1986 Jaguar Xjs on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

I bought this a couple months ago on Ebay from a gent in New York. It had come out of a 6 year storage. It runs and drives. Engine has a bit of lifter tick. I suspect that it needs to have a good oil change since it sat for so long. My plan was to change all the fluids, filters and do a good tune up. It is very straight with just a bit of rust on the lower rear around the edge of the rockers. Not bad at all. It has had a repaint but they obviously stored it with boxes sitting on it as there are many scratches. I have tried sanding some with 2000 grit paper and detailer solution and polished by hand where I sanded. It will polish up nicely. Some of the scratches will have to be attended to with touch up paint, though. Has a clean interior and all the electrics work i.e. windows, lights, radio, blower fan, etc. The a/c does not work. The carpets are in nice shape and the door panels and wood inserts and dash are nice also. The gauges work and it has good oil pressure and I have let it run for a time and it has not overheated yet.The tires are bad. The battery in it is from a larger group size so you'll want to replace it. I have the spare rim with no tire on it. Headlights work as do the wipers. Bumpers in nice shape. The chrome inserts on the back are badly pitted but I have replacements for the chrome in good condition. I don't think you could drive it home. The tires are pretty bad and it really should be gone over. Would be an a big shame to part it out although it has great parts value. But it is solid and with a bit of work it would make a nice driver. I don't think I will get to it as my schedule has chnged in the past 3 weeks and there is no time available right now. That could chnge in the future but I hate to see it sit in my garage.

Seven-figure cars highlight day one of RM's Monterey auction
Sat, 17 Aug 2013RM Auctions is one of several houses holding auctions during the Monterey weekend, and Friday night's festivities got quite pricey. Seven-figure vehicles were not at all uncommon during the first day of the two-day event, with the 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider, seen above, crossing the block for $9,075,000.
Other big earners included a pair of rare Ferraris, a 1950 166 MM Barchetta and a 1955 750 Monza Spider, which took $3,080,000 and $4,070,000, respectively. Outside of the red Italians, a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special captured $7,480,000 while a stunning, color-appropriate 1955 Jaguar D-Type took $3,850,000. We've got images of these vehicles, and a few other stunning examples of last night's auction, in the gallery above.
Thought it seems impossible, tonight's auction is expected to see even more high-dollar action. The winner of the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours, a 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Torpedo Roadster is expected to command over $10 million. Also crossing the block will be a car we reported on a few weeks back - a supremely rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder. One of only 10 in the world, it's expected to take anywhere from $14 to $17 million when it hits the stage tonight.
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
