1990 Jaguar XJS with 49,000 miles in good condition, white with tan interior and black top. 

The car has been in my family since 2001 when it was purchased with 10k miles. It has been well taken care of and driven summers and stored winters ever since. It is in original condition except for updating the air conditioning. 

V12 engine with automatic transmission, rides and runs great; top and interior are in great shape. Having inherited another great convertible now it is time to let this one go. I've really enjoyed owning this car.

This Jaguar is a luxury touring convertible with plenty of power, fun to drive and gets plenty of stares. Readied it for summer with an AC charge and oil change. 

Car has the manual, the top boot cover and only one set of keys.  Over other cars this age the lower mileage, regular maintenance, attention to condition make this stand out. Maintenance has included replacing all the fluids and changing the bushings in the suspension and steering to keep the ride and handling of the car tight aside from the oil changes, tire rotation and the basics.  The tires look good.  The only thing I can tell is that the rear muffler/silencers could be replaced.

About 40,000 miles this XJS has had a complete tune up. I've replaced one AC hose, the antenna motor as well as the window motors because they would stick from time to time. I've had the car while living in Chicago, Houston and now Minneapolis and managed to locate an excellent Jaguar shop in each location to ensure I had someone knowledgeable working on the car.

The car has been kept in ready-to-drive shape and while storing this over the winter I've run the engine few weeks.  I've tried to remove all the mystery on the details and happy to answer any other questions.

I added the highest resolution photos I could and hope the ones I've posted tell the story as the car does show light wear, small chips and dings normal for a car with this mileage; even if the photos can't show them they are there and I don't want to over-represent the condition - if there's any doubts ask.  There are very tiny marks on the driver's door where the metal creases where I was told the first owner's Bently opened into this car.  You should see some wear on the driver's seat too, otherwise the interior is well represented in the photos.  There is one noticeable dent on the left front fender near the very corner of the car but it doesn't seem to show in the photos.  There is a another tiny depression on the hood too only noticeable at the right angle about the size of a quarter. 

The inside most corners of the driver and passenger door have a small spot where rust shows and there is one chip on the hood that probably has some oxidation as well.  Having showed these to a few paint and body shops the recommendation was repainting would lower the value and not worth making a spot repair unless part of a larger section.  I should have probably detailed the car but at least you can see what it photographs like after a wash. 

I've priced this to move and really seeing if this listing will do it before considering another option.  You can look up the NADA Guides pricing and find out average retail is over $10k and I had a local estimate for this one at $12k but having watched listings and sales over the last few months before putting this up I've put a reserve at which I'm comfortable letting it go and obviously I'm more interested in a modest private sale amount..

Thanks for looking please ask any questions before you bid.

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
