1992 Jaguar XJS. Excellent daily driver. 45,788+/- miles; Still driving in nice weather. Garaged since I've owned it and probably most of her 21 year old life.
I believe I am the 3rd owner. In this section only I will list known issues. The anti lock brake light is occasionally flickering. My Jag specialist made several suggestions which included replace the accumulator and drain and flush the brake system. I have not done these things as the car has excellent brakes and all disc were replaced fairly recently as all pads are full and calipers show No wear at all. Crawling underneath for the first time shocked me. Almost spotless and No rust not even surface rust.
The hood does have 2 noticeable dings. The trunk lid has a small area of peeling clear coat (Pictured). The car should have electric locks and a factory key-fob; I do not have the key-fob. I do have 2 ignition keys and 1 door-lock key. The electric antenna is not working properly but can be raised and lowered manually.
The car is an absolute dream to drive. I can assist with loading on YOUR arranged transporter OR I will gladly pick you up from the airport as I feel very confident in the car's ability to be driven Anywhere in the US. Sorry, I will not accept or help with transport overseas. Repairing, driving, enjoying, and moving on to a new and different model is my quirky hobby. Having said that I sincerely believe that I will own another XJS and hopefully soon. Just a very enjoyable purist driving experience. Having driven many BMW and Mercedes Benz cars of various types in the last 20 years sort of pushed me "frightened" into this Jaguar experience and now I'm hooked. Luxury Convertible like NO other can even come close to for such small $$$. I check my email daily and if you're Serious and want this car...send me a message and I'll make myself available over the phone. Also, I will gladly send more pictures by way of my phone if there's something you would like a better picture of. I'm looking for an offer at least Close to my asking price as far as negotiating is concerned.

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.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.
