1994 Jaguar Xjs With 72,000 Miles, 6 Cylinder, Metallic Green, Excellent Shape on 2040-cars
Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, United States
|
This 1994 XJS coupe is in very good condition. Before I bought it, it had been repainted in the original metallic green (not British racing green) which I believe is called Brooklands green. It has the European style headlights and the optional headlight washers. There is a small area on the "fin" (connecting area) that runs from the roof to the trunk lid on the passengers side (this is inside that area - cannot be seen when looking at the car from the side - you need to look at that area from the rear of the trunk facing the rear window) where the clear coat has peeled. This area is approximately 5 inches long by 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches in height in the shape of a capital "M". It is relatively inconspicuous. The tires are Michelin P235/60 R15's with a lot of tread left; however there are cracks in the rubber - I was losing air in two of them so I had 4 Coker tubes installed - the problem was solved. I didn't want to buy new tires as the ones on the car have lots of tread. The car runs fine - I drive it on the highway at 65 mph. If it sits in the garage for several weeks without being run, I need to trickle charge the battery. There seems to be a small electrical drain somewhere. I did have my mechanic check this out, but he couldn't find anything specific. When I drive the car regularly, there is no problem with this. The interior of the car is in very good shape - the rear seat is in excellent shape (as no one can fit back there in my opinion). Headliner is fine. Wood panels on doors have cracks - none on the console or elsewhere. Dash is not cracked. I have owned the car for over two years. It is registered, insured, and has a current inspection sticker.

Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
