2003 Jaguar S- type R
Specially Designed and
Crafted... One of One!
We have had the
pleasure of handling a number of unique, certainly "one of a kind"
vehicles, for Bob. He is in his mid-70's and as a life long designer, engineer
and "hot rod" car guy from the Detroit area, his mind is always busy
thinking of cool and distinct projects.
This Jaguar R type was
born from the idea that he always loved the 1967 Jaguar Mark II, however,
wanted a car he could enjoy without the concerns of the older
"mechanics" of the 1960's Jaguars. His first thought was to convert
an original Mark II to a modern drive train and electronics... What you see
here is the result of a very different project! We think it's stunning and, we
promise, you will have the only one like it!
All enhancements are
cosmetic, this Jaguar remains "stock" under the skin. And for those
who know a little about performance, did you know that if you ran the 1/4 mile
against a factory built 1965 GTO with a tri-power and 4 speed, you would win
the race by 4/10th's of a second? (Information from magazine road tests.) This
400 horse power Jaguar is no kitten! Excerpt from a Car and Driver road test (quoted below) refers to the 408 ft.
lbs. of torque and the ZF six speed automatic transmission with the 4 piston
Brembo calipers for added stopping power.
The 19"
Continental Extreme Contact tires (255 40 ZR rear and 245 ZR front) are mounted
on chromed alloy rims.
The 1967 Jaguar Mark
II grill and tail lights were special ordered from England. The rear deck and
tail areas were reworked and crafted to give it a vintage Bentley -Jag look.
The doors are power remote operated (note the custom "shaved"
handles) as is the deck lid. The paint is PPG Urethane case coat with six coats
of clear.
A multiple year
project, the finishing touches were completed last fall and it has been in
storage all winter. There are no chips, scratches, or dings from driving
or storage.

Jaguar S-type R
Under the hood is a thoroughly
revamped edition of Jaguar's AJ V-8, stroked to 4.2 liters and enhanced with a
new intake manifold, revised heads, and continuously variable (instead of
two-position) intake-valve timing. These and numerous other refinements combine
to improve emissions and boost power output by about seven percent, to 300
horsepower in the S-type 4.2 (many of the same improvements were also extended
to the 3.0-liter V-6). For the R, an Eaton blower is bolted on, spinning five
percent faster than the one in the XJR and XKR and exhaling 13.1 pounds of
boost per inch through twin air-to-water intercoolers.
The only transmission offered on the R is ZF's stunning
new six-speed automatic, fitted with exactly the same gearing as it gets in the
BMW 745i. This is the state-of-the-slushbox art in terms of shift quality and
gear spacing...
The S-type R's controls require little or no acclimation.
Steering effort builds in direct proportion to available grip, and the
chassis's response to the helm is completely predictable. Broad-shouldered
Continental tires provide astonishing grip in stoic silence (after all, if
smoky burnouts are taboo, squealing turns are surely unthinkable). A quiet
scrubbing sound is heard as the tires relinquish their grip, at which point the
stability-control system intervenes just enough to prevent a disaster.
Four-piston Brembo calipers at each corner inspire plenty
of confidence, too.
We welcome a "Pre-Purchase" inspection prior to the end of the auction and are available to answer questions either by e-mail or phone. Our phone number is (248) 589-2700 (We are open every day!)

Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun gets a Jaguar F-Type
Sun, 12 May 2013The Jaguar F-Type is slinking its way into vastly divergent corners of the celebrity world. Lana del Rey is its songstress, Englishman-playing-American-terrorist Damien Lewis lead its cinematic debut in Desire, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets the athletic endorsement, and now it's just been driven behind the "Adults Only" doors at the Playboy Mansion: Raquel Pomplun was gifted a year's use of an F-Type for being named 2013 Playmate of the Year.
There's a video below of Pomplun and her F-Type getting 'camera ready,' and a press release below that in case you want to, you know, "read the article."
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Jaguar confirms 575-hp F-Type Project 7 for Goodwood debut
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Two days ago, Jaguar announced it had something special in store for the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. Then yesterday images of that special creation, the F-Type Project 7, leaked out. And now, as promised, Coventry has released the full details on the ultimate F-Type to date. And its even better than we expected.
The production version of the concept revealed last year, the F-Type Project 7 celebrates the 60th anniversary of the D-Type by borrowing some of that legendary roadster's design cues, right down to the rear fin and British Racing Green livery with white racing stripes.
Of course the Project 7 is more than just a retro appearance package. The bespoke speedster packs a version of Jaguar's prolific 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 575 horsepower - 25 more than the F-Type R Coupe - to make it the Leaping Cat marque's most powerful production car to date. Mated to Coventry's familiar eight-speed automatic transmission, that's said to be enough to propel the Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds en route to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour. Keeping all that power and pace in check and on the road are such features as carbon ceramic brakes, a full complement of carbon-fiber aero components, electronic differential and brake-based torque vectoring system.
