1989 Jaguar XK-S Cabriolet (Convertible) Only 40k miles! Completely Original. Mint.

The Jaguar XJ-S is a luxury grand tourer that replaced the legendary E-Type (or XK-E) in September 1975, and was based on the XJ saloon. It was an exceptional grand tourer, more aerodynamic than the E-Type, and was built over an amazing 21-year production life. This longevity is a testimony to its excellence and makes parts availability easy and reasonable.

The XJ’s amazingly ultra-smooth power comes from the legendary Jaguar V-12 engine, with notable other V-12s coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJ-S compared well with both Italian icons; it accelerates to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.8 seconds and reaches 142 mph (229 km/h). The heavy-duty GM Turbo-Hydromatic TH400 transmission is bulletproof and can be serviced widely.

Besides the silky smooth power of the V-12 and the unmatchable Jaguar ride, the XJ-S delivered luxury on a par with Bentley and Rolls Royce, with rich leather sport seats, high-gloss wood accents throughout the interior, and a host of amenities: Power Top, Power Steering, 4-wheel Power Disc Brakes, Climate Control A/C, AM/FM/Cassette Stereo, Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Lumbar, Power Door Locks, etc., etc.

This particular car is one of the finest examples of the XJ-S Convertible in the States. That is not an exaggeration. It is a 41k original mile, two-owner specimen that was garaged from new, and waxed, serviced and detailed religiously. Nothing has been changed or needed to be restored. No accidents or rust... in fact, very little separates this car from the day it was delivered. The engine compartment is immaculate, the paint and interior as perfect as a 25-year old car can be. (By the way, this like-new car nonetheless qualifies as an antique for insurance, inspection and registration.)

The mechanics of the car are noting short of superb. Everything on the car, from engine and transmission to the stereo and power accessories, operates exactly as they should. Given the proper care, this car should last a lifetime. Its built-quality is of the highest standard and its condition, unrivalled. Everything that came with the car originally, including the leather-bound owner’s manual, books, jack, boot, etc. are supplied.

Whether you are a Jaguar enthusiast, a collector, or someone looking for an affordable rare and distinctive automobile in perfect condition, this Jaguar is available for far less than the book value*, and will provide immeasurable driving and ownership pleasure. Offered for sale or interesting exchange. Please Call Michael at:  631 553 5300

*NADA Book Value: $14,300    *CPI Value Guide: $14,950

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
