 Jaguar XJ12s of which there are very few (less than 60 made for the US) pop up on eBay once every 6 months or so.

This XJ12 will be for sale once and it is the best of all of them.

Last year of Jaguars infamous V12. Incredibly rare, you will never see another on the road.

This car has ABSOLUTELY NO - leaks, overheating, noises, rattles, tears, stains, wear. Period.

This is a show car, owned and operated by me for the last few years. I collect cars as a hobby and repair cars as a business owner. In fact this car is even on the sign for my auto repair facility, euautoworksmn

Every inch of this car has been inspected, thousands (9-10K to be fairly accurate) in receipts for parts (not counting labour) are pictured in the glove box. Everything and anything that may have been needed was done. This was my personal car and cost was no object as with any of my cars. I built this car to last forever and be endlessly reliable, thus nothing needs to be done.

The only modification I made is the addition of the Lattice wheels at a cost of $2300 or so, and a set of Pirelli P600s at 1K a set. The original 16" Vanden Plas wheels are on a pile with nearly new Michelins on them and are included if desired. Aside from the wheels this car needs no modification. Of all the cars I have owned this car is the closest any manufacturer has come to the perfect sport luxury sedan. Low, Lean, Long, Fast, and on a level all its own for looks.

I added on a set of ultra plush LLoyd floor mats $249 and had a professional tint the windows to 30% like all of my other cars.

The state you see the car in is the state in which I keep it every day, no quick detail and buff right before the pictures. If you look closely the whole car is covered in dust as I haven't driven it in a few weeks. And that is the problem, I don't drive enough to keep this car. They need to be used and I have to many cars to use them all... So all in all this car needs an owner that can enjoy it.

On a final note, this car impresses and honestly looks alot better in person than in pictures. The camera for some reason doesn't convey the low long stance as it looks in person. An absolutely stunning car from any angle or perspective.

Good luck bidding and please relay any questions to me before auction end


You have right to inspect the vehicle or have an inspection carried out at your expense before auction end, not after. If you have questions feel free to ask. If you cannot afford this car or for any other reason cannot smoothly perform this transaction please refrain from bidding. Once the auction is won you have entered a contract to purchase the car. Those are the eBay rules in a nutshell.

Jaguar Land Rover exploring 3D HUD and infotainment projections

Wed, Aug 21 2019

With its most recent technology research, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is exploring the use of 3D projections for a world before and/or after autonomous vehicles come to fruition. In collaboration with the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge, JLR has developed concepts for a 3D head-up display that shows information on the road ahead and a system that projects personalized 3D infotainment for vehicle passengers.  As of right now, hundreds of production vehicles are equipped with two-dimensional head-up displays, some color, others black and white. Using various techniques and different technologies, manufacturers display information in a flat image in front of a driver. Some might find it distracting or unhelpful to have this in the driver's line of sight, and JLR might have found a solution. Rather than wedge the information in between the person and the view ahead, a 3D system that uses augmented reality could display the info onto the road in front of the driver. JLR thinks the system could project navigation directions, safety alerts such as lane departure, hazard detection or other bits typically found in a car's infotainment or instrument cluster. Some might find this to be even more distracting that 2D head-up displays, but to each his or her own. While the 3D head-up display is something that could be used right now, if it were released and passed legal, part two of JLR's 3D technology research is imagined for a life where truly autonomous vehicles are skating across the country. Using head- and eye-tracking technology, the system could lock into the position of numerous people in a vehicle and give each of them a personalized 3D projection "screen." This could be used to track a trip, look up points of interest, or even watch movies. JLR points out this could be used during ride-sharing without bothering others in the vehicle. The work with the Center for Advanced Photonics and Electronics at Cambridge is still in development for now, but it's only a matter of time before 3D tech makes it into cars in some degree.

The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
