 1994 Jaguar XJS 2+2 convertible, automatic, 110k miles. Clean OR title, current tags. Selling as I've just purchased an XJR... which is a little more practical with kids. As anyone who knows the later XJSs will know - the back seats are more of a suggestion than actual seats. They're quite good for keeping boxes of things warm and cosy though.

This car was my daily driver up until around a month ago - I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. It has no overheating issues, the transmission is smooth, and it starts first time every time. The trip computer even works.

Car needs nothing mechanically. It had a few electrical issues when I bought it, but I've fixed most of those:
  • Power convertible top works properly. Replaced all the relays, reset the rear side windows. The top goes up and down as it should.
  • Driver and passenger power seats work perfectly. Passenger seat has a rebuilt seat ECU.
  • Power windows work as they should. Replaced center console switches.
  • Headlights only worked on low beam. Replaced relays, hi/lo beam lights now work.
  • (most important of all, obviously) Stereo now works, as does the power antenna.
Cosmetically, the paint is pretty good - it looks great from ten feet away - as you'd expect from a 19 year old car, there are a few scratches here and there - there's one or two on the driver's door that have been touched up, and another on the rear quarter panel. I'm guessing it's been resprayed at some point in its life.

The A/C works just fine (fairly rare for a convertible, apparently), but the heater takes an age to get warm on a cold day. The front lower spoiler has two 1" cracks in it. The convertible top is watertight but could do with a proper clean, and the interior headliner needs replacing. I had a new tan headliner made, which will come with the car - I haven't fitted it myself because.. well.. it's December.

Other than that.. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Yes, that is snow on the ground - it was 12F when I took the photos!

Usual stuff.. I require a deposit within 24 hours of auction end and the balance within seven days. I'm happy to take PayPal for the deposit, but the balance must be paid in cash or by a verifiable bank check / other secured means. I can assist with loading/shipping and I'm happy to store for longer if prior arrangement has been made.

Do please ask any and all questions.. it's a great car and I'd love to see it go to someone who can appreciate it. Thanks for reading!

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

It'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.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
