For sale is my Series 1 Jaguar XJ12 that I have owned for just over two years.  It was purchased out of California in January 2011 with very low mileage of 17,601.  It was sold to me as a one owner car (and was sold from the owner's car collection).  Always garage kept, and current mileage is only 18,723 (as of March 2013).  Engine is strong and the car drives straight.  There is no known accident history (and no signs of any accident repairs).  It is in it's original paint (British Racing Green) which is in pretty good shape (as evidenced from the pictures I am supplying).  However, upon very close inspection, some very light hairline cracks can be seen in the paint on the roof if the light is just right.  The paint also has some pebble related chips behind the rear wheels.  In the past two years, all belts and coolant hoses have been replaced, and the carbs have been rebuilt, and the battery was replaced.  The A/C compressor has also been replaced, and the A/C system works good except that it is somewhat low on R12.  The radiator has also been rebuilt, and the thermostats replaced.  Valve cover gaskets have been replaced.  The pollution control air rails have been removed.  The power steering rack was recently rebuilt due to a leak.  I have also replaced one of the two fuel pumps.  I've also had the headliner redone.  The circuit board in the electronic ignition has been replaced with the REOPUS board (and it works great).  Spark plugs have also been replaced.  The tachometer sometimes sticks, and a light tapping will free it up.  The clock works intermittantly.  Tiares are in great shape.  I believe that this is probably one of the best examples of a Series 1 XJ12 in the country.  The car is currently garaged in Richmond, TX.

Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots

Wed, 15 May 2013

With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
