It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing a 24K mile 1996 Mercedes AMG C36, a 17K mile1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible, a 1968 and 1972 Olds 442 Coupes, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any aution early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.

When the new XK8 made an appearance for the 1997 model year, I thought the coupe was the most beautiful car Jaguar had built since the original XKE. I still feel that way. This particular car has a very low production exterior color that I have been told was one of thirty built late in the model year. I have never seen another one like it, and I get comments any time I take it out. Her lines are classic, and I believe she will still look fantastic twenty years from now.  It is with great regret that I offer her for sale, and believe the next owner will be more than impressed when they first see her. This is a true case of a picture not doing justice to the real thing. While I don't have the original window sticker, I know this car listed for around $70K when new.

The body is almost perfect, with no paint work. There are perhaps five very minor paint chip/nicks throughout the entire car, and the metallic paint has a deep shine. This color is much lighter than the usual Racing Green, and has a lot of blue highlights that are apparent under certain lighting conditions. The engine compartment is extremely clean, the trunk looks unused, and the leather interior and wood is beautiful. There is a small stress crack in the glove box lid that keeps me from calling the interior perfect. I have replaced the original carpeted mats with cocoa mats because the rubber backing was beginning to deteriorate, but have saved them for the next owner. The factory chrome Revolver wheels are absolutely brand new in appearance, and the Dunlop tires have less than 1000 miles on them. The original full size tire is in the boot, and the halogen headlights are clear.

I have performed all needed maintenance items in the last year, including replacement of the entire thermostat housing and window regulators (common problems on this car). All fluids have been replaced, and the A/C system recharged. All options work perfectly, including the 6 disc CD changer. The sound system is wonderful. I believe she could be driven anywhere without worries. Please excuse my long winded description for this ad, but this one is hard for me to turn loose. You won't be disappointed...

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy: New EV, new series — Jaguar's going racing

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Luxury carmaker Jaguar is teasing the 2018 launch of a five-seat electric sports car based on its I-Pace concept as its first battery-electric vehicle. The Indian-owned automaker released images of the sports car as part of its announcement that it will launch the world's first international production EV race series in 2018. A performance SUV version of the I-Pace, previously reported and presumably based on a concept revealed late last year, is also planned for late 2018. Jaguar has said it plans to electrify all new models after 2020, part of a wave of similar announcements as governments in England, China and elsewhere have announced plans to eventually ban the sale of gasoline or diesel cars. In its announcement, Jaguar said only that the race series would "support the launch" of the I-Pace five-seater. View 7 Photos At the Los Angeles auto show last year, Jaguar said its concept I-Pace crossover SUV would have a 220-mile range from its 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, designed and engineered entirely in-house. The Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy series is a support series for the FIA Formula E championship and will exclusively feature up to 20 all-electric Jaguar I-Pace racecars across 10 races in cities including Hong Kong, Paris, Sao Paolo and New York. The racecars will be built at the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations in Warwickshire, England. "With the launch of the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, we have strengthened our commitment to battery electric vehicles, international motorsport and Formula E," Gerd Mauser, chairman of Jaguar Racing, said in a statement. "As a British team, we are proud to announce today the launch of the world's first production battery electric vehicle championship." He added: "Ultimately this innovative series will enhance the technology in our future electric vehicles and benefit our customers." Jaguar says it will release technical specifications, race calendar and costs for the I-Pace eTrophy in 2018.

The story behind Bridgestone's new tires for the rare and beautiful Jaguar XJ220

Wed, Jun 7 2017

The Jaguar XJ220 is a beautiful, fast, and arguably under appreciated supercar from the early 1990s. While contemporaries like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959 garner more than $1 million at auctions, the XJ220 might pull in half that. Maintaining an older car requires work, a task made more difficult when parts aren't available. Last year, Bridgestone announced it was producing new tires specifically for XJ220s. The Japanese tire supplier has released a 42-minute video documenting the process. There were only 275 XJ220s ever built, fewer than both the F40 and 959. Until recently, no supplier made four same-spec tires that would fit the XJ220. Early Dodge Viper owners suffer from the same problem. Thanks to both Bridgestone and Pirelli, owners now have two options to choose from. Bridgestone worked with Don Law Racing, the go-to shop for all things XJ220, when developing the right tire for the car. It isn't simply a reproduction of an older-spec tire. Bridgestone tested a number of new compounds. With so few cars available, from the beginning this was going to be a money-losing prospect for the tire maker. Enthusiasts within the organization fought hard to get everything approved. Watch the full video to hear how much time and effort went into the project.
