I restored this excellent Jaguar 5 years ago. It has less than 1000 mile on a complete rotisserie restoration. The car was restored for my wife to use so I spared no expense to make it a perfect driver. It has an upgraded cooling system with an aluminum radiator and a hi-torque starter. I added a R-134 under dash air conditioner and a marvelous 5 speed transmission. The engine was rebuilt and the car was painted back to the original silver with the totally new original color red interior. All the chrome was redone and I had an invisible bra installed on the nose and on the rocker panels. We broke the car in carefully and when I asked my wife when she was going to drive her most favorite car of all time, she said "Never"! I think the long hood and the manual transmission with the hills in our area make her worried about hurting it. The car sits in our garage and does not get the exercise it deserves. I think the car is close to perfect. The flaws I notice are; the rear window has some light scratches on it, the front bumper on the drivers side has a little chrome flaw on the edge, the left rear wheel chrome is starting to degrade and that is all I can find. The car has been very popular at every show we have taken it to. The color combination is unbelievable as the pictures show. If you want more information, I would be happy to provide it.

Lister introduces 666 hp, 208 mph limited edition Thunder
Sat, Feb 3 2018Lister is one of the most storied nameplates when it comes to Jaguar-based racing cars, with tons of Le Mans heritage on its shoulders. The company says it's Britain's oldest surviving racing car company. As well as racing cars, Lister has produced several road-going specials, such as the widened XJ-S derivative called Le Mans and the Storm, whose 7-liter V12-engine was not only based on the XJR-9 racing car, but also the biggest V12 engine fitted to a production car since WWII. Now, in addition to continuation specials like the reborn Knobbly, there is a new Lister on the market — boldly called the Thunder. The Thunder is based on the F-Type, but its supercharged 5-liter V8 has been re-engineered to reach 666 horsepower. It will reach 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, 100 mph in 6.8 seconds and go all the way to 208 mph. To compare a production F-Type SVR to the Thunder, the Jaguar-badged car has 99 less horsepower and takes half a second longer to hit 62 mph. There will only be 99 units built, and they are priced at almost $200,000 in the UK — we reached out to Lister for a confirmation whether the cars will be made available to U.S. buyers. But they are selling out soon, as Lister today announced that in the 24 hours since the unveiling of the Thunder, 22 customers already put in an order, worth in excess of $4.37 million. But the Thunder will be much more than a limited edition plaque in the dashboard (and that 99 extra horsepower); the paintwork and the interior will be bespoke to the specially built car. The modifications to turn an F-Type into a Lister Thunder will be carried out at Lister's historic facility in Cambridge, UK.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
