1997 Jaguar Xk8 Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Greensburg, Pennsylvania, United States
1997 Jaguar XK-8 Convertible. 85k original and easy miles. White with tan interior and tan top. 4.0 liter V8 with automatic transmission and all standard factory options (air, Harmon Kardon stereo, etc.) Adult owned, never abused, well maintained. I am the second owner. Probably the nicest one in the area. Multiple time show winner at the local British car shows in its class over the past years. Excellent condition, only a few very minor paint chips as one would expect on any car, nothing that detracts from it at all. Perfect Interior, seats show no wear, dash not split or cracked. Perfect matching wood. Front bumper is excellent, not all scratched up underneath like you see on many of these cars. Top works great, takes the factory standard 20 seconds to raise or lower in warm weather. Tires, brakes, etc. all good. Runs and shifts great. Factory alloy wheels, no aftermarket junk on the vehicle. All glass is perfect. Only selling to thin my collection a bit. Very nice cruising and show car with no issues. Clean Title and CarFax, you can check by typing the VIN in. All owners manuals, keys, and docs present. I replaced the timing chain tensioners when I purchased the car with the new design ones as preventative maintenance. If you do not know, the original tensioner design had a plastic case that became brittle with age and engine heat, leading to tensioner failure and the corresponding valves hitting the pistons, etc.. The new design tensioner is all metal to prevent this from happening. No Nikasil issues either, only good quality gas used in the car. If you are looking at another of these cars, ask the owner if they did the tensioners, or the dealer if they know the past history. Chances are they didn't or do not know what you are talking about… Please contact me with any questions on the vehicle. This car books thru NADA for between $7000 and $9600. I am not a dealer or car flipper, but the NADA book is what is most commonly used to price and appraise, so that is what I will go by. Honest price for a very nice car. A deposit of $500 must be paid within 24 hours of the close of the auction thru PayPal. The remaining balance must be paid within 3 days. Buyer is responsible for any applicable taxes to their locality. Delivery is the buyer's responsibility. Vehicle is sold as-is. I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is also offered locally for sale. |

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.
Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007
Thu, Oct 29 2015James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:
