1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible
29k Miles (yes, only 29,000 miles!)
5.7cid V-12 Engine, GM THM400 Automatic Transmission

Everything works, convertible top is Brand New!
Cold A/C, upgraded
Power Windows, Power Seats
New custom exhaust, purrs like a kitten!

This is the one you've been waiting for......
As near perfect as any XJS Convertible you will find!

This Jaguar was purchased by me last June with just over 29,000 miles. It now has 29,500 miles.  During the last 500 miles, I've made many enhancements for your driving pleasure.

Unlike many sellers who drone on endlessly with flowery descriptions but they don't have a clue what's under the paint......I've owned many XJS's and know exactly what it takes to go from an "average" XJS to an "Oustanding" XJS!

New in the last 500 miles:
Convertible Top, Including liner
Inside Headliner

Front Bilstein Shocks
Rear Boge Shocks
Both are high-end, high performance shock absorber manufacturers.

Rear Sport Spring Set (4)
Check out the ride-height (gap above tires). 
Most cars of this vintage will be substantally sagging over the rear wheels.  (Go ahead, check out those other XJS vehicles on Ebay!)
Why new rear springs you say? 
The rear springs on XJS cars are much smaller than the front springs..
Even though only 29k miles, the springs have been holding the car up for 22 years...they get tired!!

Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Front
Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Rear
Eliminates all body roll during turns...Take turns (or freeway ramps) at any speed, and the car stays flat!

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (Large & Small ends)
Note large-bushing air-gaps mounted sideways to reduce IRS movement- Originally installed in-line which allows IRS to roll
High-Performance Connecting Links
   Fully adjustable to allow for rear sway bar tuning

Custom Free-Flowing Exhaust System
  Stacked glass-pack mufflers reduce back pressure, engine runs cooler & delivers a pleasing note, especially with top down
Pirelli P600 Radial Tires
   Jaguar XJS's OEM used Pirelli Tires for their performance, endurance, and styling

Front Brake Calipers & Pads
   New Dual-Piston Front Calipers, New Premium Pads

New Interior Ski Slope, w/cup-holders (no ashtrays)
   Finally! Someone designed a replacement ski-slope with cup holders!
Oil Change - Oil Filter - Lube (yes, this car has grease fittings)
Marelli Distributor Rotor

All new speakers in front doors and rear cabinet area

New Halogen Fog Lamp bulbs

New Poly Steering-Rack Bushings
   Steering is tight, car tracks beautifully!

Paint appears original, body is slick and smooth.
   There was a minor paint touchup done that will be hard to discover!

Now if a similar car you see on Ebay is advertised as "absolutely perfect", or "simply stunningly", recognize salesman-speak when you hear it.
While these vintage cars can be in 'really good' condition, at 20+ yrs old, they ALL have some issues.  You will always be chasing some little thing on these cars, so if you're allergic to maintenence, this car is "not" for you.
.
Here are the "very few" deficiencies I've noted on this car...See pictures:
   Carpet in rear deck "where sun had shone through" was replaced. Slightly off color to the floor carpeting.
   Previous owner replaced original hood "Growler" medallion with a "Leaper" medallion
 (The Leaper was only used on sedans (aka Saloons)
       While this may not be a big deal, it will definately subtract points at a Concours judging event!
        (And even more painful, sometimes you'll see a Growler AND a Leaper together on the same hood...Yikes!)

   Electric door locks are tempermental.
       Trunk however can be locked separately. Recommend never locking convertible doors anyway!

Features:
This is an ultra-smooth ride. 
Starts easily, fast idles when cold, RPM's drop to 800 when warm. 
No warning lights, bells, or whistles after normal start up.

Car eagerly accelerates, responding to your desire.....shifts smooth, stops quickly.
Exceptionally quiet body noise for a convertible - No clicks, pops, groans, thumps, etc.

All interior courtesy lamps work when doors open.
All exterior lamps are fully functional.

Electric windows and electric top works perfectly.
Trip computer face is flawless
(most this age are heat-fogged). 
Rear window defogger (wires on glass) works fine.

OEM Cruise Control engages and holds perfect speed. 
OEM AM/FM/Stereo Radio and Cassette Deck are both rebuilt.
Rear deck (trunk) lid is flawless. 
(Many in this era are rusted along outer bottom edge)

New battery in trunk,  plus small trickle charger permanently mounted.
(Previous owner didn't drive it much!)
Includes original Jaguar tool kit in trunk pouch
Includes all owners' manuals
Includes brand-new, never used spare tire on mag rim
(Rim is identical to mounted tires)
Includes canvas OEM parade cover
(covers retracted convertible top)
Includes several repair manuals on CD

Did I mention this car only has 29k miles?

This car is a head turner and will be your pride and other's envy.. 
Can you tell I'm a little bit of a fanatic about how I maintain my Jaguars?

This is an exceptional, reliable, exotic, and highly sought-after automobile.
I'd REALLY like to sell it to someone that has previously owned an XJS so they can realize just how much better one can be with the right knowledge and TLC!

The NADA Guide "Average" Retail on this beauty is $15400, "High Retail" is $22,100
(Look it up....NADA.com!)
I am pleased to offer as a buy-it-now for only $13,900

Terms:
$1000 non-refundable deposit via paypal within 24 hours.
Balance due either bank-wire or cash in-person
Fly into Daytona International Airpoirt, and drive it home.

You see my feedback, you know I'm a straight shooter.

2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe [w/video]

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers

Fri, Jun 24 2016

It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
