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 XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
