1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Classic

Convertible, British Racing Green

Pre-Ford, Built in England

1991 Jaguar XJS Classic Convertible. Original V12 engine. This car has a clear Florida title and has never been wrecked. I am the second owner and have had this auto for about 10 years or so. It has 113,000 miles on it right now. Female owned. She runs great. The faster she goes the smoother the ride. The tires on it are fairly new and have lots of tread. The engine is smooth as silk. The car does need some work and the low price reflects it. I've listed all of the issues that I'm aware of that need to be addressed.

The starter went out on it about a year ago and its been parked in my garage since.

The front brake calipers are leaking and may need replaced.

Engine hoses need replaced. Not leaking but they are due for replacement.

The top's canvas is toast, but frame and electrics are good. The rear deck canvas cover is good.

Needs a battery.

Like all Jag's it has electrical quirks but nothing to keep it from being driven.

Interior is fair.

Exterior is original with no rust and has the preferred wire spoke wheels. 

Drivers door only opens from inside.

Rear windows are stuck down. Probably need the wiring looked at.

There are lots of reasonable parts for these cars listed on ebay, so fixing some of these issues won't break your bank!

All in all a way cool beach and weekend rider for a pretty low price. If you are handy with tools and have a garage and a little time you could have a head turning super cool classic for a great price. I hate to see it go but I have not the time, money or know how to fix it myself.

Note this vehicle is listed by ebayer "thebluemeridian" as a favor for a friend. Thanks.

This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.

Jaguar Classic heading to Le Mans with vintage racers

Wed, Feb 3 2016

A grid full of vintage Jaguars will rumble into France in July to race in the Jaguar Classic Challenge during the Le Mans Classic. The event should give motorsport fans plenty to watch with a bevy of pre-1966 Jags on the famous circuit, including E-Types, XKs, C-Types, D-Types, and even the company's sedans. Jaguar launched the vintage racing series last year to build on the success of the popular E-type Challenge. It continues with a five-event calendar this season but swaps out a meeting at Brands Hatch to go to Le Mans – hard to argue with that change. The drivers also get to lap Donington Park, Silverstone, the Nurburgring, and Oulton Park. Le Mans is practically a home track for these classic Jags. The British automaker dominated the 24-hour race there in the 1950s, including overall victories in '51, '53, '55, '56, and '57. "Watching a diverse array of pre-1966 Jaguars racing on the iconic circuit, some of which even raced there in period, will surely be a sight not to be missed," Tim Hannig, Jaguar Land Rover Classic Director, said in the season announcement. Again, we find it hard to argue with that sentiment.

The Le Mans Classic will be one of the major highlights of the forthcoming season that will see a diverse field of pre-1966 Jaguars going wheel-to-wheel in the competitive single-marque series. Jaguar has a long and successful history at Le Mans, with the marque first winning there back in 1951 with Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead driving the C-type - affectionately known as XKC 003. A one-two finish followed this in 1953 with the duo of Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton taking overall honours. Jaguar dominated Le Mans for three consecutive years in 1955, 1956 and 1957 in the D-type.
