1994 Jaguar Xjs Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
For sale is my beautiful 1994 Jaguar XJS 2+2 convertible. I
am selling this car due to my impending move to Rhode Island, where the climate
isn't quite convertible friendly and I won't have a garage. While not a competitive show car, it is
definitely a head-turning daily driver. The straight-6 motor does not leak oil,
nor does it blow smoke -- common faults familiar to Jaguar enthusiasts. It also maintains idle at 650rpm. The interior and convertible top were replaced by the
previous owner (I bought this car in the Fall of 2011) prior to my
purchase. All of the hoses in the engine
bay were also replaced by the previous owner. The car has been covered and
garaged since I purchased it, and has only been out in the rain on two
occasions. Goods: -- Power windows, seats, and locks still function properly,
as does the automatic antenna. Power
side-view mirrors and seat heaters still work.
You'll note from the pictures that the car comes with a full-size spare
tire on a matching wheel. Tires aren't
new, but have lots of tread left on them.
The 4.0L straight-6 still has plenty of power and is a pleasure to drive
on highways and curvy roads alike.
Battery is < 1yr old. Others: -- Car could use new motor mounts (relatively cheap fix...at
approximately $65). The automatic
convertible top still works, but the pump motor has a leak that I've been
unable to stop. A replacement motor
costs about $350, and takes about 30min to swap out. The car could probably also use some new
front brakes. Air conditioner could use a refill, as it doesn't cope well with especially hot days. Cruise control does not work, and I have never bothered to investigate why. Extras: -- Car comes with an all-weather cover if you don’t have a
garage or haven’t carved out the space yet for a weekend driver in your
garage. Has a custom cover for the
convertible top for those days when you’re going to have to top down all
day. Previous owner mistook blown fuse
for a faulty radio, and purchased a second OEM Jaguar-correct radio and
corresponding security pin…so in the event that the original radio ever goes
bad you’ll have a second one ready to install. |

Jaguar to finish building six remaining Lightweight E-Types
Thu, 15 May 2014Back in February of 1963, Jaguar set about making a small run of lightweight E-Types. It recrafted the bodywork out of aluminum, shoehorned in a 3.8-liter straight-six with an aluminum block, stripped out the interior, removed the chrome trim and fitted lighter-weight side windows. The result was a 250-pound reduction in curb weight and a commensurate increase in performance, especially evident on the race track. The company originally set about building 18 examples, but only managed 12. The remaining six were allocated chassis numbers, but were never built. That is, until now.
Fifty years since the last of the original 12 lightweight E-Types were completed, Jaguar has announced that it is preparing to resume production and complete the final six examples. The company has assigned its top craftsmen to the job, who will build the half-dozen continuation Lightweights to the same exact specifications as the original dozen. Former sister-company and perennial arch-rival Aston Martin undertook a similar task (or at least authorized Zagato to do so) when it sanctioned four continuation examples of the original DB4 GT Zagato based on original chassis numbers in 1988, and another two based on original body shells and stock DB4 chassis in 1992.
Jaguar has not yet announced pricing and availability for the continuation Lightweights, but the first old-is-new example is set to debut this summer, whereupon Coventry will release further details. You can bet, though, that each one will be snapped up rather quick at just about any price the British automaker cares to put on them.
2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 Supercharged
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Generally speaking, I don't get too upset about the growing need to replace displacement in modern cars. Sure, there are exceptions (don't you touch my 6.2-liter AMG V8), but honestly, the industry's new forced induction powertrains are all lovely, and their gains in fuel economy - when they actually make good on them - can make up for the ever-so-slight losses in performance or driving character.
But I'm having a hard time keeping my chin up with this Jaguar XF. For the 2013 model year, Jaguar has killed off the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and fitted a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic in its place (and even offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine below that). That all sounds perfectly well and good, but a week behind the wheel of this British Racing Green sedan just left me missing that V8. And then some.
Driving Notes
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
