1995 Jaguar Xjs Convertible 2-door 6.0l V12 on 2040-cars
Andover, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a unique and rare opportunity to obtain a true collector car. This is the last year of the 6.0L V12 XJS. If you are not familiar with the 6 liter V12, it was a new engine developed by Jaguar under Ford ownership, and so is both more powerful than the previous 5.3L V12, and also extemely reliable, with modern electronic ignition/fuel injection and Ford's wiring harness removing the old Lucas-based electrical problems. Jaguar only built 243 V12 XJS in 1995 and only about 80 of them came to the US market. Only a handful of those have the rare turbine style wheels and this example was fully optioned with a rear spoiler, CD changer and coldweather pack. This cat has the much sought after Black exterior on Cream leather interior with beige piping and Elmwood paneling. It is in virtually new condition, and you will not see another one like it. As
new, it has never been driven in the rain, and you can see the beauty of the
original black paint in the reflectivity of the trees in the photos. As well,
this cat's cream colored leather interior with beige piping has been regularly
cared for with leather conditioner, and kept well preserved in its heated
berth.
There
is not a scratch on any one of the rare turbine style alloy rims and the
original tires are still holding English air.
Even the original wool carpet mats have never been stepped on.
Fluids
were regularly changed by a Jaguar specialist, and so this beautiful classic
car can be driven without reservation, or shown at your local Jaguar club
concourse immediately. This is the last year for this special car in perfect condition, and with only 10,500 miles on it, I can safey say it is one of a kind, and the best investment XJS you can buy. The original window sticker price on this car was over $85,000. I am only selling this appreciating classic because I decided to stop showing it and instead have bought a new XKR to DRIVE!! (seen in the last photo) I am listing this on ebay for a week or two before I consign it to a classic car auction. You can save yourself some money by bidding on it now before the price increases to include the consignment fees and commission! My reserve price is at or below the prices bid recently for some lesser 94/95 V12 XJS, so you can be assured that if you submit a realistic bid, you can own this spectacular Jaguar.
I will repond immediately to any questions.
Good Luck! |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar XFR-S pitted against Mercedes E63 AMG
Wed, 21 Aug 2013It was Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar who got the tough job of comparing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S on the track and sheep-strewn British B-roads. In UK spec both Mephistophelean sedans wrangle the same 542 horsepower, but step out of the corral and things look to weigh heavily in the Mercedes' favor: it has more torque, it's lighter, it's quicker from 0-to-60 and it's less expensive.
But that's on paper. Sutcliffe was given the job to see what effect all those letters and numbers had on the real-world driving experience. One of them is "an absolute hoot at the track" with great steering and weight management, one is "magnificent." To find out which is which, watch the video below.
Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
