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...

2016 Jaguar F-Type R at Monticello | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 27 2016

This week we indulged in a bit of fun. We took one of our favorite sports cars, the 2016 Jaguar F-Type to Monticello Motor Club north of New York. Senior Editor Greg Migliore selected the 550-horsepower R variant and pushed this Jag to the limit at one of North America's prettiest tracks. He reveled in the supercharged V8's power and sound as he embraced Monticello's curves and long straightaways. Meanwhile, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski had a similar experience. Kind of. He lapped Monticello in the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR and then went off-roading at a challenging course nearby. It's the best of both worlds. He gets to soak in the blown V8 – but also gets to splatter a little mud. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too! Jaguar Land Rover Driving Off-Road Vehicles Videos VR Original Video virtual reality 360video

Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar

Fri, 10 May 2013

Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
