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 XE SV Project 8 slices record Nuburgring lap down to 7:18.361
Wed, Jul 24 2019No production four-door vehicle has ever come close to breaking a seven-minute lap on Germany's Nuburgring (we see you WRX STI Type RA NBR), but manufacturers are slowly inching toward the achievement a few seconds at a time. Jaguar announced that it returned to the famed racetrack with its XE SV Project 8 and clocked a 7:18.361 lap, a new sedan record that's 2.9 seconds faster than the Project 8's previous record. When Jaguar debuted the Project 8 in 2017, it had the makings of a specialty car that would slither into the shadows as quickly as it blasted onto the scene. But it's been quite the opposite. Jaguar has continued development of the vehicle and offers three different versions, including a touring variant. Production has lasted into the 2019 model year, and we recently tested one to get a handle of just how monstrous the thing truly is. Much can change and be learned in two years, though, and Jaguar wanted to follow up its first trip to the Nurburgring, where it posted a record-setting time of 7:21.23. Under the guidance of Project 8 development driver Vincent Radermecker, the Jag ran the circuit in 7:18.361 on July 8, 2019. It did so in two-seat track pack spec and on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. Jaguar made sure to clarify a detail about the run and the time. The 2017 time was done on the then-used 20.6-kilometer (12.8 miles) setup, and so was this time. But starting in 2019, the Nurburgring began officially recording times on the full 20.832-kilometer (12.94 miles) lap. Using the 20.832 lap, the Project 8 recorded a time of 7:23.164. With that run, the 592-horsepower supercharged Project 8 is the first vehicle to set an official whole lap record in the mid-range production car class. Watch the 7:18 run in 360-degree video below.  This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.
