1989 Jaguar Xjs Cabriolet, V12, All Orginal. 41k Miles! Immaculate Condition. on 2040-cars
Mattituck, New York, United States
|
1989 Jaguar XK-S Cabriolet (Convertible) Only 40k miles! Completely Original. Mint. The Jaguar XJ-S is a luxury grand tourer that replaced the legendary E-Type (or XK-E) in September 1975, and was based on the XJ saloon. It was an exceptional grand tourer, more aerodynamic than the E-Type, and was built over an amazing 21-year production life. This longevity is a testimony to its excellence and makes parts availability easy and reasonable. The XJ’s amazingly ultra-smooth power comes from the legendary Jaguar V-12 engine, with notable other V-12s coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJ-S compared well with both Italian icons; it accelerates to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.8 seconds and reaches 142 mph (229 km/h). The heavy-duty GM Turbo-Hydromatic TH400 transmission is bulletproof and can be serviced widely. Besides the silky smooth power of the V-12 and the unmatchable Jaguar ride, the XJ-S delivered luxury on a par with Bentley and Rolls Royce, with rich leather sport seats, high-gloss wood accents throughout the interior, and a host of amenities: Power Top, Power Steering, 4-wheel Power Disc Brakes, Climate Control A/C, AM/FM/Cassette Stereo, Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Lumbar, Power Door Locks, etc., etc. This particular car is one of the finest examples of the XJ-S Convertible in the States. That is not an exaggeration. It is a 41k original mile, two-owner specimen that was garaged from new, and waxed, serviced and detailed religiously. Nothing has been changed or needed to be restored. No accidents or rust... in fact, very little separates this car from the day it was delivered. The engine compartment is immaculate, the paint and interior as perfect as a 25-year old car can be. (By the way, this like-new car nonetheless qualifies as an antique for insurance, inspection and registration.) The mechanics of the car are noting short of superb. Everything on the car, from engine and transmission to the stereo and power accessories, operates exactly as they should. Given the proper care, this car should last a lifetime. Its built-quality is of the highest standard and its condition, unrivalled. Everything that came with the car originally, including the leather-bound owner’s manual, books, jack, boot, etc. are supplied. Whether you are a Jaguar enthusiast, a collector, or someone looking for an affordable rare and distinctive automobile in perfect condition, this Jaguar is available for far less than the book value*, and will provide immeasurable driving and ownership pleasure. Offered for sale or interesting exchange. Please Call Michael at: 631 553 5300 *NADA Book Value: $14,300 *CPI Value Guide: $14,950 |

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
