Jag XJS- The cabriolet is an unusual design- half way from a coupe to a full convertible. The car has a top roll bar. Forward there are 2 targa panels. To the rear you can use either the removable top shell or can remove it and install a rear folding convertible top . I have that unit as well (see photo).I

 

I have had car for 10 years and it was a great runner. Always maintained by Jag mechanics. Many upgrades over the years including new Hemmi shocks, front springs, top covering for hard shell and Targa panels, new radiator, Parellis, etc . The XJSC is a desirable limited edition-about only 2000 sold in USA. No time or garage to fix myself as we are downsizing .

 

The car had been running well up to Aug this year when it would not continue running due to the distributor/jack shaft gearing problem .  The local Garage (Neils Motors-Arundal) didnt want to open the engine to put in a new jack shaft- maybe beyond them.  My normal Jag mechanic retired last year and I don't know who could do it in Maine.

 

I could not get any Jag garage estimates to replace the jack shaft. I guess they just want to charge for whatever hours they spend.

Other than the above the car is in great condition. The paint and chrome are excellent. The interior is good. Some starting rust spots at end of fender wheel wells were fixed a few years back with neutralizer and paint. Passenger door was repainted to correct a surface rust spot. No oil leaks. Last year  the radiator header tank was overflowing and we then put in a new radiator. Car has surface rust starting at rear drivers panel under the fender (photo)

 

Solutions-

  •  replace jack shaft with integral worm gear and replace  distributor ( entire shaft needs replacing)  
  •  convert to electronic ignition (Jag Austrailia club has details- old mechanical distributor eliminated.
  • Drop in a Chevy V8

 

If you're handy, this is your chance to own a great car. The car is in Kennebunkport Maine and can be seen on weekend. Pls call me at 978 407 8310 if you want to come up and I will give you the local directions.

Jaguar F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride

Sat, Jun 29 2019

BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.

Jaguar C-X75 and Aston Martin DB10 spied drifting during Spectre shoot

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Based on the cars alone, the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive in the long-lived franchise. While we're stuck waiting until November to see the automotive extravaganza on the big screen, a lucky bystander managed to catch two of the movie's four-wheeled stars filming on the streets of Rome. Italian YouTuber Marchettino, well known for his videos from Ferrari's Fiorano test track, caught the video of the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 filming in the dark of the Roman night, with the Aston sliding its way around a turn and the Jag giving chase. Not surprisingly, the DB10's Vantage-derived V8 features prominently. This is, of course, not the first time news regarding this chase scene has graced our digital pages. Spectre star Daniel Craig sustained a minor injury in the course of this filming, after the DB10 he was riding in hit a pretty significant pothole. We've also caught 007's Aston filming in the UK.
