1987 Jaguar Xjs-c V12 5.3l Automatic With 78,021 Miles, Runs But Needs Work on 2040-cars
Springfield, Oregon, United States
This is a 1987 Jaguar XJS-C with the V12 5.3L engine and an automatic transmission.
I have keys and title in hand. Will run but it sounds like it is only running on 10 or 11 cylinders, very ruff idle. Most likely bad distributor, spark plugs, or clogged injector. Transmission shifts into forward and reverse and seems to be working, but I have never driven it to find out. Has slow water leak on water reservoir, rest of the coolant system seems ok. Breaks have no fluid in them but arn't seized. Most of the electrical in the car works, some things need attention like windshield wipers and window motors. It is missing the driver side window, seams to have rails and motor still installed, just no glass. Driver side door handle is broken and needs replaced. Driver side interior door panel has been removed, probably because of window and door handle. door panel is still with the car. Headliner is bad and missing sections and some trim pieces. Seats are in ok condition, no major tears, the only hole is a 1" puncture in the driver side rear seat. The backs of the front seats have been removed for some reason, but they are with the car. Carpet was replaced with house carpet for some reason I do not know, that really needs replaced. Interior wood trim is oxidized and clear coat is flaking off. Just surface rust in scratches or dings and some interior pieces. The rest of the care is great for how long it sat. Not a lot of dents, two biggest are a ding in front passenger fender and one little one in passenger side running board. Paint is in ok shape, some fading, scratches, dings, and bubbles. Hood has a deep scratch in the center, looks like it was keyed and someone touched up the paint. Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions. |

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
Prince Harry drove Meghan Markle to their Royal Wedding reception in this electric Jaguar
Sat, May 19 2018Well over a billion people all over the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this morning, but now that it's all said and done, it's time to direct our attention to the car that the newly crowned Duke and Duchess of Sussex drove to their reception. The Jaguar E-Type Zero first debuted in September of 2017, but it's getting a whole heck of a lot more press today than it did then. Welcome to the Royal Family, Jag. Jaguar left as much of the original 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type in tact as possible while replacing the original inline-six engine with an electric motor and battery pack. Enough power is sent to the rear wheels to push this feline from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds. That means it's quicker now than it was when new and chugging on gasoline.

The E-Type Zero's range of 170 miles is way more than enough to whisk the happy couple away from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate, where Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, is hosting their wedding reception. But if it were to run out of juice, its 40kWh battery can be recharged in under 7 hours. Want one of your own? The Daily Mail says it'll cost GBP350,000 (that's over $470,000 here in the States). Just don't expect a customized license plate to match the date of your wedding. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ
Fri, 23 May 2014Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.
