This is an excellent example of the Marque.  By 1986, a lot of the "twitchiness" associated with the XJS had been sorted out. The day I acquired her I immediately drove 250 miles at 75 MPH plus without a hitch. She has had better than average care from previous owners and I have taken care of the glitches she was developing do to age and use. Both her standard and european auto mechanics have given an "excellent" rating and there are no immediate needs including drive train and inboard rear brakes (a true pain in the differential). You may speak with them if you chose.


Her color is very rare in the market place and immediately sets her aside. She had a very good repaint at some point, but there are some blemishes. They added a full body stripe and body moldings which are not original, but do not detract from her appearance. The interior is original and was redyed; very well done. Carpets are worn, but in much better condition than you would except for her age. The wood trim is excellent save around the push buttons, there is some delamination there, but again, not needing immediate attention. All major systems function including the climate control and it will actually cycle thru cool to heat automatically. The only items which do not work are the passenger side mirror power button, the antenna, cruise and the fog lights. I am not repairing these as I do not use them. I had the cruise checked and the switch, vacuum solenoid and bellows are all functional. She has always started and run and I do not hesitate to take her out at will. Still has the tools and a starfish wheel spare.

She runs as a V12 should, effortlessly, quiet and when required, fast. I have easily taken her into triple digits with speed and torque to spare. Her ride is smooth, but with a firmness that is transferred through her suspension and steering, allowing you to relate to the road. Vintage XJS's are love affairs, a true passion which allows forgiveness of the oddities of English engineering. We are set apart from other classic car owners, driving a machine which truly evolved from the Gran Prix race circuit. It is a machine specifically designed to tame any road you may chose to challenge.  A car so dynamic in performance and unique in its stance that even today, she will turn heads simply sitting at the curb. I must profess, V12's are not for everybody. To have one is not ownership, it is a relationship, enter into it wisely.

Jaguar F-Pace leaps into crossover segment [UPDATE]

Mon, Sep 14 2015

UPDATE: Jaguar has issued a statement indicating that the F-Pace cargo volume specified in the original official press release, was incorrect. In short, the correct figure is 33.5 cubic-feet, not 23 cu-ft, and we've updated the text. Here's the statement: "The previous draft of the release we issued incorrectly identified cargo volume in the Jaguar F-PACE using a figure that was not calculated using the US Market standard SAE methodology. The correct specification for rear load space volume in the 2017 Jaguar F-PACE with the second row seats up is 33.5 cu.ft., not 22.95 cu.ft." It's been two years since Jaguar showed off the C-X17 concept crossover at the Frankfurt Motor Show, giving us a deep metallic blue taste of what the world would look like with a leaping-cat in it. Here we have the production result, the 2017 F-Pace, coming to dealerships in Spring 2016. It will be offered in four trims - Premium, Prestige, R-Sport, and S - with three engines. Two supercharged V6 engines come at launch, one with 340 horsepower, the second with 380 hp, both shifting through the same ZF eight-speed transmission from the sedan range. Some time after that a 2.0-liter Ingenium diesel will join the lineup, offering 180 hp and 317 lb-ft. To get in, the price for that eventual diesel is will be $40,9907, while the V6s start at $42,390 and $56,700. If you liked the look of the C-X17 then there's nothing to put you off the F-Pace. The illuminated intakes from the concept are gone and the fender vents have a slightly different graphic, but otherwise you'll find Waldo before you'll find significant exterior changes. The body is one third aluminum, tweaked with high-strength steel, magnesium, and composites creating torsional stiffness numbers that match the new XF. Wheels go from 18 inches to 22 inches, hung at the ends of a double-wishbone setup in front, an integral link suspension in back, and monotube dampers all around, over a wheelbase that's 113 inches. Short overhangs front and back that mean a maximal approach angle of 25.5 degrees, a max departure angle of 25.7-degrees. The standard instrument binnacle is two analogue dials flanking a TFT display, the upgraded unit is a 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster. It sounds like the interior trim will go as high up as you want it - something has to justify the $14,310 price difference between the V6 models - with "available leather" on the low end, aluminum mesh and satin grey ash at the other end.

Jaguar Buys World's Largest Collection Of British Classic Cars

Fri, Jul 25 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Jaguar's Special Operations division announced today it has bought the world's largest collection of classic British cars. The 543 cars had belonged to wealthy dental entrepreneur Dr. James Hull, who sold the entire collection to the British automaker for $170 million dollars. Jaguar scored 130 of its own vehicles in the lot, including a XK, SS, C, D and E-types, XJ as well as a few rare Land Rovers, according to Road & Track. The division that bought the cars is not only responsible for the heritage museum, but also for special projects. Special Operations finished the 18-car run of the lightweight E-types, albeit 50 years late. Jaguar plans to use the cars as promotional pieces to highlight the history of the brand, according to Cars UK. Related Gallery Retro Features Car Shoppers Still Want

Here's the 2021 Jaguar F-Type reveal with Hot Wheels

Mon, Dec 2 2019

UPDATE: The car has been shown in full. You can check out all the details in our reveal post here. The collaboration with Hot Wheels sprouted the reveal video that you can find above. Jaguar and Hot Wheels built a 761-foot long course with 44 corners in the Jaguar design studio. You can see the F-Type Hot Wheels cars go around it before meeting the life-size F-Type at the end. There’s a new Jaguar F-Type coming today, and the show is bound to be worth watching. Jaguar is revealing the sports car at 3 p.m. ET, and itÂ’s being done in partnership with Hot Wheels. We all know how dramatic and wild Jaguar reveals can be from its previous stunts. With Hot Wheels as a partner, this F-Type presentation is bound to be quite the show.  If youÂ’d like to see the latest teaser from Jaguar for the F-Type, check out our post here. The Hot Wheels loop-do-loop stunt is teased out, and we get a short glimpse of the car itself.  Spy shots have made it out to be mightily similar to the current generation of F-Type from a design standpoint, but thereÂ’s nothing wrong with that. Standby for a reveal soon. Jaguar F-Type Convertible 3 View 28 Photos
