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

Chris Harris finds the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe rather drifty

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

Our own Matt Davis may have called the new Jaguar F-Type R Coupe "one heady rascal," but our review was disappointingly short on drifting, tire smoke and general, English shenanigans. You know, the sort of things that Chris Harris from Drive excels at.
Actually, relative to Harris' other reviews, this one is rather serious. There's a good recap of the F-Type on the road, with Harris referencing the car's "great bottom" and "amazing ass," quite frequently. Surprisingly, Harris says the more powerful F-Type R is just "incrementally" faster than the 495-horsepower F-Type V8 S Convertible. Following the on-road portion, it's off to the track. You can probably predict what goes on there. Overall, aside from some quibbles, Harris has nothing but praise for the newest cat.
We've got the entire video available below. Scroll down, have a look and let us know what you think in Comments.

Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo

Wed, 21 May 2014

Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
