Cherry, pampered, Carnival Red, 1-owner, new engine 9K miles ago. As close to
new as a 14-year-old car can be. Garaged at both ends of its commute, this Seattle
car has never seen salt and barely seen sun; that's why the paint is still vibrant and
shiny. The exterior has a half-dozen micro-flaws (tiny rock dings, one scratch; see
close-up pics). The interior is like new save for a dime-size crack in the parking
brake boot, a nickel-size scuff on the steering wheel, a quarter-size (tar?) stain in
the driver's foot well, and slight scuffing on the driver's seat.

This first-year S-Type had an engine with the nikasil cylinder liners. (For the
uninitiated, search "Jaguar nikasil"). At 118K, the engine was done. Wife loved the
car (it's her driver), so I had the original engine completely rebuilt to the tune of
$14K (including labor); see the scanned paperwork. Now it's a year later and she
wants a Jaguar XK. Oh well. (By the way, will trade with cash for a 2007-09 Jaguar
XK, or 2000-03 Subaru WRX wagon, unless it's silver or gray.)

Have all records from day one. All the failure-prone bits have already been replaced.
Someone's going to get a beautiful great-driving car at a bargain price. The opening
bid is the cost of the new engine.

$500 due at auction's end. Any form of payment is OK, but I'll wait for any check
(including cashier's checks) to clear the originating bank before releasing the car.

This is the part of the auction text where there's usually a bunch of vaguely
threatening language about your bid being a contract, and ask any questions before
you bid, and stuff like that. Here's my deal: buying a car online is hard. I've bought
and sold several over the years. If you're near Seattle, you're welcome to come drive
this car and have it inspected by a mechanic. If you win this auction and for whatever
reason do not like this car when you see it in person and drive it, then you can have
your deposit back, no hassle, no negative feedback. The fault will be entirely mine
for somehow failing to represent the car accurately.

If you will be shipping the car, I'm home during the day and can assist your shipper.
If you want to fly in and drive home, I can pick you up at the airport; I live about 10
miles from Sea-Tac.

Any questions, don't hesitate.

Aston and Jag from James Bond Spectre have at it

Sun, May 3 2015

Daniel Craig hasn't made a bad James Bond film yet. Spectre is his next step into the iconic role that's due to hit theaters on November 6, and it doesn't look likely to ruin his streak. Still, that's a long wait for such an exciting movie. If you're willing to possibly spoil just a little for yourself, a new featurette shows part of one of the big car chases right now. From what we've seen so far, the chase through Rome in Spectre has earned a good amount of screen time. While the reason for it in the plot is a mystery, that doesn't really matter anyway. What's important is that the scene stars Bond in the Aston Martin DB10 and a villain played by Dave Bautista in the now supercharged V8-powered version of the Jaguar C-X75 racing around the Italian capital's tight streets at night. This clip gives a glimpse at some of the work necessary to get the difficult filming completed. We've seen some of that effort before, though, when footage of the preparation for one shot leaked out. Craig reportedly sustained a pretty bad bump on the head during the shooting, and an earlier rumor also suggested that Bond might get behind the wheel of a Fiat 500 at some point in the scene.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.
