You are bidding on an extremely RARE Jaguar sedan, the premier XJ12, motorcar to Queen Elizabeth. This California dry air and salt-free environment specimen has had one owner (I bought it off-lease in 1998) and immaculate care. Complete service records since 1998. (The XJ12 model has the extended wheelbase and incorporates all the options and features of the Vanden Plas model as a base.) This is a "post-Ford owned" produced automobile so the problems with the electrical systems are a thing of the past in this model.
It pains me deeply to put this automobile up for sale as I have considered it to be a family heirloom, but circumstances in my life require that I unload some of my "stuff".
The 71,584 miles as of the date of this writing are actual. This has been my "special occasion" car but I have driven it regularly to maintain the integrity of the engine and moving parts. (I have flown airplanes for many years and understand the need for such exercising of the engine, transmission, etc.) There is some minor wear showing on the interior as would be expected of a car of this age, but it is minimal. The hydes are nearly flawless and still have a detectable fragrance of the fine leathers from which they are constructed. The sheet metal is rust-free and has only a few minor blemishes. The paint gleams as if new.
The 366 cu. inch, 313 horsepower V-12 is one of Jaguar's most potent power plant ever produced for a production automobile. It runs smoothly and is undoubtedly capable of taking the car safely to near the top end of the speedometer's 160 mph range.
If you have never experienced the legroom in a Jaguar extended wheelbase sedan, you will be amazed. The burled maple trim is incredible; fold-down picnic trays serving the back seating area are impressive to passengers. The car has an AM/FM radio with six-CD automatic changer and single cassette player. The trunk is air conditioned. The Firestone Affinity Touring tires are properly rated for speed and weight and have approximately 1,000 miles on them (installed 11/9/12), and the KYB shocks are also near-new. New spark plugs and wires in last year. The headliner was replaced by a very professional installer in 2012 as a result of the original liner drooping from age, and can't be told from new.
The list of options is short but amenities long: automatic and semi-manual transmission with "Normal" and "Sport" settings; front and rear fog lamps; automatic climate control; multi-directional power and heated seats; traction control; automatic night setting rear view mirror; full gauges; and on and on.
There is no warranty offered but the care given to this fine automobile promises it has a long life ahead of it. You are welcome to inspect the vehicle prior to bidding, by appointment of course.

This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.
New Jaguar crossover to be called 'XQ'?
Wed, 08 May 2013As part of its upcoming portfolio expansion, Jaguar will be adding two key models to its lineup in the next few years. The first is a small, 3 Series-fighting sedan tentatively called XS, and the other is said to be a new crossover, which may be dubbed XQ, as Edmunds reports. Jaguar filed a trademark application for the name "XQ" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this year, according to the report.
Jaguar executives have long said that the company is investigating new, higher-volume segments for the brand to compete in, and this certainly isn't the first time we've heard rumors of a CUV with a pouncing cat badge. Edmunds opines that since the Land Rover brand will no doubt continue to tackle the more traditional SUV segments, the Jaguar brand could easily house an offering in the luxury crossover market.
As for how a Jaguar CUV could come to fruition, Edmunds offers two suggestions. The first would be to build a vehicle on the smaller platform that will underpin the XS, as it will accommodate both rear- and all-wheel-drive applications and will be used for a number of differently sized vehicles. The second, more logical suggestion, is that the Jag CUV will ride on a version of the all-aluminum D7u platform used in the Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
