2000 Jaguar Xj8 Vanden Plas on 2040-cars
Yorktown Heights, New York, United States
More details at: ulrikewinnen@juno.com .
Well preserved 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas Sedan. This beautiful 2000 Jaguar Vanden
Plas saloon may well be the newest example of this model on the road. It has only 8,700 miles. The car has never
been damaged, never had paintwork. The engine compartment is immaculate. The back seat appears to be unused and there is no
evidence of wear on the front seats. This was originally a Canadian market Jaguar, so the speedometer is in KM/H as
well as MPH, and the odometer reads 14,000 kilometers. The Canadian car differs from a US car by the speedometer,
and by having headlight washers. The Vanden Plas is the most luxurious XJ model of its time and is fitted with
every luxury feature as standard. Notice also the folding picnic tables to the rear and as-new mouton rugs in each
footwell. Featured in Topaz Metallic with Parchment leather, this Jaguar is in showroom condition. The 5.0L 290HP
V8 engine and 5-speed OD automatic gearbox deliver sparkling performance. This car is truly unrepeatable.

Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
Lapping Le Mans with 1956's version of a dash cam
Wed, 01 May 2013Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.
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.
