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 F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride
Sat, Jun 29 2019BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.
Jaguar riffs on Super Bowl ad with new F-Type Coupe web short
Thu, 03 Apr 2014Continuing the story of black hearts it began with its first Super Bowl commercial, Jaguar is roaring down the dark and oh-so-magnificently appealing road of villainy with a new spot featuring Tom Hiddleston. Using its new F-Type Coupe to demonstrate, the actor explains the salient features of the best - meaning, English - villains.
However, it's likely that even if you could manage the elegance, the tailored suit, the sharp wit and the distinct sound, you couldn't pull it all off nearly as well as Hiddleston. That doesn't mean you can't try, of course. Might we suggest starting with his excellent lesson in being properly villainous in the video below?
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
