Up for auction is my 2001 Jaguar XJR in a gorgeous metallic black w/ black leather interior. This is just a stunning example that runs, drives and looks incredible. Being a Jaguar sedan it has everything you need including sunroof, steering wheel radio/telephone controls, power seats/windows and ice cold air conditioning. And yes everything works including the center mounted analog clock! The supercharged V8 gives you incredible power and good gas mileage and is quiet and well mannered but gives you a melodious growl when you want it. This was an ex-limousine car so even though it has high miles at 176,000 (and counting, I still drive it) the maintenance on it was perfect and it shows and I have taken care of it since. This car gets looks everywhere as the 18 inch OEM wheels w/ low profile Michelin ZR tires really sets it apart from standard Jaguar XJs. The tires are near new and you wont need to replace them for a very long time. The body is beautiful with only the expected wear and tear, the passenger rear door has a slight ding (pictured, but not well as it is hard to photograph) that can be popped out by a professional. Interior is excellent and like new. This car has led a very pampered life. Dual exhaust sounds great, engine sounds great with no issues or warning lights (see tachometer picture and speedometer picture as these were taken when the car was running), transmission shifts smooth and properly, in all a truly great find. I have to clear out a couple cars as my driveway is getting way too crowded so regretfully the Jaguar is one that needs to go. The only thing I can say bad about this car is that the front wheel bearings will need to eventually be replaced but otherwise the car needs nothing. Fly in to Savannah and drive it home anywhere. I am sure I am forgetting something so please feel free to ask any questions. I can help with shipping but of course all charges are paid by the buyer. Thanks for looking and good luck! This is a true no reserve auction but the car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction should it sell.

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Jaguar XJ-S

Mon, Dec 10 2018

The Jaguar XJ-S was big, powerful, swanky, and expensive, just the sort of luxury coupe a high-roller in the late 1970s craved. Unfortunately, these temperamental cars needed plenty of regular maintenance, and many of them suffered from neglect once they left the hands of their original owners. I see plenty of V12 Jaguars during my junkyard journeys, but it still gives me a twinge of sadness when I see another one parked among the ordinary Jettas and Grand Vitaras in the import-cars section of a big self-service wrecking yard. Here's a forlorn-looking, V8-swapped '77 in a San Francisco Bay Area yard. Chevrolet small-block V8 swaps were very common with the Jaguar XJs of the 1960s and 1970s, since an ordinary 350 would make power similar to that of the 326-cubic-inch V12 and parts obtainment was much easier. Still, swapping in a reliable-if-oil-leaky Detroit V8 didn't solve all the Jag's reliability woes: the Prince of Darkness retained a powerful grip on this car's soul. The patina on this car suggests decades spent forgotten in an outdoor storage area somewhere. There's a AAA map of California from the 1980s inside. This car listed for $20,250 when new. That's about $87,500 in inflation-adjusted 2018 dollars, but still $5,000 cheaper in 1977 dollars than a new Mercedes-Benz 450SLC (and a grand more expensive than a new Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham). Nobody in their right mind would have been willing to pay to restore this car, but we can hope that it provides some good parts to Jaguars that are still on the road.

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...

Jaguar F-Type SVR leaks with more power, aggressive looks

Fri, Jan 22 2016

Jaguar's new F-Type SVR just leaked online, and according to the German brochure posted by Autovisie the new model in the range is a powerhouse with 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque (according to our conversions) from its 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Those figures give the SVR 25 hp and 14 lb-ft over the current all-wheel drive F-Type R. That's according to the brochure, anyway. US figures might vary slightly. The F-Type SVR is solely available with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and the powertrain can get the coupe to a top speed of 200 miles per hour or 194 mph for the convertible. Acceleration is also quite brisk with the run to 62 mph lasting just 3.7 seconds, which makes the new model even quicker than the Project 7's 3.8-second sprint to 60 mph. The SVR shows off its extra power through a more aggressive nose with larger intakes and slats behind the front wheels to pull cool air past the brakes. The rear also gets a wing and larger diffuser. The brochure lists optional carbon ceramic brakes that are 46 pounds lighter overall than traditional units. A titanium exhaust can also shed about 26 pounds and probably makes the supercharged V8 sound even fiercer. Spy shots have shown the SVR testing, but Jaguar hasn't said anything official about it. Still, this brochure looks legit. The document makes no mention of price, but you can expect a premium over the F-Type R's $104,595 (after $995 destination) for the coupe and $107,445 for the convertible. You can check out more photos of the SVR and download the full brochure from Autovisie. Related Video:
