Made in the UK 1998 Jaguar XJ8 with 90,341 original miles. Vehicle has been running fine up until last week, that's when the transmission started slipping, that's when the transmission fault code and engine light came on. Overall, very good physical condition for it's age (just a few minors dings, but no rust present). I took it to a local auto repair shop and was hoping the transmission fluid could be changed, however, when the auto repair shop put it on their machine, 3 gear fault codes were identified (I do not know which ones). The auto repair shop said more than likely it needs another transmission, but I have not had anyone else check out the vehicle since so I can't confirm exactly what needs to be done. I was able to drive the car home with the transmission fault present, but parked the car and haven't driven it since.
I've owned the vehicle since 43,020 miles, and this is the first time I've had transmission issues. Comes with OEM upgraded Jaguar rims and Pirelli PZero tires which 3 are in good condition (left front tire is wearing on the inside, so will eventually need to be replaced). Rims are tires cost $3,600.00 alone. Heat, air conditioning, radio, CD player, and garage door opener works. Full spare tire and two sets of remote keys included. New water pump, coolant hoses, belt, and newer style aluminum thermostat housing installed 3 - 4 years ago.
Car is sold as is; no warranties are guarantees implied and not interested in selling parts off the car. You are buying the entire car with engine, rims, tires, etc.
Here are the known issues I can think of at the moment (I will update accordingly as I remember anything additional):
1. Antenna is broken, so it needs to be replaced.
2. Memory setting does not save position settings for driver's seat.
3. Rear view mirror is loose (Not sure how to fix this).
4. Headliner upholstery above rear seats is sagging.
Additional pics available upon request.
Pickup: The car must be picked up locally. Under no circumstances will I be able to make any type of arrangements other than local pickup. Since the car is experiencing transmission issues, I strongly suggest it be towed as opposed to driven.
Payment: Payment is due within 72 hours of the auction ends.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ
Fri, 23 May 2014Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.
Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious
Tue, 17 Dec 2013This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.
