This is an immaculate Jaguar XK8 that's been exceptionally well taken care of. Every option available on this rare
find except xenon and nav. Includes Motorola blue tooth hands-free & backup sensors. Color is Topaz (SEC) and looks
like "champagne", light beige top, and cashmere interior (SDZ). Michelin ZR-19-255/245-40's. I found this car in
"like-new"condition in Sarasota, FL, with 15K miles, traded in by the original (lady) owner for a brand new XK
model at the dealer. I've hand washed, waxed, garage-kept and maintained this car like new since. Of all of the
sports/foreign and performance cars I have owned, I have held on to this one the longest! This is by far the
sweetest ride, best looking, complete head-turner of all! I've had people walk up and make offers on it many times.
Classic Jag styling and looks on the 2006 are the last of it's kind making this an extremely rare find! Equipped
with an upgraded powerful 4.2 litre engine, this car loves the highway, rides like a dream! Or, take the top down
and buckle on the leather boot to cruise with an elegant open-air look and feel.
Exterior has BRAND NEW, OEM factory color flawless paint job ($7000.00), not a scratch on it and the even the rims
are perfect -it looks like it's sitting in the showroom!!!! Interior shows very minor wear on driver's seat. No
mechanical issues, and the only repairs since I have owned this beauty were a seal gasket, water hose, thermostat
and reservoir replaced. Otherwise just standard maint, synthetic oil changes, tires, brakes, shocks, struts and
wipers. Serviced at the same shop in Vero Beach, FL by my favorite mechanic, all service records available. The
carfax was a minor side-scrape from a lane change(my fault-so insurance claimed for both vehicles at $5K-2013),
replaced R mirror, RF quarter and door scratched-no body fill, and no other accidents or damage ever.
This car has been garage kept all of it's life and I have enjoyed driving it-my new office doesn't have covered
parking. Ask for more details and get a fine, well cared for and very rare, refined sports car lover's dream!
Faster than a Vette, and smoother than a Rolls! You'll love this car as much as I have!

Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt debut

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

In an effort to target higher-volume vehicle segments, Jaguar is getting ready to introduce its first-ever crossover, and Autoweek reports that we could see it debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We've heard in the past that the new Jaguar crossover could carry the name XQ, but the report also mentions that the Q-type name is still in the running (now wouldn't Audi just love that?).
A little more clear than the crossover's name, AW says the cargo-friendly Jaguar should ride on the same platform as the upcoming Jaguar XS compact sedan rather than using a Land Rover platform. As for the on-sale date, it still sounds like the XS will hit the roads first in 2015 with the crossover model due out in 2016.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.

Jaguar XJ facelift suggests that if it ain't broke...

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Jaguar is preparing what looks to be a very modest upgrade for its long-serving XJ, now heading into its fifth year in production. The fullsize luxury sedan's changes are so limited it seems like a stretch to even refer to these changes as a proper update. New front and rear lights represent the big changes, although the XJ's front grille looks to get a tiny bit of tweaking. Beyond that, though, we can't see too much changing for Jag's flagship luxury car. That said, there could be some tweaks below the sheetmetal and within the cabin that these images don't really show. Take a look at our gallery of spy photos, at the top of the page, and let us know what you think Jag is up to with this particular XJ.
