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

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
Driving Notes
Jaguar planning additional models, engines
Fri, May 1 2015Jaguar is in the midst of a product offensive, rolling out the new XE and XF sedans while preparing the upcoming F-Pace crossover. But it's not about to sit on its leather-upholstered laurels. According to Motor Trend, the British automaker has a slew of projects in the cooker. For starters, there will reportedly be more versions of the flexible new Ingenium engine family. The lineup is being launched with gasoline and diesel four-cylinder engines, but is tipped to breed smaller three-cylinder versions as well to slot into a variety of Jaguar and Land Rover models. More intriguing, however, is the suggestion that Coventry is planning to replace its long-serving 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with a new straight six engine that could go turbocharged – which would make some sense out of the 35t moniker being worn by the supercharged XE. Of course Jaguar is going to need some new vehicles to slot those engines into, and MT suggests there are several possibilities under consideration (if not actual current development). The XE could breed wagon, coupe and convertible versions, as well as an SVR variant to take on the the BMW M4, Cadillac ATS-V et al. If the F-Pace proves a success, it could lead to larger and smaller crossovers in the future. The next XK is tipped to grow larger and go up-market. There, it would compete with the likes of the Bentley Continental GT, Rolls-Royce Wraith and Mercedes S-Class Coupe, while steering clear of the smaller F-Type. Related Video:
550-hp Jaguar F-Pace SVR revealed ahead of New York Auto Show
Wed, Mar 28 2018"I love this car." So said Jaguar designer Ian Callum, quite genuinely, as the Jaguar F-Pace SVR drove onto the stage at the company's new headquarters in Mahwah, N.J. Despite accepting and even embracing Jaguar's decision to produce SUVs, it's quite obvious (because he says so repeatedly) that Callum is still a guy with a lust for high-powered sports cars. The F-Pace SVR melds these two elements to create something he gleefully describes as "ridiculous." Boasting Jaguar Land Rover's now-familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V8, the SVR produces 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. Jag estimates it'll hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph, which will make it one of the quickest and fastest SUVs on the road when it arrives in dealerships this summer. View 15 Photos It's not just the big engine, however. Upgraded mechanical improvements and enhancements include stiffer springs, wider and lighter forged alloy wheels (21- or 22 inches), bigger brakes (15.5-inch front, 15.6-inch rear), an electronic active rear differential, a variable active exhaust that's 14.5 pounds lighter than the standard one, and specially tuned software for the adaptive suspension, electric steering, eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive and Dynamic Driving Mode. Callum's team also massaged the aerodynamics with larger air intakes, rear bumper side strakes, and fender vents that lower pressure in the wheel arches to reduce lift and increase cooling. A unique hood features vents designed to, well, vent hot air from the engine compartment. There are also wheel arch extensions and lower body moldings to create a more muscular appearance, while the rear sees fat quad tailpipes that one would assume should bark and burp like any good Jaguar SVR. Inside, there are thinner, light-weight sport seats done up in snazzy quilted leather. The rear seat also gets sportier seats with a similar fixed headrest design as those up front. The pistol-like sport gear selector shifter, as used in the Jaguar F-Type, replaces the standard rotary shifter design. It still takes up way too much room on the center console. Pricing starts at $80,985. One would assume Mr. Callum will gets his for less than that. Related Video:
