1993 Jaguar Xjs Base Coupe 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
1993 Jaguar XJS Coupe- This is a special car as only 30 coupes and 70 roadsters were imported with a factory installed 5-speed manual transmission. Except for 1993 and 1994, Jaguar did not equip export vehicles with manual transmissions. With a 4.0 liter engine and the manual transmission, it is a great driving car. Overall condition is very good. I am a mechanic and I’ve owned this car for 10 years. I have over $4800 in receipts for parts that have been installed, not to repair, but to make it better. Suspension has been all redone with bronze racing rear bushings as well as poly front bushings and rack bushings. I also have (which is included, a new clutch kit $1200 in the original package, and new front seat leathers $800 and new steering hoses. It does not need a clutch or steering hoses, but I figured it would be a good idea to have them just in case. The car has two very small bubble areas in the paint that would be pretty easy to fix, the headliner is brand new. The “ski slope wood” on the console is brand new (bought for $350 NOS from Jaguar) The rear end has been completely pulled from the car and the brakes have been done, including emergency brake pads and new rear pinion seal installed. Transmission and differential has had Royal Purple Synthetic Gear oil since I’ve owned it, the engine is very strong and has had only synthetic since I’ve owned it. I was planning on keeping this car forever, since I’ve owned 4 XJS’s in the past and it took a long time to find a manual transmission car. But I bought a newer XK8 and this car just sits in a garage, which is just a shame. All brakes are new, including front calipers, rear calipers have been rebuilt. Clutch master and slave have been rebuilt with a new rubber clutch line. This car needs nothing more than a new home…..a good home. Asking $7950 OBO. Quinn Marcom |

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 Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
