This is a former show car and always garaged; it looks and smells as new. There is a small patch of paint disturbed on the roof of the car but otherwise looks stunning and runs great. Owners say the following:

Faultless with correct maintenance.

Impressive, always attracting positive attention.

This car is all about comfort.

Bags of torque. Acceleration is effortless

A lot of car for not a lot of money.

Good acceleration. Can whisk you over 100mph without realising it's quite docile around town.

Silky smooth ride, slightly cramped interior (but who cares when it looks this good).

Engine: Rock solid build, no problems to date

Buying an XJS

Without a doubt, the XJS is one of the most popular Jaguars ever made and while it may not have the appeal of the legendary E-type it is an excellent choice for someone who wants to enjoy Jaguar ownership at a reasonable cost; and who wouldn't! Needless to say, with such a long run and model variations, XJS can be found from very cheap, as in needing plenty of work, to excellent condition. As a hobby or week end car, there is really no reason to stay away from an early coupe. The V12 is without a doubt one of the very best engine ever build by Jaguar or by any builder for that matter. It is a rugged and reliable engine capable of high mileage with very little problems.

At the other end of the spectrum, the later XJS can make a very good daily driver with decent fuel economy in the case of the AJ6 / AJ16 powered versions. The V12 when driven sensibly won't be worst than most of the SUVs seen on the roads today. Maintenance on the V12 is more costly than on a 6 cylinder car, not only because there are twice as many plugs, wires, injectors, etc... but because with such a big engine access is limited; this is the price to pay for the glamorous V12 badge.

ALL XJS

1976 to 1980. Two door Coupe introduced in late 1975 as successor to the EType. Four place car with room for two. Built on 102" wheelbase.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs

Thu, Feb 1 2018

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
