Outstanding Condition Up To Date Maintenance And Lots Of History Included on 2040-cars
Peachtree City, Georgia, United States
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. |

2018 Jaguar F-Pace S is a fun but thirsty travel companion
Fri, Dec 22 2017I love road trips. I've moved across the country twice, spending weeks living out of my car, eating granola bars and sucking down energy drinks like it was finals week all over again. I get a huge kick out of calculating fuel economy, stretching out tanks of gas or diesel until the low-fuel light begins to sear itself into my retinas. I try to take each and every one of our long-term vehicles on some such trip. Not long after our 2017 Jaguar F-Pace S arrives, my wife and I decided to see some family in Asheville, North Carolina, roughly 10 hours and 700 miles from our home in suburban Detroit. Now, I knew from the outset this was going to be a far different experience than our previous long-termer, a 2017 Jaguar XE diesel. I managed to eek out nearly 700 miles per tank, averaging 42 mpg over 2,000 miles with that car. But the 380-horsepower supercharged V6 in the F-Pace is rated at 18 city/23 highway with a combined rating of just 20 mpg. Not good, and — unlike the XE — I didn't think I could do much better without greatly altering my admittedly aggressive driving habits. Still, I wanted to take our blue bomber to the Blue Ridge Parkway, so onward I went. There were a few other things I was worried about over what was sure to be another 2,000-mile trip. The F-Pace's suspension was a bit stiff thanks to the sporty S trim. The 20-inch wheels don't help matters, though things could be worse (some people on staff wanted to get 22s). At least they look good. Still, the seats are comfortable and the radio is top-notch. LCD Soundsystem's latest album had just come out, so I put it on repeat and headed south. The first part of the trip was going to be both the most boring and the most economical. The roads in Michigan and Ohio are flat and straight. It isn't until you hit Kentucky and head into the Appalachian Mountains that things get interesting. Just set the radar cruise control and barrel down Interstate 75 with as much urgency as you dare. I forgot my Valentine One at home. The ride was firm but not as bad as I imagined it might be, at least once we got off of Michigan's pockmarked pavement. The F-Pace tracked straight and true, but I became acutely aware that the steering wheel itself was out of alignment, leaning just slightly to the left. Fuel economy was fine, but I was just meeting the EPA estimate, not beating it like I usually manage to do.
Jaguar lifts the tailgate on XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 25 Feb 2014In the market for an amped-up Jaguar? Look for the letter R, adorning such performance models as the XFR and XJR sedans, the XKR coupe and convertible and the new F-Type R. But if it's bonkers performance you're after, you'll want to add the letter S into the mix as well. Jaguar uses the letters to connote its most hard-core performance variants like the two-door XKR-S and four-door XFR-S. And now it's applied them to the XF wagon as well, skipping the R treatment and going straight for the new XFR-S Sportbrake.
Leaked just the other day and headed for the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has now revealed its new power wagon in full. The XFR-S Sportbrake packs Coventry's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine boasting 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. That's the same version that powers the XKR-S and XFR-S sedan (not to mention the F-Type R and XJR), and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic to rocket the estate to 60 in 4.6 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
That may be pretty quick, but doesn't quite stack up to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model 4Matic Estate whose 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 offers up 577 hp and 590 lb-ft for a 3.6-second 0-60 time, or to the Audi RS6 Avant whose 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 churns out 552 hp and 516 lb-ft for a 3.9-second 0-62 sprint. Though the Jaguar is only a little behind in output, it's a good second slower where it's measured. Granted that the Benz and the Audi are both all-wheel-drive where the Jaguar powers the rear only, but if four-wheel traction is how you get the power to the road, we wonder why Jaguar wouldn't fall in line. Particularly when the Jag's starting price in the UK (don't expect to see it imported here) is quoted at £82,495 - several grand more than the £76,985 RS6 but just shy of the £85,880 Mercedes gets for the E63 S-Model wagon in the UK (where the less potent 'base' version is also available as the cheapest in the bunch at £75,885).
Jaguar Land Rover exploring 3D HUD and infotainment projections
Wed, Aug 21 2019With its most recent technology research, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is exploring the use of 3D projections for a world before and/or after autonomous vehicles come to fruition. In collaboration with the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge, JLR has developed concepts for a 3D head-up display that shows information on the road ahead and a system that projects personalized 3D infotainment for vehicle passengers. As of right now, hundreds of production vehicles are equipped with two-dimensional head-up displays, some color, others black and white. Using various techniques and different technologies, manufacturers display information in a flat image in front of a driver. Some might find it distracting or unhelpful to have this in the driver's line of sight, and JLR might have found a solution. Rather than wedge the information in between the person and the view ahead, a 3D system that uses augmented reality could display the info onto the road in front of the driver. JLR thinks the system could project navigation directions, safety alerts such as lane departure, hazard detection or other bits typically found in a car's infotainment or instrument cluster. Some might find this to be even more distracting that 2D head-up displays, but to each his or her own. While the 3D head-up display is something that could be used right now, if it were released and passed legal, part two of JLR's 3D technology research is imagined for a life where truly autonomous vehicles are skating across the country. Using head- and eye-tracking technology, the system could lock into the position of numerous people in a vehicle and give each of them a personalized 3D projection "screen." This could be used to track a trip, look up points of interest, or even watch movies. JLR points out this could be used during ride-sharing without bothering others in the vehicle. The work with the Center for Advanced Photonics and Electronics at Cambridge is still in development for now, but it's only a matter of time before 3D tech makes it into cars in some degree.
