Up on the auction block is my 1988 Jaguar XJS. I bought it with the intention to make some themed furniture out if it, but I've run out of cash to do this, let alone restore it back to roadworthy status. There is some minor rust on the doors near the door latches, as well as some on the interior of the trunk lid. The dashboard and most of the pieces behind it have been taken out, with the exception of the air conditioning unit. It's easier to list what is missing than what I have, so here is what's gone: left rear taillight, A/C system, radiator, 1 cam block, headlight bezels, intake manifold linkages, cruise control servo, large passenger front fender baffle, timing chain tensioner, and random nuts, bolts, and washers that I got rid of over a year ago when putting it back together when a project was not on my mind. The body is in good condition, with some places where the paint - or clear coat - is peeling. There are many pictures that show both the condition of the vehicle and the wide variety of parts included in this auction. To see them all, visit the car's flickr album here.

As far as the engine goes, it is mostly complete, with some parts of the same kind or area labeled or in the same bag, and some are just random. The piston assemblies have been completely taken apart, and all of the same piece are in the same bag. I do remember that one has various nuts and bolts from the top end of the engine. I broke the timing chain tensioner trying to get the chain off, only after I discovered that I could simply remove the camshaft to do so. The intake manifold linkage ends were very wallowed out, so I pitched them.

In the event that this auction does not meet its reserve price, I will break out the tools and take it down to the last bolt, but would rather sell it as a project to someone who has the time, money, and passion for this type of car. It would make a great father/son project as well, lots to do and lots to learn from this car.

Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. Deposit of US$500 due within 24 hours of auction close, with full payment due after 7 days of auction close unless other arrangements are approved by the seller.

Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.

Jaguar working on lighter F-Type with C-X75's twin-charged engine?

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Every automaker has its own agenda when it comes to concept cars. Some roll them out just to showcase where it's heading. Others create them to gauge public opinion for a potential production model. Still others only showcase a concept car to preview a model that's already well underway. Jaguar is just such a company.
In the last several years, Coventry has only produced a handful of concept cars, and each of them - the C-X16 that foreshadowed the F-Type, the C-X17 that previews the upcoming crossover and Project 7 that is now entering limited production - has led straight to the introduction of a new, commercially available model. Except for one: the C-X75.
The extreme lightweight supercar was set to succeed the XJ220 with a number of advanced technologies, but unfortunately Jaguar ended up pulling the plug to watch from the sidelines as McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche got all the attention for their new hybrid hypercars. But that doesn't mean that some of the technologies initially developed for the C-X75 won't find their way into other Jaguar products.
