I bought this vehicle in 2001 becoming the #3 owner. It had 29167 miles at that time and now 13 years later has 41085 miles as shown on the odometer. Jaguar classified this as a luxury touring vehicle. It is all of that. In 1990 it came equipped with a glass rear window, heated seats with lumbar control, telephone and all leather interior. All options that were unusual for that vintage. I drove the vehicle from Idaho to Michigan in December 2004 where it was put in storage with a soft cover. I got 18 mpg on that trip. From that time on I only take it out for it's yearly trip around the block and back in storage. Any items I recognize as faulty get immediate attention from my local mechanic as the service records indicate. I noticed the hood struts are weak from the lack of use. I was able to get them to hold after some exercise. I have always been very protective of this car as only an obsessive old can be. It has never been parked in the sun with the top down, reluctantly seldom driven in the rain and only one time in the snow when I brought it to Michigan. The car still has the original Parelli tires and comes with 4 new all season tires which I bought to make the cross country trip. The car has a top boot and tool kit in the trunk and also included is the soft cover. As you all know by now this car is being sold in "AS IS" condition. I have done my best to represent any problems noticed.

Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe

Sun, 10 Nov 2013

Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.

2016 Jaguar F-Type prowls the floor with new manual and AWD options

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The Jaguar F-Type has become an instant enthusiast favorite for its alluring design, powerful, sonorous engines and rewarding handling. In short, it's a worthy successor to the iconic mid-century E-Type. But Jaguar hasn't been sitting idly, and it's continuing to refine and enhance the F-Type with subtle yet significant enhancements, including a bunch that are debuting this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2016 model year brings with it all-wheel drive, which will be standard on 550-horsepower F-Type R models. AWD will be optional on mid-level F-Type S models, which run the 380-hp V6. The system sends all of the supercharged engine's torque to the rear axle in default mode, but it can also be split with up to 50 percent going to the front axle when needed. Jaguar has even added subtle visual differentiators to the the AWD models, fitting them with body-colored sills and a new hood design. The penalty? the AWD system adds about 176 pounds to the curb weight. The F-Type also gets an available six-speed manual transmission for 2016 on V6 variants with rear-wheel drive. While obviously adding a more interactive driving character, the close-ratio manual is about 22 pounds lighter than the automatic gearbox. Jaguar has also given all F-Type models electric power steering, using a stiffer steering shaft to maintain the hydraulic setup's connected feel with the road. The 2016 models will be available in the spring, and pricing will be announced closer to launch. 2016 F-TYPE Gains All Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission Options – The 2016 model year Jaguar F-TYPE sports car receives new powertrain and driveline options Â– A six-speed manual transmission option will be available in rear-wheel drive V6 models Â– Instinctive All Wheel DriveÂ® (AWD) extends the performance and dynamic capability of the F-TYPE Â– The 550hp F-TYPE R is now available in both Coupe or Convertible Â– All F-Type R models receive AWD as standard equipment, enabling 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
