1988 Jaguar Xjsc V12 Landaulet Convertible Rare Special Edition No Reserve on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
 1988 Jaguar XJS C V12 Targa/Convertible This was Jaguar's response to
demands for an open-top XJS. They adopted a stylish Targa top, cleverly
concealing a substantial roll hoop in the interests of maintaining rigidity and
safety. Two removable panels could be stored easily in the trunk and the new car
featured a pair of luggage lockers topped by a parcel shelf in place of the
Coupe's two rear seats. They are quite rare, especially in the V-12
configuration.
This example is in very nice
overall condition and has all the bits and pieces for the different
configurations. All of the gauges work, as does
the stereo and AC. There is a bit of wear on the
drivers seat, but given its age I would say it’s well above average. The paint
is shiny and smooth. I see no evidence of an accident or repairs to the body.
The one issue I have noticed is an intermittent drivers side window. As of now
it is in the up position and will not go down. I’m not sure if it’s a window
switch, regulator or motor. The removable Targa tops are in
excellent condition and I see no sign of water leakage.
It starts and runs very well.
Brakes feel great and it goes down the road straight and true. It does not
smoke and the motor sounds great. This car has all of the books, spare, tools
and other goodies that it originally came with. It even has the original
cassette tape extolling the virtues of Jaguars finery as well as the original
touch-up paint. I can’t even remember the last
time I saw one of these XJS C’s, if you are in the market, this is a great
example!

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
