See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"100% complete and RARE (168 total V12's built for the world in William Lyon's final masterpiece... "SHORT WHEELBASE FORM"), for parts or restoration, missing a title and needing a total restoration."

Up for bid is a 1973 Jaguar XJ12 Saloon. NO TITLE....The short wheelbase XJ series was the LAST CAR that Sir William Lyon's designed. These car's would set at his Manor sometimes for close to a year as he added touch's. It would only go into production upon his approval. This is a Short Wheelbase car and was the last year manufactured (168 car's produced for the whole world in '73). If you are a collector of Jag's this is the one you want. When sold new they were touted by Jaguar as "The World's only Mass Produced 12 Cylinder Sedan" and with a top speed "Around a 140 MPH" the "Fastest Full Four-Seater Availible". Built in 1972 and '73 only, it's the last year of the V12 in it's short wheelbase form. A reminder of the V12's performance in America came from Bob Tullius's Group 44 Quaker State 5.3 Litre XKE & XJS that owned SCCA class's in the '70's.  The long wheelbase "L" series started in 1974. This car needs a total restoration, the number's matching V12 turns over and it has a totally rebuilt Borg Warner model 12 transmission that has never turned a tire. Car has 76000 original miles. Here's the story on this California car. It's original women owner was having transmission problem's with her V12 Jaguar, she took it to the local California transmission shop that specialized in european car's to have it inspected. The shop concluded that it had a internal transmission problem that would need it's transmission disassembled to further diagnose & repair. She agreed and left her car. It took almost 7 month's to get it fixed. She wasn't happy when she arrived to take the car home. After paying for a very expensive transmission repair she got in her car to go home and it wouldn't start. The transmission shop was unable to start the car also. Needless to say she was not happy. They agreed to pay to tow the car to her house. After spending alot of money on the transmission and unable to have anyone driveway fix it, the car just set and set for year's. The good...the bad...and the ugly. It's a 100 percent complete (good), it has a large percentage of it's original paint remaining (good), it DOESN'T HAVE A TITLE (bad), the interior need's redone (ugly) however leather seat kit's are dirt cheap. There is only one spot of rust on the body (LH rear door bottom corner-smaller than a deck of card's). Here's one of Automobile magazine's 10 most beautiful car's of all time's in it's beyond rare V12 form. Buy the best XJ long wheelbase car and use the part's to restore this car, long wheelbase car's are inexpensive and plentiful (6's or 12's). Canyon County doesn't like my car's so I have to sell them all, here's my rarest car 1st. Remember ...NO TITLE!!!!...Has not ran for a long time.....For Part's or Rebuild only......Car is in Idaho (208)463-6364

Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.

New Jaguar F-Type to launch — maybe literally — with Hot Wheels' help

Tue, Nov 26 2019

An updated and redesigned Jaguar F-Type is going to be revealed Dec. 2, which is less than a week away at this point. The info comes to us via a tweet from Jaguar, teasing out the reveal with a video. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Update: For a split second, the new F-Type appears to be flashed up onto the screen. We screenshot the video and pasted the photo down below. The side profile is similar to the previous F-Type, which comes as no surprise to us after seeing the spy shots. We can see the red LED taillight and a hint of the headlight design from the photo, too. The most intriguing part of this tweet is at the end, where Jaguar says it’s going to reveal the F-Type in partnership with Hot Wheels. Jaguar and Hot Wheels are not the most obvious of pairings at first, but both have a penchant for theatrics and stunts. Jaguar launched the tiny E-Pace with a barrel roll, completing a 270-degree corkscrew jump and launching it through 50 feet of open air. Nobody was expecting that. WeÂ’re not sure what to expect from the F-Type launch event, but the teaser video shows a Hot Wheels track with a loop. Will Jaguar try and top themselves? WeÂ’re not sure, but itÂ’s worth a watch on Dec. 2 to find out. As for what the actual car will be like, weÂ’ve seen several sets of spy shots (above). The most recent set places the Jaguar on the Nurburgring for track testing. Jaguar hasnÂ’t messed with the F-TypeÂ’s design much since it launched earlier this decade, but thatÂ’s no complaint. Even today, the F-Type is one of the best looking sports cars on sale. And even though Ian Callum isnÂ’t around anymore, weÂ’re sure he had a hand in this redesign. Expect a new interior, updated powertrains and more performance from the F-Type in its updated form next week.Â
