2000 Jaguar Xjr, Supercharged 370 Hp V-8, Upgraded Tensioners, Tons Of New Parts on 2040-cars
Lansdale, Pennsylvania, United States

2000 Jaguar XJR 4.0L Supercharged V-8, 370 hp/387 lb.-ft. torque, 0-60 ~5 sec., top speed (electronically limited) 155 mph. This (when new) $70,000 car was the fastest regular production sedan in the world for a couple years until is was eventually dethroned by BMW's M5, but even by contemporary standards hold up quite nicely in the performance department and is by all measure still a luxury rocket. This is a truly special automobile that must be driven and experienced to be appreciated. If you don't already, sliding in behind the wheel and standing on the accelerator will make you feel like a King. I used to have a Porsche 993 Carrera, and this is at least as quick. Unlike most XJRs you will find, I have spent a great deal of money (@$3,500 in the last 18 months) in repairs, upgrades and maintenance. I have all the receipts. This car has no check engine or warning lights. The most important work was the most recent repair which was the upgrade from the Mk II (marginally better than Mk I) series tensioners, to the robust, all-metal tensioners. This was nearly $2k alone and has about 50 miles since this was done. Before that numerous beneath-the-supercharger sensors were replaced, as well as all new ceramic brakes and new cross-drilled, slotted rotors (in the front), and a rebuilt ABS control module with a lifetime warranty. Essentially, during my ownership, this car was my baby. Whatever it needed, it received, and I gave it the best that was available, including service by expertly trained mechanics. I only ever used Castrol fully synthetic oil. The engine runs very strong, and the transmission is the terrific Mercedes-Benz-sourced (as used in their V-8 AMG cars), robustly constructed (essentially bulletproof) 5-speed automatic with J-Gate "Randle Handle" shifter. The car is the most beautiful color available (in my opinion), Carnival Red with Oatmeal Connolly Leather interior. Obviously, it has variable ratio power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, power windows, with driver express down, power central locking system with remote entry, automatic climate control (including rear heat & a/c), power tilt/sliding sunroof, dual power heated seats (10-way driver w/ dual memory, and I believe 8-way passenger), rear heated seats, power mirrors, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power trunk release, AM/FM Stereo Cassette w/ 6-disc CD changer in trunk & GPS Navigation system, satellite radio antenna wired in, 18" alloy wheels with very good matching tires, traction control, and I have the original factory owners manuals, folder, Nav CD-ROM, original spare, jack, tools and two keys. I can't even think of what else to put at this time. Basically, aside from a few minor flaws, as mentioned in the details section, this is a car that needs nothing. Fly in, drive home. It is a beautiful, impressive car at a stupid-low give away price. The only reason I am selling it is because I originally wanted an XK8/R (convertible) and my wife opined for a sedan, that she subsequently decided she doesn't like to drive so we bought another car that we both like to drive, and I have a host of other cars as well, so something has to go. It has been garaged through my entire ownership and not to be overlooked was a Florida car its whole life until last year when we moved to PA. So the undercarriage is clean and rust-free. It has never seen salt/snow etc. One final detail: I do have a loan on this car, so that will need to be paid off. I have done this before, don't fret it is a piece of cake. I will have bank confirmation for you that they will send you the title. If you are looking for an XJR, this is one of the cheapest ones in the country. And it is NOT a project car, nor is it the '97-9 problematic money eaters. Live life, buy this car, have no regrets! |

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 takes the D-Type to the 21st Century
Sat, 16 Aug 2014One of the many big name debuts during the 2014 Monterey car week is this, the Jaguar F-Type Project 7, a stunning roadster inspired by Jaguar's legendary, finned D-Type sports car.
The Project 7 expands on the already appealing F-Type Convertible formula, further boosting the Jaguar Land Rover 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 to its most potent form yet - 575 horsepower - making this the most powerful production Jag in history. So equipped, the Project 7 is more cheetah than jaguar, roaring to 60 miles per hour in a rapid 3.8 seconds before reaching its electronically limited peak speed of 186 miles per hour.
Prices for the F-Type Project 7 start at $165,000, with customer deliveries slated begin in spring of 2015.
Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise
Wed, Aug 9 2023No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
