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.

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.

Jaguar Land Rover invests $1.5B to build factory in Slovakia

Fri, Dec 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover will invest 1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion at current rates) to build a new factory in Nitra, Slovakia. Construction will commence in 2016, and the site will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles a year when the first of them roll out in late 2018. JLR expects to employ 2,800 people there. JLR won't yet say what vehicle it will build in Slovakia, other than it will be an all-new aluminum model. The 2018 timing for the plant's start of production seems to coincide with the launch of the radically different next-gen Land Rover Defender, though. Earlier reports suggested that JLR also considered locations in North America, particularly Georgia, and Europe for the new factory. However, the company signaled the Slovakia choice earlier this year when it signed a letter of intent with the government there in August. The automaker then did a final feasibility study before committing to the site. The new factory continues JLR's recent manufacturing expansion. The company opened an engine plant in the UK last year and a factory in China. There will also be one soon in Brazil, and it will reportedly bid to buy the Silverstone Circuit as a new headquarters. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS NEW FACTORY IN SLOVAKIA • New world-class premium manufacturing facility confirmed in Nitra • The next stage of the Company's plans for sustainable global growth • Today's announcement also supports long-term investment in the UK Bratislava, Slovakia – Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that it will be the first British carmaker to open a manufacturing facility in Slovakia. The announcement follows an agreement between the company and the Government of the Slovak Republic to build a new plant in the city of Nitra, western Slovakia. The new world-class GBP1 billion premium manufacturing facility will eventually employ around 2,800 people. Today's announcement follows Jaguar Land Rover's recent confirmation to double its investment in its engine plant in the UK to almost GBP1 billion – the largest injection into a new British manufacturing plant in decades creating several hundred new jobs. Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover commented, "Jaguar Land Rover is delighted today to welcome Slovakia into our family. The new factory will complement our existing facilities in the UK, China, India and Brazil and marks the next step in the company's strategy to become a truly global business.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.
