1993 Jaguar XJS with 74,000 miles. Exterior color is Birmingham Blue, and if you are not familiar with this color, most would describe the color as dark green rather than blue. Gorgeous car with tan leather interior. This is likely one of the nicest '93 XJS's on the East Coast. Paint is in very good to excellent condition and no one, including the body shop we use for paint work on our Jaguars, can tell us with any certainty if the car has been resprayed. if it has, the paint job was excellent. Minor blemishes and stone chips on the hood, but unless the car is going to be shown, it doesn't merit having any paint work done. All trim and bumpers are in very good/excellent condition. Glass is also excellent as well as rubber mouldings. Wheels are in perfect condition with tires less than one years old with no more than 1,000 miles since fitting (BFG Radial TA's with white letters turned inward). Stance is fabulous. Mechanically the car needs nothing. When purchased two years ago, all wear items (water pump, belts, hoses, etc.) were replaced to ensure reliability. All fluids changed and transmission flushed professionally. Needs nothing right down to the wiper blades. Air conditioning blows cold with new compressor, pipes and refrigerant. Interior condition is very good; all wood is in good condition. Front seats are the only issue...they show a lot of age and depending on how you want to use the car, you may decide to have them reupholstered. Mats and carpet are very good. Door panels are perfect as well as the rear seating area. Headliner, visors...all very good. Everything works. AM/FM with trunk mounted CD changer with power antenna. The car is fully sorted and ready to shine and drive. Storage battery tender included.

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
Here's what a front-row seat looked like in 2014 Mille Miglia
Tue, 26 Aug 2014From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the great, romantic European road races of the golden era of motorsports. The cars were fast, beautiful and loud but also extremely dangerous and regularly claimed drivers' lives. After two fatal accidents in '57, the event finally had to reform and came back in 1977 as a historic rally held over the course of several days. That didn't make things boring, though, and Xcar found that out firsthand with a front-row seat to this year's race in a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
Xcar was actually following the Jaguar team this year that included Ian Callum and Jay Leno in an XK120, which we previously got a glimpse of when it was covered on Jay Leno's Garage. Where Leno focuses on a more personal story of competing, this one takes a more macro view. You really get an idea of how crazy the Mille Miglia still is, and while the F-Type is way too new to actually compete in the rally, it can still wear an event sticker and drive with the vintage racers.
One amazing fact about today's Mille Miglia is that if you're competing in the event, there are basically no rules. The roads are technically still open to traffic, but the police shut down intersections and provide a rolling roadblock. Xcar's F-Type alternated between following on the course with the classics and snipping off chunks of the route to watch the participants arrive at each stop. Check out the video to experience fantastic historic rally.
Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works.
According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.
