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. |

2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 17 Jun 2014We'd consider giving up vital organs for the opportunity to drive any number of vehicles on the Nürburgring: supercars, racecars, track cars, even hot hatches... but a station wagon? That might not seem like a top choice at first blush, but this is no ordinary wagon. This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake.
Now if that name leaves you scratching your head, there are several good reasons for that - not least of which is the unfortunate reality that, unlike so many performance-oriented crossovers and sport-utes, the Sportbrake is not offered in North America. But suppose it were, or that weren't a factor. You'd likely still be left wondering how the name Jaguar ended up on a station wagon in the first place, and how that machine wound up bearing the letters R-S, the suffix affixed only to Coventry's most hardcore performance models.
Our brief story goes back a little over two years to when Jaguar revealed the XF Sportbrake at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, giving its mid-level sedan an elongated roof and added cargo capacity. The Sportbrake may not be the first wagon to wear the Leaping Cat badge, but following the lamentable X-Type Sportwagon, it could be argued that the XF is the first authentic Jag estate.
Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
