I am selling my 1989 Jaguar 300HP XJS. I love this car. How much? I put 5k miles on this car in 3 months - AND I LIVE IN NYC. Car has been parked in a garage from the day it was made, the second owner had the car for nearly 20 years. I kept on the tradition of over-maintaining things. You can ask my wife, cleaning, servicing, upgrading on a weekly basis.
Why am I selling? The rare opportunity to own a vintage Ferrari has come up, and quite frankly I can't afford to garage two high end cars in NYC. If I lived in the suburbs there would be no question - I'd keep it. Perfect for the early morning drives. Long road trips. Loves long miles and high speeds. The high rev sound of the V12 engine is out of this world. Serious bidders only. I'm honest and candid and happy to answer all questions. Please inspect car to your liking. Reserve right to lower reserve price. Exterior - Paint in excellent condition. Small chips (as car collectors will be used to) that are only visible if pointed out directly. Only superficial, size of a pencil point and only through to primer. Have not seen better original paint from XJS of this year. Wheels are in perfect shape with original undamaged uncracked center jaguar caps. Interior - Very good conditions. Perfect sans 2 things. 1. Center wood slope could be replaced. Approximately $200 on ebay. 2. Piping on driver's side seat torn a bit. Another small repair. Outside of that there are NO blemishes. All wood in great condition. Dashboard in mint condition. All guages and switches and great working order. The carpets are in PERFECT condition. The original owner put cheap aftermarket carpets over the original so there are no stains in the wool whatsover. Leather is soft and uncracked which is rare for a 25 year old convertible! A/C blows cold and heat blows hot. Onboard "computer" works perfectly. Comes with stock cassette deck that is in perfect condition (sorry no Journey or Van Halen cassettes included). Engine - My jaguar mechanic told me this is the second cleanest engine compartment he's ever seen (at least I'm being honest). No rust, no dirt. Has really been taken care of. This car is stored in a closed indoor garage and is not driven in rain. Take a look for yourself and compare with others online and let me know if you've found a cleaner engine compartment. Running Order - Absolutely fantastic. Car accelerates fast, shifts perfectly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, RUNS COOL. I did a full radiator flush and bleed a month ago. In addition to that I upgraded the auxiliary fan switch to a lower temperature trigger. Car runs well below the "N" during normal driving (in between the N and C). In bumper to bumper this runs at the bottom of the N. Please read jaguar forums for information about this - distributor and engine temperature are the 2 most important issues with this car). Service History - Extensive, approximately 20 years worth in hard paper form, including major services which are recommended by Jaguar aficiandos including the infamous distributor overhaul. Wrinkled old window sticker as well (Listed at $59k in 1989) Upgrades - Since March 2014 - 1) Upgraded growler intakes, adds around 15hp (I will include original silenced black airboxes as well if you'd like to swap back), 2) Mid resonator delete, and cat delete (car is exempt from exhaust testing because its 1989 / OBD-I vintage) - adds around 20HP, 3) new break pads, 4) New power steering high pressure hose, 5) New seals for rear differential I invite all mechanics or car guys to inspect. Happy to furnish you with VIN reports. |

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Jaguar's electric speedboat smashes decade-old record
Mon, Jun 18 2018We knew Jaguars prowl on dry land, but apparently they dabble with water, too. Jaguar teamed up with powerboat racing specialist Vector and Williams Advanced Engineering to beat the existing British and world records for fastest battery-powered boat with some expertise from Jaguar's Formula E team. The team had to top 76.8 mph, a record set in 2008 by Helen Loney in her Firefly electric hydroplane with Agni motors. The attempt was made in the same location, Coniston Water in the English Lake District, where speedboat record runs have been made since the days of Sir Malcolm Campbell as early as the 1930s, and son Sir Donald Campbell into the 1950s and 1960s – including the fateful record attempt that cost the younger Campbell his life in 1967. The company's documented the attempt in the video shown above. It reveals that the 2008 record wasn't easy to beat. At first, pilot and Jaguar Vector co-founder Peter Dredge managed to get the boat to 76.6 mph – annoyingly close to, and just under, the record. But a later run rewarded the team's efforts, with a clear improvement of nearly 12 mph, making the new record 88.61 miles per hour. This achievement is also impressive considering that Jaguar and Vector only announced their partnership in October 2017, so progress has been swift. The tech in the boat is reportedly derived from Formula E technology, though Jaguar Vector and Williams Advanced Engineering have not disclosed the boat's exact specifications nor what parts are based on Jaguar Formula E car parts.

2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S [w/video]
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Withhold judgment on the world's greatest exhaust note until after you've heard the Jaguar F-Type V8 S (scroll down now for a sneak peek). Its cackle, boom and pop under deceleration will have you rifling through its glovebox looking for a tool to remove the stereo as an in-dash audio system.
Combining modern technology with age-old exhaust plumbing, Jaguar's British engineers have developed a way to propel spent combustion gases into the atmosphere in a manner that elevates the complete driving experience. At idle, it purrs. Under acceleration, it roars. During cruise, it soothes. Perhaps most compellingly, during deceleration, it titillates.
Thankfully, the newest two-place convertible from Jaguar isn't only defined by its mesmerizing soundtrack - the F-Type would be an impressive sports car even if the world went silent.
