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 Land Rover planning to allow owners to earn cryptocurrency
Mon, Apr 29 2019Jaguar Land Rover, Britain's largest auto manufacturer, said on Monday it is testing software that will allow drivers of its cars to earn the IOTA cryptocurrency as a reward for sharing data. The company is developing what it calls "smart wallet" technology to be installed in its automobiles. This would reward Jaguar car drivers with IOTA coins for actions such as enabling their vehicles to automatically report useful data, such as traffic congestion or potholes to navigation providers or local authorities. Drivers could also earn rewards if the car participates in a ride-sharing program, Jaguar said. The tokens earned could be used to pay for tolls, parking and charging for electric cars. The overall goal was to "achieve zero emissions, zero accidents, and zero congestion," the company said. Global car companies are exploring blockchain applications, figuring out different ways in which they can leverage the technology to suit their different needs. Blockchain, the system powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is a shared database that is maintained by a network of computers connected to the internet. The British car company is testing the technology at the new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering base in Shannon, Ireland, where engineers have already equipped several vehicles, including the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover Velar, with "smart wallet" features, the company said. It does not yet have a timetable for when it will be commercially available, said Jaguar, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The IOTA token is based on a distributed ledger technology that enables people and machines to transfer money and data without any transaction fees. IOTA trades on digital asset exchanges and was last at 27 U.S. cents per token. "The smart wallet technology ... can be easily adapted into all new vehicles," Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder and co-chairman of its board, told Reuters on Friday. "IOTA wants to enable interoperability with all these different players. So there is no Jaguar coin, no BMW coin, but one universal token for this machine economy," he added.
Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]
Mon, Jan 5 2015A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.

Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."
