Outstanding Condition Up To Date Maintenance And Lots Of History Included on 2040-cars
Peachtree City, Georgia, United States

Up for sale is an outstanding condition 1990 low mileage
Jaguar XJS in a beautiful color combination. I have significant documentation
on this car dating back over 10 years and even had the original window sticker.
While I love driving this car and looking at it I have two XJS’s and one XKE
and future retirement plans will only allow for one play car and that would be
the XKE. Much work has been done on this convertible within the last
9 months to make it mechanically sound and also some suspension enhancements to
improve the ride quality. I am anal about my cars and want them as near perfect
as possible. If you are considering an
older Jaguar make sure you understand that what you buy may cost a significant
amount to bring the car into good condition regardless of miles and stated
condition. I welcome pre bid inspections on this car and will provide a book of
documentation on the work performed over the years. Due to excessive cowl shake on pre 1992 XJS convertibles a
new bracing system was designed to significantly improve ride quality when the
face lift XJS appeared in 1992. I purchased an OEM bracing system for this car
and had it installed to give the car the same ride quality as the redesigned
1992 XJS’s. If you are looking at a pre-1992 XJS please watch out for cowl
shake as the cars age. I can assure you the bracing system which cost me over
$1,600 to buy/install makes a major difference in before and after ride
quality. The following mechanical work was performed by a highly
qualified Jaguar mechanic. 1) New water pump and AC compressor 2) 4 new tires. 3) Installed Dayton wire wheels previously used only 2 years
– outstanding condition 4) New brake accumulator 5) New hood struts 6) Removed all door dings 7) Matched and refinished cracked center console wood 8) New crankshaft seal 9) New steel valve cover gaskets 10) New radiator hoses 11) New coolant expansion tank 12) New throttle shaft bushing 13) All new drive belts 14) New breather hose 15) New intake manifold gasket 16) New plugs 17) OEM undercarriage bracing system 1992 model year and
newer 18) New rear brake drums – very expensive repair due to
inboard brakes 19) New rear brake pads and calipers and emergency brake
pads It’s getting harder to find great quality low mile XJS’s
These cars are starting to gain in value as the price of XKE’s are out of reach
for many and XJS’s are bargains when you consider how rare and exotic these
cars are. For model year 1990 less than 5,000 were manufactured which is about
an average production year. I will be selling this car for less than my
investment over the last 12 months however I do not plan on giving the car
away. If you have any questions about
the car let me know. |

The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar details new Ingenium four-cylinder engines [w/video]
Mon, 29 Sep 2014When Jaguar lifted the veil on its new XE sports sedan earlier this month, it only revealed details on one engine - that being the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the flagship XE S. But we already knew that the British automaker's new entry-level model will offer many other powertrain options, and now it has revealed a little more.
Jaguar has been developing a new family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines it calls Ingenium, which will be offered in a wide array of configurations and specifications. In advance of its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, the Leaping Cat marque has announced the specifications of the two diesel versions. The first will offer 161 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and some of the best environmental credentials on the market. There will also be a more potent version with 177 hp and 317 lb-ft, which Jaguar says is "one of the highest torque outputs in the class." Either way, both versions feature variable exhaust valve timing, cooled low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction technologies to help meet the stringent Euro 6 standards.
That's all well and fine, but considering that Jaguar doesn't offer diesels in North America, the chances of these oil-burners making their way Stateside seem slim. But if you watch the video below, you'll also find basic specs on their gasoline counterparts as well. Like the diesels, they're turbocharged and displace 2.0 liters, but in petrol form, they offer 197 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, or 236 hp and 250 lb-ft.
