1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible
29k Miles (yes, only 29,000 miles!)
5.7cid V-12 Engine, GM THM400 Automatic Transmission

Everything works, convertible top is Brand New!
Cold A/C, upgraded
Power Windows, Power Seats
New custom exhaust, purrs like a kitten!

This is the one you've been waiting for......
As near perfect as any XJS Convertible you will find!

This Jaguar was purchased by me last June with just over 29,000 miles. It now has 29,500 miles.  During the last 500 miles, I've made many enhancements for your driving pleasure.

Unlike many sellers who drone on endlessly with flowery descriptions but they don't have a clue what's under the paint......I've owned many XJS's and know exactly what it takes to go from an "average" XJS to an "Oustanding" XJS!

New in the last 500 miles:
Convertible Top, Including liner
Inside Headliner

Front Bilstein Shocks
Rear Boge Shocks
Both are high-end, high performance shock absorber manufacturers.

Rear Sport Spring Set (4)
Check out the ride-height (gap above tires). 
Most cars of this vintage will be substantally sagging over the rear wheels.  (Go ahead, check out those other XJS vehicles on Ebay!)
Why new rear springs you say? 
The rear springs on XJS cars are much smaller than the front springs..
Even though only 29k miles, the springs have been holding the car up for 22 years...they get tired!!

Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Front
Addco Performance Sport Roll Bar - Rear
Eliminates all body roll during turns...Take turns (or freeway ramps) at any speed, and the car stays flat!

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (Large & Small ends)
Note large-bushing air-gaps mounted sideways to reduce IRS movement- Originally installed in-line which allows IRS to roll
High-Performance Connecting Links
   Fully adjustable to allow for rear sway bar tuning

Custom Free-Flowing Exhaust System
  Stacked glass-pack mufflers reduce back pressure, engine runs cooler & delivers a pleasing note, especially with top down
Pirelli P600 Radial Tires
   Jaguar XJS's OEM used Pirelli Tires for their performance, endurance, and styling

Front Brake Calipers & Pads
   New Dual-Piston Front Calipers, New Premium Pads

New Interior Ski Slope, w/cup-holders (no ashtrays)
   Finally! Someone designed a replacement ski-slope with cup holders!
Oil Change - Oil Filter - Lube (yes, this car has grease fittings)
Marelli Distributor Rotor

All new speakers in front doors and rear cabinet area

New Halogen Fog Lamp bulbs

New Poly Steering-Rack Bushings
   Steering is tight, car tracks beautifully!

Paint appears original, body is slick and smooth.
   There was a minor paint touchup done that will be hard to discover!

Now if a similar car you see on Ebay is advertised as "absolutely perfect", or "simply stunningly", recognize salesman-speak when you hear it.
While these vintage cars can be in 'really good' condition, at 20+ yrs old, they ALL have some issues.  You will always be chasing some little thing on these cars, so if you're allergic to maintenence, this car is "not" for you.
.
Here are the "very few" deficiencies I've noted on this car...See pictures:
   Carpet in rear deck "where sun had shone through" was replaced. Slightly off color to the floor carpeting.
   Previous owner replaced original hood "Growler" medallion with a "Leaper" medallion
 (The Leaper was only used on sedans (aka Saloons)
       While this may not be a big deal, it will definately subtract points at a Concours judging event!
        (And even more painful, sometimes you'll see a Growler AND a Leaper together on the same hood...Yikes!)

   Electric door locks are tempermental.
       Trunk however can be locked separately. Recommend never locking convertible doors anyway!

Features:
This is an ultra-smooth ride. 
Starts easily, fast idles when cold, RPM's drop to 800 when warm. 
No warning lights, bells, or whistles after normal start up.

Car eagerly accelerates, responding to your desire.....shifts smooth, stops quickly.
Exceptionally quiet body noise for a convertible - No clicks, pops, groans, thumps, etc.

All interior courtesy lamps work when doors open.
All exterior lamps are fully functional.

Electric windows and electric top works perfectly.
Trip computer face is flawless
(most this age are heat-fogged). 
Rear window defogger (wires on glass) works fine.

