1990 Jaguar XJS with 49,000 miles in good condition, white with tan interior and black top. 

The car has been in my family since 2001 when it was purchased with 10k miles. It has been well taken care of and driven summers and stored winters ever since. It is in original condition except for updating the air conditioning. 

V12 engine with automatic transmission, rides and runs great; top and interior are in great shape. Having inherited another great convertible now it is time to let this one go. I've really enjoyed owning this car.

This Jaguar is a luxury touring convertible with plenty of power, fun to drive and gets plenty of stares. Readied it for summer with an AC charge and oil change. 

Car has the manual, the top boot cover and only one set of keys.  Over other cars this age the lower mileage, regular maintenance, attention to condition make this stand out. Maintenance has included replacing all the fluids and changing the bushings in the suspension and steering to keep the ride and handling of the car tight aside from the oil changes, tire rotation and the basics.  The tires look good.  The only thing I can tell is that the rear muffler/silencers could be replaced.

About 40,000 miles this XJS has had a complete tune up. I've replaced one AC hose, the antenna motor as well as the window motors because they would stick from time to time. I've had the car while living in Chicago, Houston and now Minneapolis and managed to locate an excellent Jaguar shop in each location to ensure I had someone knowledgeable working on the car.

The car has been kept in ready-to-drive shape and while storing this over the winter I've run the engine few weeks.  I've tried to remove all the mystery on the details and happy to answer any other questions.

I added the highest resolution photos I could and hope the ones I've posted tell the story as the car does show light wear, small chips and dings normal for a car with this mileage; even if the photos can't show them they are there and I don't want to over-represent the condition - if there's any doubts ask.  There are very tiny marks on the driver's door where the metal creases where I was told the first owner's Bently opened into this car.  You should see some wear on the driver's seat too, otherwise the interior is well represented in the photos.  There is one noticeable dent on the left front fender near the very corner of the car but it doesn't seem to show in the photos.  There is a another tiny depression on the hood too only noticeable at the right angle about the size of a quarter. 

The inside most corners of the driver and passenger door have a small spot where rust shows and there is one chip on the hood that probably has some oxidation as well.  Having showed these to a few paint and body shops the recommendation was repainting would lower the value and not worth making a spot repair unless part of a larger section.  I should have probably detailed the car but at least you can see what it photographs like after a wash. 

I've priced this to move and really seeing if this listing will do it before considering another option.  You can look up the NADA Guides pricing and find out average retail is over $10k and I had a local estimate for this one at $12k but having watched listings and sales over the last few months before putting this up I've put a reserve at which I'm comfortable letting it go and obviously I'm more interested in a modest private sale amount..

Thanks for looking please ask any questions before you bid.

Jaguar launches the new E-Pace into a barrel roll | Autoblog Minute

Fri, Jul 14 2017

After months of testing – some of which we caught in spy photos – and a little teasing, Jaguar has officially entered the compact crossover space with the launch of the 2018 E-Pace. And it was a fairly grand entry, too.

Jaguar XJ facelift suggests that if it ain't broke...

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Jaguar is preparing what looks to be a very modest upgrade for its long-serving XJ, now heading into its fifth year in production. The fullsize luxury sedan's changes are so limited it seems like a stretch to even refer to these changes as a proper update. New front and rear lights represent the big changes, although the XJ's front grille looks to get a tiny bit of tweaking. Beyond that, though, we can't see too much changing for Jag's flagship luxury car. That said, there could be some tweaks below the sheetmetal and within the cabin that these images don't really show. Take a look at our gallery of spy photos, at the top of the page, and let us know what you think Jag is up to with this particular XJ.

Here's what a front-row seat looked like in 2014 Mille Miglia

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the great, romantic European road races of the golden era of motorsports. The cars were fast, beautiful and loud but also extremely dangerous and regularly claimed drivers' lives. After two fatal accidents in '57, the event finally had to reform and came back in 1977 as a historic rally held over the course of several days. That didn't make things boring, though, and Xcar found that out firsthand with a front-row seat to this year's race in a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
Xcar was actually following the Jaguar team this year that included Ian Callum and Jay Leno in an XK120, which we previously got a glimpse of when it was covered on Jay Leno's Garage. Where Leno focuses on a more personal story of competing, this one takes a more macro view. You really get an idea of how crazy the Mille Miglia still is, and while the F-Type is way too new to actually compete in the rally, it can still wear an event sticker and drive with the vintage racers.
One amazing fact about today's Mille Miglia is that if you're competing in the event, there are basically no rules. The roads are technically still open to traffic, but the police shut down intersections and provide a rolling roadblock. Xcar's F-Type alternated between following on the course with the classics and snipping off chunks of the route to watch the participants arrive at each stop. Check out the video to experience fantastic historic rally.
