 This beautiful Metalic Red Jaguar with it's distinctive Series III body style and it's new correct Vanden Plas leather interior draws the attention of everyone where ever you go. If your sitting at a stop sign, or rolling up to the country club for dinner, everyone notices this Jaguar. I brought this car up from Florida about 10 years ago and it has been our "Saturday Night" car in the summer months ever since. It has been well maintained mechanically and is as much fun to drive as it is to look at. Once you have driven a Jaguar, you come to appreciate the handling and performance only these classics can deliver. The floors, trunk, frame, etc. are all solid as the day I brought it up from Florida. There is only a slight bubble in the paint, smaller then a dime, on the sunroof, and if you get down on your hands and knees you can see where the front valance has scraped a parking block a few too many times. There has been several upgrades to this car like the poly bushings in the front end and the improved rear trans mount to eliminate vibration, just to name a few. The brakes have just been redone, including new rotors on the front and rear. This car is very dependable and ready to drive anywhere. The heat and a/c all work fine, windows and sunroof function as they should and the original radio comes with the security code should you ever need it. Only mechanical issues I know of is the fuel gauge on the right side fuel tank doesn't register but the tank and pump functions correctly, and the climate control is sometimes tempermental so I leave it on a/c mode as I only drive it in the summer months anyway. No puddles on the driveway or noises when it's running, this car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. Only reason I'm selling is that I'm getting up in age and it's time to let others enjoy some of my toys. Good luck in bidding and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Tata confirms JLR is looking at NA for new plant

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Despite recent rumors to the contrary, Jaguar Land Rover is considering building a factory in North America, though not necessarily in the United States. The confirmation comes directly from former Tata Motors boss and still chairman emeritus Ratan Tata in a conversation with Automotive News. "The company is indeed looking at North America as a location for another plant. Where they locate that plant, in which country or which state they locate, is something they will need to decide," Tata said to AN. The magnate indicated that he wasn't taking part in the decision, though. Rumors of JLR's plans to open a factory in the US go back to at least to 2014. The automaker was reportedly looking to open a plant in the South to produce around 200,000 vehicles a year, and at the time, South Carolina was considered a possible location. However, later speculation made Georgia a likely contender, especially after the state's governor reportedly flew to the UK to pitch the company on the idea. Recently, the business had allegedly changed its mind and had turned the sights towards Austria or Turkey as potential alternatives. JLR is seemingly on a factory building binge at the moment. It opened a new engine plant in the UK late last year and its first manufacturing center in China at about the same time. The latest Land Rover Discovery Sport will also get assembled in Brazil for the local market.

Recharge Wrap-up: Jaguar Land Rover talks EVs, Batteries should be modular

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A new study out of Germany suggests adopting a modular approach to battery offerings in plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles. Automakers could offer the same car with different battery sizes (and different costs, accordingly) to drivers depending on their driving ranges. This would optimize the total cost of ownership for various drivers better than the current approach. Developing a modular battery design and offering appropriate batteries for different customers "is the key for electric powertrains to meet customer expectations and become cost competitive against conventional technologies," according to the report from the Institute of Vehicle Concepts, German Aerospace Center. Learn more at Green Car Congress. Jaguar and Land Rover are looking to offer more electric driving from their vehicles. Wolfgang Ziebart, head of product development for Jaguar Land Rover, said in an interview that its hybrid system is being tweaked for more electric power and "downsized" combustion. He also said the likely target market for EVs would be second and third vehicles, rather than primary vehicles for urban driving. Within that market, Europeans look for something smaller, while American drivers lean toward larger luxury vehicles for their second car. Ziebart uses the Tesla Model S as an example of American tastes, and compares its size to that of the Jaguar XJ. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Thailand will likely approve a Volkswagen factory as early as next week. A German newspaper suggests that Thailand's Board of Investment is set to greenlight the plant, which is planned for a site near the Port of Bangkok. Thailand is a relatively large and growing auto manufacturing country, which seeks to be a major producer of eco-friendly vehicles. The country's "Eco2" program would provide incentives to Volkswagen if it builds clean cars and meets certain production targets. Read more at Reuters. Formula E has chosen Sky Deutschland for broadcasting rights in the German market. The deal includes television rights, as well as online broadcasting. Sky Deutschland has 3.8 million subscribers in Germany and Austria. Showing the races on Germany's largest pay television provider should help generate interest for the series, particularly the Berlin ePrix - the inaugural season's penultimate race - scheduled for May 30, 2015.
