This is an excellent example of the Marque. By 1986, a lot of the "twitchiness" associated with the XJS had been sorted out. The day I acquired her I immediately drove 250 miles at 75 MPH plus without a hitch. She has had better than average care from previous owners and I have taken care of the glitches she was developing do to age and use. Both her standard and european auto mechanics have given an "excellent" rating and there are no immediate needs including drive train and inboard rear brakes (a true pain in the differential). You may speak with them if you chose.

Her color is very rare in the market place and immediately sets her aside. She had a very good repaint at some point, but there are some blemishes. They added a full body stripe and body moldings which are not original, but do not detract from her appearance. The interior is original and was redyed; very well done. Carpets are worn, but in much better condition than you would except for her age. The wood trim is excellent save around the push buttons, there is some delamination there, but again, not needing immediate attention. All major systems function including the climate control and it will actually cycle thru cool to heat automatically. The only items which do not work are the passenger side mirror power button, the antenna, cruise and the fog lights. I am not repairing these as I do not use them. I had the cruise checked and the switch, vacuum solenoid and bellows are all functional. She has always started and run and I do not hesitate to take her out at will. Still has the tools and a starfish wheel spare.

She runs as a V12 should, effortlessly, quiet and when required, fast. I have easily taken her into triple digits with speed and torque to spare. Her ride is smooth, but with a firmness that is transferred through her suspension and steering, allowing you to relate to the road. Vintage XJS's are love affairs, a true passion which allows forgiveness of the oddities of English engineering. We are set apart from other classic car owners, driving a machine which truly evolved from the Gran Prix race circuit. It is a machine specifically designed to tame any road you may chose to challenge. A car so dynamic in performance and unique in its stance that even today, she will turn heads simply sitting at the curb. I must profess, V12's are not for everybody. To have one is not ownership, it is a relationship, enter into it wisely.

Please be aware that the deposit is NONREFUNDABLE and must be submitted within 24 hours using Paypal. Final payment must be received within 72 hours after receipt of deposit by cash or cashier's check unless other arrangements are made.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ

Fri, 23 May 2014

Roadkill 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.

Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Editor's Note: Our reporter was anxious to get some time behind the wheel of the XF Sportbrake, even though Jaguar only had a very small window available for us to drive it. As a result, we weren't able to capture our usual original images to go with the Quick Spin story. Please accept our regrets, and Jag's lovely stock photography, instead.
The last wagon attempt from Jaguar was the X-Type, built between 2003 and that model line's unceremonious end in 2009. That X-Type and its legacy represent a real dog of a chapter for Jaguar, and for the Halewood factory where the barker was built. It was the final joke told prior to the brand's proper rebirth phase - a phase we're enjoying the heck out of today.
Current magnanimous Jaguar owner Tata can be thanked for this new wagon, the XF Sportbrake. Like all newness coming from Jag these days, this new wagon also feels lightyears more serious an offering, ready to compete squarely with established premium wagon makers across Europe. A Jaguar wagon in America is a far-off priority for the company, frankly. Still we deserve to know what we're missing for the time being from this (sometimes overly) cherished British firm.
