 This Jaguar drives smoothly, smoother than MANY cars you will find.  It's fun to be seen in, classic lines, comfort and prestige, matching tires, power windows, locks, cd player works ( a Jag CD changer in the trunk that works in conjunction with the in dash Jag stereo deck), the top goes up and down with the power button and the top looks nice, cruise control works, horn too of course, a/c works but seems lacking in that last setting to really blow hard.  This final year Jaguar XJS models are very desirable, don't miss out.  Paint shows some fade and oxidation due to Arizona sun.  Maaco quoted me $350 for painting the vehicle but I have NOT done it.  The car is being sold No reserve NO RES NR and starting at only one cent, yes only a penny!  Someone will be getting a deal!  The drivers seat has a decent sized hole in the leather from entry exit rubbings, so you will want to address that with an upholsterer, I have a seat cover over the entire seat currently and here in Arizona it's hot and hardly ever rains, you can have the seat cover.  The wood still looks nice on the interior.  I like the way this cat purs at idle.  I like the way the automatic transmission shifts,  the hood latch sometimes takes a time or two to engage shut, this 18 year old No reserve car is Being sold AS-IS, 100%.  The clock on the dash isn't keeping time.  There is no warranty nor any guarantee on this vehicle.  Simply pay for an inspection PRIOR to BIDDING please.  Here comes a disclaimer: Older used cars can squeak or need a tweak or even repairs.   I am guaranteeing nothing.  If something needs fixing you are the responsible party.  Buyer pays for shipping.  No scams please! Take note: she is an 18 year old automobile and this Mondays high here is to be 111 degrees and hotter in the surrounding areas.  Do not try and drive an 18 year old car across our desert and America, getting stuck in hickville looking for a car part would not be fun.  Please be prudent and have it shipped.  Be smart.  It's just the intelligent thing to do with this car and any older car.  The unforgiving Arizona desert is no place to have a breakdown.  Many feel this is the year to buy because it's the last year of the run.  This Jaguar has the cell phone still on the center console too.  Payment must fully clear MY BANK before the vehicle goes anywhere.  Please have the transporter pick this car up within 7 days of your check clearing Many positive attributes surround this Jaguar, but if you are expecting perfection OR ARE retentive then please look elsewhere. I can't POST THIS JAGUAR ANY CHEAPER THAN A PENNY WITH NO RESERVE, be kind with the feedback.  Take a look at what other 96 jaguar XJS convertables are selling for.  That being said I do enjoy driving and hearing compliments about her.  I hope you enjoy it too.  ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE !  She sells to the high bidder.

Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.

Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start

Fri, 31 May 2013

As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.

Jay Leno's Garage drives Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS

Tue, 27 May 2014

Steve McQueen might be the coolest American male of the 20th century. With movies like Bullitt and Le Mans, McQueen established himself as the king of cool of his era, and on the list of actors you would pick for a fantasy racing team - he or Paul Newman are the natural first choices. The latest Jay Leno's Garage video highlights one of McQueen's most special cars - a 1956 Jaguar XKSS.
Just 16 XKSS models were made because a fire at the Jaguar factory halted production. It was meant to be a street version of the company's very successful D-Type racer, with a modified version of its 3.4-liter straight-six-engine and a four-speed manual gearbox. McQueen clearly had an eye for great vehicles. He drove his Jag around Los Angeles years after it was a cutting-edge piece of technology. Since then, it became part of the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. Autoblog's The List even took a ride in it when the show visited the museum.
The XKSS is one of the pinnacles of automotive design of the '50s, and its association with McQueen makes this example even more extraordinary. Leno is in love with the car from the moment he sees it, and it's hard to argue with him. Between its emphasized curves and raspy exhaust, this is one sexy Jag. Scroll down to get an eyeful and earful from one of McQueen's favorite cars.
