For sale is my beautiful 1994 Jaguar XJS 2+2 convertible. I am selling this car due to my impending move to Rhode Island, where the climate isn't quite convertible friendly and I won't have a garage. While not a competitive show car, it is definitely a head-turning daily driver. The straight-6 motor does not leak oil, nor does it blow smoke -- common faults familiar to Jaguar enthusiasts. It also maintains idle at 650rpm.

The interior and convertible top were replaced by the previous owner (I bought this car in the Fall of 2011) prior to my purchase. All of the hoses in the engine bay were also replaced by the previous owner. The car has been covered and garaged since I purchased it, and has only been out in the rain on two occasions.

Goods:

-- Power windows, seats, and locks still function properly, as does the automatic antenna. Power side-view mirrors and seat heaters still work. You'll note from the pictures that the car comes with a full-size spare tire on a matching wheel. Tires aren't new, but have lots of tread left on them. The 4.0L straight-6 still has plenty of power and is a pleasure to drive on highways and curvy roads alike. Battery is < 1yr old.

Others:

-- Car could use new motor mounts (relatively cheap fix...at approximately $65). The automatic convertible top still works, but the pump motor has a leak that I've been unable to stop. A replacement motor costs about $350, and takes about 30min to swap out. The car could probably also use some new front brakes. Air conditioner could use a refill, as it doesn't cope well with especially hot days. Cruise control does not work, and I have never bothered to investigate why.

Extras:

-- Car comes with an all-weather cover if you don’t have a garage or haven’t carved out the space yet for a weekend driver in your garage. Has a custom cover for the convertible top for those days when you’re going to have to top down all day. Previous owner mistook blown fuse for a faulty radio, and purchased a second OEM Jaguar-correct radio and corresponding security pin…so in the event that the original radio ever goes bad you’ll have a second one ready to install.

Geely poaches Jaguar designer Wayne Burgess

Tue, Feb 5 2019

The fact is simple: Chinese automaker Geely just poached designer Wayne Burgess from Jaguar. Burgess will oversee a team of 100 designers and staff, in charge of projects encompassing all of Geely's brands, and report to Peter Horbury, Geely's EVP of design. Burgess, who started at Jaguar in 1997, was lately the production studio director for Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations, and the head of Jaguar's production cars. His credits include the F-Type, F-Pace, I-Pace, and current XJ, as well as being an Ian Callum stand-in at events. The implications of this personnel move carry the easy-to-ignore weight of another domino falling in what could be a monumental Chinese long game. Geely owns an eponymous car brand in China, as well the Chinese-Swedish Lynk & Co, Sweden's Volvo, England's Lotus and London Electric Vehicle Company (makers of electric black cabs), Malaysia's Proton, and U.S. flying car startup Terrafugia. Burgess won't need to leave home, because Geely's opening a design center in Coventry, England, to go along with its other centers in Barcelona, Gothenburg, Los Angeles and Shanghai. If you're keeping track, Burgess' flight maintains the quickening pace of talent headed to Chinese automakers that we give scant attention. After Geely bought Volvo in 2010, it moved longtime Volvo designer Peter Horbury, now Burgess' boss, to Shanghai. At the time, the news evoked a chortle. Compare that to last week, when GAC Motor designer David Hilton said, "There are now more auto designers in Shanghai than in any other city in the world, including Detroit and L.A." Hilton, by the way, was Bentley's head of exterior design until September last year. The same month, ex-Rolls Royce pen Giles Taylor, who brought us the Cullinan, jetted to Munich to lead FAW's Hongqi luxury brand. One month before that, ex- Land Rover designer Phil Simmons had taken over at Great Wall brand Haval. One month after that, ex- Mazda and BMW designer Kevin Rice became VP of design at Chery. Ex- Audi man Wolfgang Egger took over at BYD in 2017. Oh yeah, Hilton's comments came in a Wall Street Journal article about this very migration. Mass distribution is nearing the developed world in the Northern Hemisphere, too. Lynk & Co wants to get its papers for Europe this year. Zotye just named its first batch of U.S. dealers in advance of a planned launch here in 2020. Guangzhou Auto was at the same U.S. dealer meetings at Zotye, aiming for a U.S. rollout in early 2020.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

2016 Jaguar XE pounces on the Parisian port

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

It's been about five years since Jaguar discontinued the misguided X-Type and exited the compact luxury sedan market, but today marks the British automaker's re-entry into the segment with the public debut of the all-new XE.
Pitted against the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the new Jaguar XE is based on an all-new aluminum architecture that will underpin many new felines to follow, and packs a new family of four-cylinder engines. That is, aside from the range-topping XE S pictured above, with the super-six borrowed from the F-Type.
Conservatively styled but elegant and uniquely Jaguar, the XE isn't set to arrive Stateside until 2016. So unless you're planning a trip overseas (with a stop at a Jaguar showroom on the itinerary), our gallery of live shots from the floor of the Paris Motor Show here at the Porte de Versailles may be the best look you'll be getting at Coventry's latest for the next couple of years.
