1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Bloomfield, New Jersey, United States
|
I purchased the vehicle a couple of years ago with a blown engine & slight accident damage to the left front. The previous owner had the transmission rebuilt & not too long after the nicasil cylinder lining on the engine block gave out. Because of that the engine had no compression & would not run. I bought the car because I always liked the long wheel base Vanden Plas but unfortunately I can't afford to keep it. I had an extra 2002 XJ8 engine with bad valves, so I rebuilt the short block from the 02 engine & had the cylinder heads rebuilt from the original engine. i also installed all new timing chains & guides with upgraded metal tensioners. The engine also has the 2002 high volume oil pump which actually squirts oil on the timing chain. As far as the body damage, which was only very minor, I bought a used left front fender & front bumper, the fender was already blue but the bumper needed to be painted. I should have painted the fender because after time passed the clear coat is starting to peel a little bit. The right rear quarter has a little bit of rust, which probably can be repaired fairly easy. The interior is in very good shape. All of the seats are in nice condition, there is no tears in the leather. The rear headliner is sagging but is held up with some straight pins. I removed the factory radio & installed a Pioneer DVD, Navigation & iPod head unit. Normally you can't fit a double din radio into this dash, so I had to customize the opening to make it fit & look factory. In my opinion it looks excellent. |

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.

Jaguar Land Rover to skip 2016 Detroit Auto Show
Mon, Nov 23 2015Jaguar Land Rover won't attend the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January because the automaker will shift its focus to other international shows instead, the company confirmed to Autoblog. "Following a review of our global consumer engagement program, the decision has been made not to exhibit at the Detroit show in 2016," said a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The story was first reported by Automotive News. JLR will continue to attend other US auto shows in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles; plus those abroad in Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris, Beijing, and Shanghai. "We recognize that the Detroit show is a world-class Tier 1 auto show, however, we have had to make this decision to sharpen our focus as indicated," the spokesperson said. Detroit Auto Show PR Manager Max Muncey told Autoblog that the organizers already knew JLR wouldn't be there. "We are in discussions with other automakers to fill that spot," he said about using the open space. The show expects 70 percent of the floor plan in 2016 to be different from last year. The automaker used the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to announce diesel versions for several models, and it revealed the name for the Jaguar F-Pace there. JLR reportedly now has a plan to cut the equivalent of $6.8 billion in costs without firing workers and increase production to a million annual deliveries by the end of the decade. Related Video:
