Up for sale is an outstanding condition 1990 low mileage Jaguar XJS in a beautiful color combination. I have significant documentation on this car dating back over 10 years and even had the original window sticker. While I love driving this car and looking at it I have two XJS’s and one XKE and future retirement plans will only allow for one play car and that would be the XKE.

Much work has been done on this convertible within the last 9 months to make it mechanically sound and also some suspension enhancements to improve the ride quality. I am anal about my cars and want them as near perfect as possible.  If you are considering an older Jaguar make sure you understand that what you buy may cost a significant amount to bring the car into good condition regardless of miles and stated condition. I welcome pre bid inspections on this car and will provide a book of documentation on the work performed over the years.

Due to excessive cowl shake on pre 1992 XJS convertibles a new bracing system was designed to significantly improve ride quality when the face lift XJS appeared in 1992. I purchased an OEM bracing system for this car and had it installed to give the car the same ride quality as the redesigned 1992 XJS’s. If you are looking at a pre-1992 XJS please watch out for cowl shake as the cars age. I can assure you the bracing system which cost me over $1,600 to buy/install makes a major difference in before and after ride quality.

The following mechanical work was performed by a highly qualified Jaguar mechanic.

1) New water pump and AC compressor

2) 4 new tires.

3) Installed Dayton wire wheels previously used only 2 years – outstanding condition

4) New brake accumulator

5) New hood struts

6) Removed all door dings

7) Matched and refinished cracked center console wood

8) New crankshaft seal

9) New steel valve cover gaskets

10) New radiator hoses

11) New coolant expansion tank

12) New throttle shaft bushing

13) All new drive belts

14) New breather hose

15) New intake manifold gasket

16) New plugs

17) OEM undercarriage bracing system 1992 model year and newer

18) New rear brake drums – very expensive repair due to inboard brakes

19) New rear brake pads and calipers and emergency brake pads

It’s getting harder to find great quality low mile XJS’s These cars are starting to gain in value as the price of XKE’s are out of reach for many and XJS’s are bargains when you consider how rare and exotic these cars are. For model year 1990 less than 5,000 were manufactured which is about an average production year. I will be selling this car for less than my investment over the last 12 months however I do not plan on giving the car away.  If you have any questions about the car let me know.

Jaguar's famed design director Ian Callum is quitting

Tue, Jun 4 2019

Jaguar's director of design Ian Callum is officially stepping down. Callum has been with the company for over 20 years, leading numerous important and legendary designs. To name a few, Callum is responsible for recent cars like the Jaguar F-Type, XF and I-Pace. He also designed the C-X75, which was a concept hypercar that Jaguar absolutely should have made. "I have had an incredible career at Jaguar," Callum says. "One of my biggest highlights was creating XF because it represented the beginning of a new era moving Jaguar from tradition to contemporary design — it was a significant turning point in our story." Callum also says he isn't done designing cars — he's even going to continue to act as a consultant for Jaguar after his departure. It's unclear what his main project will be after he leaves in July, but he's left the door open for himself. "I came into this role with a mission to take Jaguar design back to where it deserved to be. It has taken 20 years, but I believe I have achieved what I set out to do. Given the strength of both our products and the design team I feel that now is the right time to move on, both personally and professionally, and explore other design projects," Callum says. In addition to slick sports cars and sultry sedans, Callum is also responsible for leading Jaguar into the era of SUVs and crossovers. He headed up the design for the F-Pace and E-Pace. We found both of those to be some of the better looking crossovers on sale today, so props to Callum for finding and implementing the Jaguar style in the inherently unstylish crossover format. Callum has designed plenty of great cars outside of Jaguar, too. A few examples include the Aston Martin DB7, DB9, Vanquish and Ford Escort Cosworth. Our big question is, what's next for Callum? Whatever car he decides to design is probably going to look the business, so we're excited for any projects he gets involved in after Jaguar. Taking his place at Jaguar is current creative design director Julian Thomson. He's been with the company since 2000, and has previously worked with Ford, Lotus and Volkswagen.

Jaguar XJ could move to all-electric platform late this year

Mon, Jan 22 2018

The Jaguar XJ is getting a little long in the tooth. The current generation of Jaguar's flagship sedan debuted back in 2009, making it one of the oldest vehicles still on the market. This week, Autocar reported that a new XJ could debut late this year and would move to an all-electric platform. That would place the XJ straight against cars like the Tesla Model S and upcoming Porsche Mission E, presumably sharing parts with the upcoming I-Pace electric crossover. While a couple of refreshes have kept the Jaguar competitive, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 have gone through full redesigns since the XJ debuted. (Two for the Audi). Compared to the Germans, the Jaguar looks and feels dated, especially when it comes to technology, active safety and alternative powertrains. In the U.S., the XJ is only available with either a supercharged gasoline V6 or V8. The competition from Germany, Japan and the U.S. all offer some form of electrification. Moving to an all-electric powertrain would be a huge shift for Jaguar and is sure to spark some debate among enthusiasts. The British automaker has previously stated it plans to electrify all new vehicles after 2020. Look for electrified variants of current models to be available, too. The new XJ is rumored to be co-developed with a new model called the Road Rover, a sort of high-riding sedan or wagon in the vein of the Audi allroad or Volvo V90 Cross Country. Like the XJ, the Road Rover would use a battery electric powertrain. Look for more news on both models later this year. Related Video:

Jaguar's design boss wants to build another sports car model

Thu, Dec 5 2019

The global sports car segment is facing a strong, glacial headwind, but Jaguar believes smoother waters are right around the corner. One of the company's top executives predicted the market will recover in the coming years, and he wants his team to be ahead of the curve when that happens. "Jaguar will always build sports cars. I'd love to do more than one," affirmed Julian Thomson, the man who replaced Ian Callum at the head of the brand's design department, in an interview with British magazine Auto Express. The only sports car currently in the Jaguar portfolio is the F-Type. While enthusiasts still love sports cars, the run-of-the-mill buyers that keep automakers profitable have rejected them in favor of crossovers and SUVs. And, requests for cleaner, more efficient cars make developing fun cars considerably more difficult; even Mazda is looking into taking the Miata into hybrid or electric territory. Jaguar faces the same challenges, but Thomson expects the sports car segment will rise up from its ashes when motorists realize they're trapped in a sea of crossovers. "In this day and age of electrification and autonomous technology, a part of me thinks there may be a resurgence of people enjoying transportation for transportation's sake, and driving for driving's sake," he said. "Whether that makes the market bigger I don’t know, but I think there is a threat to volume production cars, and they are going to struggle to find a position on what they do. IÂ’d hope that truly special and luxury cars, sports cars, will find a place where they have the option to be more exotic." He stopped short of confirming a second sports car is under development, so it's far too early to pinpoint the segment it would compete in. In the meantime, Jaguar just gave the F-Type a facelift (pictured), and its vehicle development team has already started working on the model's successor. The rumor mill has started spinning; we've heard reports of the nameplate pulling a Corvette by going mid-engined, adopting BMW's 4.4-liter V8, and getting a battery-electric powertrain. The latter option would slot neatly into Jaguar's electrification push, but Thomson hinted it's easier said than done. He explained making an electric sports car with a huge amount of power, like the 2,000-horsepower Lotus Evija, is not the answer.
