1990 Jaguar XJS with 49,000 miles in good condition, white with tan interior and black top.

The car has been in my family since 2001 when it was purchased with 10k miles. It has been well taken care of and driven summers and stored winters ever since. It is in original condition except for updating the air conditioning.

V12 engine with automatic transmission, rides and runs great; top and interior are in great shape. Having inherited another great convertible now it is time to let this one go. I've really enjoyed owning this car.

This Jaguar is a luxury touring convertible with plenty of power, fun to drive and gets plenty of stares. Readied it for summer with an AC charge and oil change.

Car has the manual, the top boot cover and only one set of keys. Over other cars this age the lower mileage, regular maintenance, attention to condition make this stand out. Maintenance has included replacing all the fluids and changing the bushings in the suspension and steering to keep the ride and handling of the car tight aside from the oil changes, tire rotation and the basics. The tires look good. The only thing I can tell is that the rear muffler/silencers could be replaced.

About 40,000 miles this XJS has had a complete tune up. I've replaced one AC hose, the antenna motor as well as the window motors because they would stick from time to time. I've had the car while living in Chicago, Houston and now Minneapolis and managed to locate an excellent Jaguar shop in each location to ensure I had someone knowledgeable working on the car.

The car has been kept in ready-to-drive shape and while storing this over the winter I've run the engine few weeks. I've tried to remove all the mystery on the details and happy to answer any other questions.

I added the highest resolution photos I could and hope the ones I've posted tell the story as the car does show light wear, small chips and dings normal for a car with this mileage; even if the photos can't show them they are there and I don't want to over-represent the condition - if there's any doubts ask. There are very tiny marks on the driver's door where the metal creases where I was told the first owner's Bently opened into this car. You should see some wear on the driver's seat too, otherwise the interior is well represented in the photos. There is one noticeable dent on the left front fender near the very corner of the car but it doesn't seem to show in the photos. There is a another tiny depression on the hood too only noticeable at the right angle about the size of a quarter.

The inside most corners of the driver and passenger door have a small spot where rust shows and there is one chip on the hood that probably has some oxidation as well. Having showed these to a few paint and body shops the recommendation was repainting would lower the value and not worth making a spot repair unless part of a larger section. I should have probably detailed the car but at least you can see what it photographs like after a wash.

I've priced this to move and really seeing if this listing will do it before considering another option. You can look up the NADA Guides pricing and find out average retail is over $10k and I had a local estimate for this one at $12k but having watched listings and sales over the last few months before putting this up I've put a reserve at which I'm comfortable letting it go and obviously I'm more interested in a modest private sale amount..

Thanks for looking please ask any questions before you bid.

CAR IS SOLD AS IS without warranty of any kind.

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

Which is hotter, Lana Del Rey or the Jaguar F-Type?

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

Lana Del Rey's "Burning Desire" video, the first musical collaboration between Jaguar and its hired songstress, is half music video, half long-form lifestyle commercial for the 2014 F-Type. If you like Del Rey channeling glamorous fifties fame as she lays down vocals of sensuous, languid dolor over images of black-and-white yesteryears, you'll like this song off of her new EP, Paradise.
We think the appearance of a red and brand-new Jaguar, though, is incongruous - either Del Rey or Jaguar is the anachronism, take your pic. That's not to say it's not beautiful, however, so enjoy the combination in the video below.
