I have a 1989 Jaguar XJS for sale. It has 102000 miles.
The exterior is beautiful, has nice shiny glossy dark green paint, and very few minor dings (smaller than a quarter)
The interior is tan leather, it is in good shape, and while it does show signs of aging, it is still soft, and free of any rips and tears.
The convertible top does have several small tears in it, as you can see in the pictures. The top, and rear quarter windows work perfectly, and go up, and retract under their own power, using the switch on the center console.
This car is currently not drivable, I have been able to start it, it has spark, gets fuel to the rails, but half of the injectors are not firing. We have swapped out "bad injectors" with known good injectors, and this did not fix the problem. We tested the fuel injection wiring harness and it appeared to be good. It leads me to believe that you will need a new Fuel Injection ECM to fix the car... they sell for between 150-300 dollars on ebay.
Engine has good compression, and turns over freely. If you wiggle the connector at the ecm she will start up occasionally. Car does not overheat, and is in great shape overall, just need to figure out why injectors aren't firing to get it going. Car comes with lein sale paperwork for the state of california. Paperwork shows over 3900 in repairs to the car. Transmission was fully rebuilt, guy couldn't pay the bill so it was sold as collateral. I have the lein sale paperwork, and was told by my auto registration place that it would be between 250 and 300 dollars to transfer title and register the car.
This is a great car for the jaguar enthusiast. It does need a few minor things, but is a beautful car and could easily be brought back to life. This car will be sold as is. I ran a VIN check, and the car has a clean title, no reports of loss or accidents, checks out great. See pictures or contact me for more information.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
