1999 Jaguar Xj8 Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
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.
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! |

Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online
Fri, 08 Feb 2013
An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
Harry bravely drives Jaguar XJ-S V12 1,000 miles to Monaco
Thu, Jul 30 2015There are a great many cars we'd like to take on a transcontinental journey – especially across Europe. And a good portion of them would probably be grand tourers with twelve-cylinder engines. We're just not sure we'd be as brave as Harry Metcalfe, who drove his 1980 Jaguar XJ-S V12 from his home in the UK all the way down to Monaco. Don't get us wrong, the XJ-S looks like a rather comfortable ride, and with the V12 is surely both smooth and powerful. It's just that Jags didn't have the best reputation for reliability back then, and we'd have been at least a little worried that we wouldn't make it all the way across France on this trip. Nor are we sure we would have wanted to without air conditioning. The model in question, as you'll find out if you watch the video, is an early 1980 example, produced just before Jaguar updated the line with the High-Efficiency versions. As such, it's got a bit more power and shorter gearing than later models. The XJS (as it would later be labeled) would undergo a number of updates over the following years, and would stay on the market until 1996 when the XK came along to relieve it. By Harry's reckoning, his early XJ-S was every bit as good as the Porsche 928 and other front-engined GTs of the era, and would have been more fondly remembered if it hadn't had to live in the shadow of the E-Type that came before. You'll want to watch the 17-minute video of the journey, undertaken for a cover story to appear in the September issue of Octane, to see for yourself. Related Video:
Jaguar releases C-X75 concept build story
Thu, 27 Jun 2013If you want to know what was going through the minds of decisionmakers at Jaguar when the company decided to build the batty C-X75 Concept, look no further than the quick video after the jump. Jaguar set about building a car with the performance of a Bugatti Veyron, the electric range of a Chevrolet Volt and the emissions of a Toyota Prius, and they turned to a legendary engineering firm to help make it happen. Williams, the same crew behind Williams F1, helped Jaguar stitch the concept car together, and the result is unlike anything we've seen before.
The twin-charged 1.6-liter four-cylinder mounted amidship is paired with an electric motor at each wheel for a combined output of over 850 horsepower. And, since the whole chassis is hewn from carbon fiber, a production version would've been light enough to give machines like the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari a run for their money. Shame they apparently couldn't make the business case work. Watch the concept build story in the video below for yourself.
