This beautiful and timeless Jaguar XJ8 was built between Birmingham, UK and Coventry, UK for the interior trim. It's a two owner car that's been very well kept and serviced, it runs like new. It has a pale gold color exterior that I would describe as champagne, the off white leather interior makes the cabin feel bright and spacious


The body has no dings, dents or scratches. The paint is shiny and it's apparent that this cat spent most of its nights in a garage. The interior is clean and has no missing parts, scratches, tears or stains. It looks great and smells clean.The engine compartment is clean and shows no leaks or signs of wear. The drive train runs smoothly with no noises or fuss, the shifter has the Jaguar logo and shifts like new, no skips or slips on shifts - actually it does so smoothly that you can't feel it shifting. If I were to summarize, I would say that this car is clean and mechanically very sound.


There are no reported manufacturer's defects on this vehicle. No signs or smells that indicate it's ever been smoked in. I am a non smoker.

The engine is an exceptional V8 - one of the most powerful in the segment - it purrs but runs strong and smooth providing the power you expect from a Jaguar. 
All the electrical options are in working order. Non of the engine or maintenance lights are illuminated. 

As you can see in the pictures, the interior is clean while the seats show almost no wear. The leather along with the wood trim make the cabin a very special place to be.

AC blows ice-cold and the heat blows hot. The passengers in the rear can also control and direct airflow. For the seating, there are 14 adjustable power controls including lumbar support for both driver and passenger seats and 3 memory settings so that different drivers can feel comfortably in the same car or for different sitting positions according to the driving environment you face - relaxed for highway cruising, or more hands on for a bit of sport driving. Also comes with speed sensing steering, which makes it easy to navigate through parking lots.

 

This car includes the PREMIUM surround system make your tunes come alive, with fully adjustable settings, and many predefined ones, such as Cathedral, Orchestra, Stadium and many others. Store up to 20 FM/AM presets for the radio.


I'm straining to find a critical element to this Jag, the front driver seat shows some modest use but as you can see from the pictures it's nothing excessive.


The car is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. We've had some weird weather and as you can see the pictures were taken in the rain. If you want pictures of something specific, let me know. 


This is a very beautiful and special car, one that whisks you away and never ceases to put a smile on your face. I hope it finds a good home with someone who will cherish it.


Thanks for looking!

2016 Jaguar XF Review

Thu, Feb 4 2016

We last drove the new Jaguar XF in Spain last September, sampling it in 380-horsepower S spec and in 2.0-liter turbodiesel forms. We found both versions to provide a supple ride, despite some body roll, and loved the supercharged model's ample thrust from any engine speed. The ZF-provided eight-speed automatic was also applauded for its competence, making the sport paddles an unnecessary formality. If anything, our last drive only left us pining for a better infotainment system, as Jaguar Land Rover's painfully outdated one has been a target of our ire for a while. A limited amount of time behind the wheel, and a desire to see how much the slightly less powerful 2016 Jaguar XF 35t R-Sport gives away to its S-badged stablemate, leads us to our tester. In British Racing Green, the new XF is both more handsome than the slightly manic-looking old XF, yet also slightly more anonymous. This is a lithe shape, with crisp lines and few gimmicks, save the fender vents, which are about as tasteful as that element comes. The car's charms are especially evident from up front. Despite a distracting cut line, the hood is tastefully built up in two steps: a sharp rise from the headlight/fender area, and in the middle a tasteful power bulge. The overall effect is one of thoughtful, purposeful design – after all, this is Ian Callum's work – rather than taking a corporate-mandated design language and scaling it up or down to suit the hardpoints. Spend some time around FCA's UConnect system and you'll see where Jaguar needs to improve. Inside, this XF is a mixed bag. Let's start with the positives. Despite being shod in a rather boring black hide, the front seats are wonderfully comfortable and supportive without aggressive bolstering. The cabin would really wake up with a more interesting leather, like the brown that Jaguar calls "Brogue," covering the seats and door panels. Whatever you think of the rotary shift selector, the knurling on its diameter and the solidity of its action conveys the sense of craftsmanship you'd expect from a British luxury car. Some other controls, such as the cheap-looking and -feeling control stalks sprouting form the otherwise wonderful steering wheel, do not. And that takes us to the infotainment system. This XF does away with Jaguar's old, much-maligned user interface, which was blocky and balky in equal measures.

Hardcore Jaguar F-Type underway, 600 horsepower possible

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Thanks to an already potent range of supercharged engines with some of the best exhaust notes available, the Jaguar F-Type is without a doubt a sublime performer. Still, there's always room to grow, and we are getting another good look from the Nurburgring at what's suspected to be an even more powerful version on the way. Spy shots of what was believed to be the Jaguar F-Type R-S first came out last spring. This time the roadster is practically uncamouflaged, though. The similarities are definitely there, and both test cars wear the same wheel design and quad-tailpipe rear diffuser. The latest one lacks the massive front splitter jutting out but gets a quite large, fixed trunk lid spoiler at the rear. You can also spot some large-diameter ceramic brake discs behind the wheels. The things happening under the bonnet might be even more interesting, though. To befit all of the exterior performance upgrades, Jaguar's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is expected to nestle between the front wheels, and the mill is likely getting a boost in power to take output to 580 or even 600 horsepower, versus 550hp in standard form. Hopefully, the extra grunt makes the exhaust note even more intoxicating, as well.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
