1994 Jaguar Xjs Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
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. |

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
2016 Jaguar XF First Drive [w/video]
Thu, Sep 3 2015Jaguar has never had a problem with style or driving joy. Every generation of the British brand's vehicles – with excuses made and accepted in advance for S-Type and X-Type and other outliers – has offered compelling styling and great performance. New kid XF was no exception when it was introduced in 2007. The car's sheetmetal pointed the way forward for the fully up-to-date range we see now, and its confident engines and handling chops were on pace with the best Bimmers, Benzes, and Cadillacs. The first-generation XF made some hay for Jaguar, selling around 280,000 copies through 2014. But those annualized rates still represented a blip on the luxury midsize radar when viewed against the backdrop of the German Three's numbers. Part of that sales story has been down to the E-Classes and 5 Series of the world being consistently excellent, to be sure. But a lot of the blame can be found in Jaguar's historic weak spots. Grace and pace the brand had in spades, but consumer perception of quality and reliability just weren't there, pricing was typically near the top of the class, and the residual values of the cars were low (a combination of all three factors, most likely). Of course, Jag would love to sell a few more cars. But this time, instead of simply building a great-looking, great-driving new XF (which is absolutely the case), the brand is doing some clever non-engineering-based things to put more big cats in more garages than ever before. The tradeoff of very good ride quality is worth the minute amount of roll. After flying all they way to Spain – Pamplona and the Navarra Circuit, by way of Barcelona and a Range Rover adventure you'll hear about soon – I would be remiss not to tell you how the new XF goes down the road. Some 150 kilometers (93 miles) of motorway and challenging b-roads lie between the city with that annual livestock problem and the 2.44-mile, FIA approved racecourse. A route that led me to understand that this XF, in my case the 380-horsepower XF S, has gained more than it has lost in the generational changeover. The company is fully committed to aluminum for its midsizer, with the new car now using a body structure that's 75-percent built from the stuff. I'm told that means a body in white that weighs just over 600 pounds, and an overall weight savings of 11 percent. Body stiffness has been raised by 28 percent in the process.
2019 Jaguar XJ50 is a supercharged birthday present
Wed, Apr 25 2018Jaguar is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its elegant luxury sedan, the XJ, with a stylish and supercharged new model called the XJ50. This nod to eight generations of XJ comes in long-wheelbase format and is powered by either a 340-horsepower supercharged V6, or snarling 470-hp supercharged V8. While the V6 model is available with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the more powerful V8 is offered only in rear-wheel drive form. Revealed for the first time at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show, the XJ50 is visually separated by the standard XJ sedan by having unique front and rear bumpers, a gloss black grille, special badges on the side vents, along with 20-inch alloy wheels with a gloss black diamond turned finish. Four colors will be available: Rosello Red, Santorini Black, Fuji White, and Loire Blue. How something along the lines of British Racing Green didn't make the cut remains a marketing mystery, however. This content is hosted by a third party.

The XJ50 cabin is fitted with unique touches like an XJ50 logo on the front center armrest, illuminated XJ50-branded treadplates, diamond-quilted seats with the Jaguar leaper logo on the headrests, along with metal pedals and aluminum shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. "This is a car worth celebrating and the XJ50 pays homage to a giant within the Jaguar brand that we believe is one of the world's most stylish sporting saloons," said Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design. While only the most jaded automotive Grinch wouldn't enjoy a birthday celebration -- really, who doesn't like cake with their illuminated treadplates(?) -- there's a sense the XJ50 marks the end of the road for the brand's long-serving luxury sedan. Rumors persist that the XJ will soon migrate to an all-electric platform, to compete directly against cars like the Tesla Model S and upcoming Porsche Mission E. Jaguar did not release an exact price of the 2019 XJ50, though a long-wheelbase XJ with the 340-hp V6 and rear-wheel drive carries a starting price of approximately $84,500.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
