many of those replica constructors are based out of the UK, but this particular example is the work of one Jason Len, head of XKs Unlimited out of San Luis Obispo, CA. Len and company will produce a turnkey replica of the pre-war Jag convertible starting at $170,000. Which may seem like an awful lot for a replica, but that price may seem entirely reasonable when you see all the attention that goes in to building one. Watch the video above to see for yourself.

Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?

Sat, Feb 7 2015

London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.
