2003 Jaguar XK8 4.2 liter with six speed automatic transmission. I purchased this car from a Mercedes Dealership and I am the second owner. I only drove this car on weekends during the Spring, Summer and Fall storing it during the winter months. The car is in great shape in and out with only some minor fading on the convertible top in two small areas. The top itself is in great shape. The interior has no rips, tears or cracks. The real wood dash is in great shape and all accessories work as they should. The leather seats are in great shape with the leather being soft a subtle. (My Wife says its the most comfortable car she has ever driven in) The car sits on four Nexen Summer performance tires installed this past spring. There are only a few very very minor scuffs on the edges of some of the rims but nothing that you would not expect from a used car and you really have to look for these very minor flaws. The car runs great, shifts smooth with no issues.  The car has the factory windscreen which is a very nice option. This is a beautiful car.

If you are in the market for a Jaguar XK8 I will tell you some things that you should know.

The first generation of these cars up to model year 2002 were equipped with the 4.0 liter engine. This engine had some inherent internal engine flaws that needed attention. The timing chain guides were made from plastic and prone to premature failure resulting in blown engines. The repair was to change these guides with metal but this job is not covered by Jaguar and unless you are an experienced mechanic is very expensive. The thermostat was also made from plastic and again its an expensive fix and can be catastrophic if not done prior to failure.

In 2003 Jaguar replaced the 4.0 liter engine with the 4.2 liter and matted it with a better preforming six speed transmission. The 4.2 has none of the issues that the 4.0 had and this is what led me to purchase this 2003 model year.

I encourage all interested parties to come and see the car.

The car is being sold AS IS with no warranties.

The reserve has been set at a very reasonable price which was based on what recent listings have been bid up to regardless if these listings resulted in a sale.

Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to end the auction anytime for any reason.

Thanks for looking.

2013 Jaguar XFR-S

Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer?
"Is it fast?"
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.

2017 Jaguar XE 20d Quick Spin

Mon, May 4 2015

Base models rarely get their due in the press. Big-engine, high-horsepower variants get all the headlines, but the junior version is what sells in volume. We're just as guilty here at Autoblog, with both a first and second drive of the Jaguar XE in supercharged V6 guise, and barely a mention of the entry-level, 2.0-liter diesel. So, in Perd Hapley style, the Jaguar XE diesel is the model of the Jaguar XE we're going to discuss. Yes, the volume model of the Jaguar XE is a diesel, at least for now. A turbocharged 2.0-liter gas engine, wearing the 25t badge, will arrive after the XE's early 2016 on-sale date. Oil-burners and volume are not a thing in the United States, except for heavy-duty pickup trucks. Despite that apparent contradiction, the XE 20d could find some converts. Driving Notes The biggest clue to the engine's fuel source is the tachometer, which only counts to 6,000. But you wouldn't know from the fast throttle response or the way revs climb when you mash the accelerator. All 180 peak horsepower come at 4,000 rpm, and the 317 pound-feet of torque are available from 1750 to 2500 rpm. Really, this engine is smooth. Credit the low 15.1:1 compression ratio, which also helps make the engine's aluminum construction possible. The surge of power from the turbo builds steadily instead of kicking in all at once. Jaguar's engineers focused on friction reduction with a fanatical devotion, all in the name of efficiency. One key feature is the offset crankshaft. That is, the crankshaft is located to the side of the cylinder centerline. This reduces the side load forces during the firing cycle. In the manual transmission the gears are cupped to reduce mass. A pump sprays oil directly on the cogs, which cuts back on the total amount of fluid and cuts back on friction loss due to windage. No, the manual transmission isn't coming to the US. And yes, it's really good. Not just in the cliche journalist love for the diesel-manual combo, but objectively good. That smooth responsive nature of the engine is amplified when you get to choose your own gears. So we make due with the eight-speed automatic, the 8HP45 version of the ubiquious ZF box. The coolest trick here is a pendulum-style damper in the torque converter instead of a typical spring damper. When the torque converter is locked up this cuts down on torsional vibration between the engine and transmission. And that enables low-rpm cruising and higher mpg.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
