1989 Jaguar XJS V12 convertible. Blue with blue leather. 62,000 miles. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it forever, but, here it is. Originally owned by an insurance company in Albany New York, sold to an attorney in Albany, then sold to an attorney that lives near me. The prior owner let it sit for 4 years, I bought it, it wouldn't start.  I got it going, NICE, it runs smooth, but you can't drive it around because of the power steering leak, and, the brakes. It does drive creamy smooth, you need to feel that, a V12 is incredible.  Well, here's a list of good and bad.
    GOOD
   VERY early factory convertible, build date June 1988
   Brand new oil and filter, 10.5 quarts         
   New distributor
   New pick up coil in distributor
   New rotor
   Included but not installed, new front brake pads
   A Convertible!\
   Leather
   Wood
   62,000 miles
   Convertible top is perfect
   Body is shiny, no rust, hood is a bit dull
   Rear of body and trunk vern nice as far as rust goes
   It's now an ANTIQUE
   BAD

   High pressure power steering hose leaking and needs replaced
   Brake pads needed on front, ALL 4 CALIPERS MAY BE FROZEN, driving the car may free them up. It still moves forward in D with no gas pedal
   Flooorboards are RUSTED THROUGH. There is a hole by the driver's and passenger's feet. Driver's side is worse
   Wires were chewed by mice. Still to be fixed... alternator needs wire hooked up to D+ terminal, Coolant sensor needs connected. Cruise control was brittle and broke off. There are loose wire on both sides of the trunk. One side may be a home security system, the other factory towing hook up. There may be other wires to attend to, I don't know
   Top is leaking hydraulic fluid and doesn't go down, I didn't look at it yet, there is a manual bypass switch.
   Console wood is very bad, dash wood is OK
   Hood and trunk struts need replaced
   Leather is worn, but, I have seen much worse

The biggest problem is the power steering hose, it leaks right out. I am working on that now, but selling the car will eliminate that problem...for me.
There may be other problems, it is a 25 year old Jaguar, I am being brutally honest, I would prefer you looked the car over with me. Cash only, please, that's what I paid, no checks, no Money Orders, no anything, even if you become my best buddy. Cash only, PLEASE. Since this is PA, we must also go to a notary to sign the title.
$4500, or make offer. Please call 570 898 1992

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.

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.