OEM Cruise Control engages and holds perfect speed. 
OEM AM/FM/Stereo Radio and Cassette Deck are both rebuilt.
Rear deck (trunk) lid is flawless. 
(Many in this era are rusted along outer bottom edge)

New battery in trunk,  plus small trickle charger permanently mounted.
(Previous owner didn't drive it much!)
Includes original Jaguar tool kit in trunk pouch
Includes all owners' manuals
Includes brand-new, never used spare tire on mag rim
(Rim is identical to mounted tires)
Includes canvas OEM parade cover
(covers retracted convertible top)
Includes several repair manuals on CD

Did I mention this car only has 29k miles?

This car is a head turner and will be your pride and other's envy.. 
Can you tell I'm a little bit of a fanatic about how I maintain my Jaguars?

This is an exceptional, reliable, exotic, and highly sought-after automobile.
I'd REALLY like to sell it to someone that has previously owned an XJS so they can realize just how much better one can be with the right knowledge and TLC!

The NADA Guide "Average" Retail on this beauty is $15400, "High Retail" is $22,100
(Look it up....NADA.com!)
I am pleased to offer as a buy-it-now for only $13,900

Terms:
$1000 non-refundable deposit via paypal within 24 hours.
Balance due either bank-wire or cash in-person
Fly into Daytona International Airpoirt, and drive it home. 
I'll assist with vehicle transporter if you prefer this method.

You see my feedback, you know I'm a straight shooter.

Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.

Jaguar Land Rover may buy Silverstone racetrack for new HQ

Thu, Dec 3 2015

Jaguar Land Rover might add another chapter to its venerable motorsports legacy by purchasing the revered UK racetrack Silverstone to use as its new company headquarters. JLR could reportedly offer 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at current rates) to buy the circuit, according to Automotive News Europe, which cites several British media sources. The British automaker would then invest the equivalent of $78 million to turn the historic track into a celebration of the brand, including a museum, experience center, and hotel. The company would also construct space for its marketing team and engineers, Automotive News Europe reports. Motorsports would still continue there, too, which means the course's Formula One legacy is safe. Neither JLR nor the British Racing Drivers' Club, which leases the track, have confirmed the rumors. The BRDC only suggested that it received several confidential offers to purchase the circuit. Silverstone has a motorsports history that goes back to the late 1940s and is often the home to the Formula One British Grand Prix. The track's organizers have a long-term deal to continue hosting the F1 race, too. Today, the course also features major events from MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In November, Jaguar released a video that celebrated some of its legacy at Silverstone by bringing the modern XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at the track. If the company's purchase happens, you can expect to see a lot more Jags and probably some Land Rovers lapping the course. Related Video:

An E-Type in the garden: rotting '63 Jaguar heads for auction

Wed, Mar 2 2016

There's something about formerly gorgeous cars in dilapidated states from which the eye cannot turn away. The devastatingly cruel fate of this Jaguar E-Type is an illustration. Next week, it likely begins a new life. Still voluptuous after decades rotting in a garden, this 1963 Series 1 fixed head coupe will be offered for sale at the Coys auction Tuesday in London. The car has 44,870 miles on the odometer and has passed through several owners, including one with a tangential connection to the Beatles and another man who used the Jag to pull his MG to Brands Hatch. He would race them both, according to Coys' listing, wringing the most out of the E-Type's 265-horsepower inline six. Ivor Arbiter was owner No. 1. His link to history is that he designed the Beatles drop-T logo in the early '60s and was reportedly paid five British pounds for it. He bought the E-Type new in 1963, used it, and then sold it to in 1965. The E-Type passed through a couple of owners until motorsports enthusiast Frank Riches bought it in '67. He tracked the Jag at some of Britain's iconic circuits and drove it until he fried the clutch. Coys cites a story from Riches' brother recounting when the E-Type hit 150 miles per hour on a public road, its listed top speed. It was in storage until the 1980s, and then Riches relocated it to his garden, where it has sat for years. Considering its long dormancy, the Jag appears to be in reasonable shape. It's never been restored, obviously, and Riches still has many of the original parts he replaced, including the center console and radiator bar. Coys notes that the seats have a "lovely patina" and are worth saving, too. The buyer also gets a brown logbook, the sales invoice to Riches, two service books (it is a '63 Jag) and a spare parts catalogue. A Coys auctioneer told ITV.com that the car could net about $140,000. Related Video: Jaguar Auctions Coupe Luxury Performance jaguar e-type
