1989 Jaguar XJS V12 convertible. Blue with blue leather. 62,000 miles. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it forever, but, here it is. Originally owned by an insurance company in Albany New York, sold to an attorney in Albany, then sold to an attorney that lives near me. The prior owner let it sit for 4 years, I bought it, it wouldn't start. I got it going, NICE, it runs smooth, but you can't drive it around because of the power steering leak, and, the brakes. It does drive creamy smooth, you need to feel that, a V12 is incredible. Well, here's a list of good and bad.
GOOD VERY early factory convertible, build date June 1988 Brand new oil and filter, 10.5 quarts New distributor New pick up coil in distributor New rotor Included but not installed, new front brake pads A Convertible!\ Leather Wood 62,000 miles Convertible top is perfect Body is shiny, no rust, hood is a bit dull Rear of body and trunk vern nice as far as rust goes It's now an ANTIQUE BAD High pressure power steering hose leaking and needs replaced Brake pads needed on front, ALL 4 CALIPERS MAY BE FROZEN, driving the car may free them up. It still moves forward in D with no gas pedal Flooorboards are RUSTED THROUGH. There is a hole by the driver's and passenger's feet. Driver's side is worse Wires were chewed by mice. Still to be fixed... alternator needs wire hooked up to D+ terminal, Coolant sensor needs connected. Cruise control was brittle and broke off. There are loose wire on both sides of the trunk. One side may be a home security system, the other factory towing hook up. There may be other wires to attend to, I don't know Top is leaking hydraulic fluid and doesn't go down, I didn't look at it yet, there is a manual bypass switch. Console wood is very bad, dash wood is OK Hood and trunk struts need replaced Leather is worn, but, I have seen much worse The biggest problem is the power steering hose, it leaks right out. I am working on that now, but selling the car will eliminate that problem...for me. There may be other problems, it is a 25 year old Jaguar, I am being brutally honest, I would prefer you looked the car over with me. Cash only, please, that's what I paid, no checks, no Money Orders, no anything, even if you become my best buddy. Cash only, PLEASE. Since this is PA, we must also go to a notary to sign the title. $4500, or make offer. Please call 570 898 1992 |

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.
Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works.
According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.
50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
