1995 Jaguar Xjs A Dream To Drive And Show -- Needs Nothing Done! on 2040-cars
Costa Mesa, California, United States
|
1995 Jaguar XJS convertible that is beautiful to behold and a dream to drive: power, stability, handling and comfort. All systems and accessories work well, and the brand new tires are designed for a "comfort ride" that yet delivers performance. No corrosion and no leaks at all. Over-hauled A/C is ice cold. Car's temperature gauge remains at normal, even thru our recent heat wave. All power systems work perfectly. Mechanics recommend that these big cats should be driven, not just parked, and indeed this XJS has averaged a moderate 7000 miles a year. (The long-time owners practiced psychotherapy out of their Tibberon home and took the Jag out of the garage for special events and vacation cruises.) The overwhelming consensus of car-guys is that the 1995-6 XJS with the 4.0 L inline six is the one to own -- most reliable, most collectable and moving into a strong phase of appreciation.
I purchased this beauty for my wife's 67th birthday (it's in her name) and we both love it! But eventually she had the courage to tell me that she would really prefer a Jaguar Sedan. So -- good spouse always -- I found and bought her a beautiful Jaguar Sedan, and now therefore I am eager to find a new home for this enchantiing rag-top. All routine services are recent, and yesterday I had the car smogged ("passed with flying colors," said the tech) in order to simplify the transaction. It's hard to know just what to ask for such a "fine motor" (as the Brit's say). But let me know what you think, for I'm a reasonable man. Meanwhile, I enjoy driving and showing this elegant European luxury sports convertible. |

Leno and Ian Callum pilot Jaguar XK120 at 2014 Mille Miglia
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Jay Leno has been in a British mood recently with his videos highlighting the McLaren P1, 1962 Norton 650SS and Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS. He's keeping the streak alive this week with a look at driving a Jaguar XK120 in the 2014 Mille Miglia historic rally with Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum.
The video show off Jay Leno's Garage in top form. It's way more than just Jay driving the 1,000-mile route from Brescia, Italy, to Rome and back. He also includes interviews with Stirling Moss about winning the race back in 1955, and racer Martin Brundle about what it's like to drive a long-nose Jaguar D-Type this year.
Today, the Mille Miglia is only for historic cars, and it has a much more relaxed pace than the original all-out event. However, this isn't entirely a cruise. Leno seems scared at times talking about it because the drivers are free to ignore the speed limits and open the cars up as much as they are willing to. The roads aren't shut down for regular traffic, either, and things can be dangerous.

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.
