Up for sale is this Pristine 2001 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. This Jag is had only 49,000 miles and its probably one of the cleanest ones out there. The exterior of this high-line vehicle is finished in Metallic Blue and complimented with the camel leather interior. Unfortunately, this car was involved in a flood and its being sold with a salvage flood title from Pennsylvania. I am not sure why the insurance company decided to brand this car a flood car because I can see no sign of flood damage anywhere on this vehicle.I dont believe any water touched this vehicle at all. We had our mechanics check this vehicle from top to bottom and there is no damage at all from any flood. We believe the vehicle was branded a flood simply because of liability reasons. This vehicle is perfect from top to bottom. I have been driving the vehicle daily with my dealer plate and have had no isues with it at all. It is perfectly reliable.
This SC430 is in perfect mechanical condition and everything works the way it should, and I mean everything! Just watch my video and you will see for yourself! Every single light bulb lights up and every switch functions properly. Even the tire pressure sensors work the way they should. I have been driving this vehicle on and off and its a really nice driving vehicle. I put about 1000 miles on it and it runs 100% and gets about 24MPG! It turns heads where ever it goes and people are always asking me about it. This vehicle cost close to $70,000 when it was new! 
All the detailing on the car was done and its ready for its new owner. Nothing has to be done to this car! You can jump in this car and drive it 2,000 miles back home without any problems at all. The car has 49k on it, which is very low for a Jaguar, especially one this age. This car was maintained top notch and has always had its maintanence done. The oil changes are up to date and Mobil 1 was always used in this vehicle. This vehicle was also always dealer serviced.
This vehicle spent most of its life in the garage, so it was never subjected to a cold or wet climate. So, you know this car was maintaned the way it should and no expense was spared. This car just had its oil and tranny fluid serviced, has fairly new tires, good brakes, good rotors, and wiper blades. The tires are all matching Michellin tires with plenty of tread remaining.
This XK8 is loaded up with all the rare options. It has leather heated seats, upgraded Alpine sound system, rear parking sensors, power tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, CD changer in trunk with IPOD or AUX MP3 capabilities, alloy wheels, real burl wood trimming, full power convertible top, memory settings, automatic rain sensing wipers, motorized headlamp washers, fog lamps, and all the power accessories that you would expect from a Jag.
The car comes 2 keys and the remote key fob. We also have the original floor mats, the full size spare tire, and the complete tool kit in the trunk, along with the trunk mat.
The exterior of the car looks like a brand new car would. There is no scratches, dents, or any other damage to talk about. Its super super clean. The paint shines like glass, you can see your face in it. All the rubber and moldings are in nice shape with no dry rot on them and no leaks. The interior of the car is immaculate. The seats are is fantastic condition and show no wear at all. The wood trims and leather has held up amazingly and it is all intact. The carpets and other panels are all in great shape and all the mechanicals and electricals are 100%. Every single feature in this vehicle is working the way it should. There is no surprises or dissappointments with this vehicle. Its a 10 out of 10 all the way.
Before this vehicle was "flooded" it had a clean carfax with no accident history. I dont believe this vehicle was ever in any accidents and all the painwork seems to be original and perfect.
This car is being sold as-is, where-is, and there is no warranties expressed or implied. This vehicle has a salvage flood title from Pennsylvania. It is YOUR responsibility to find out the laws and regulations for titling this vehicle in your state. If you would like to see the car and test drive it, you are more than welcome to do so. Also, feel free to ask me about the buy-it-now price. If you are located outside my local area, I will assist in any way possible in having the car shipped to you at your cost. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within 24 hours on the auctions end. The remaining balance must be paid in full by 3 days after the closing of the auction unless other arrangements are discussed with me in advance. With that being said, feel free to email, call, or text me at anytime if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and good luck bidding!

Jaguar sets a lap record at a near-forgotten French race track

Tue, Sep 25 2018

If asked to name any race track in France, most racing and car enthusiasts would probably answer the Circuit de la Sarthe, known for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Then there's the famous Magny-Cours or Circuit Paul Ricard, but not everyone remembers the Circuit de Charade near Clermont-Ferrand. This challenging track has been called a "twistier and faster" version of the Nurburgring, and in its original five-mile form, it barely had any straights. Formula 1 races were held there in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but safety concerns saw the French Grand Prix moved to Paul Ricard for most of the 1970s and 1980s, alternating with Dijon-Prenois. Later on, the track was essentially halved during modernization work, and it's now largely used for track days. The full length circuit was last used in 1988. This history lesson about a seemingly forgotten French race track is due to one good reason: Jaguar has returned to the venue to set a lap time with a new, all-wheel drive XE. The flying lap of the full five-mile track was the first one in 30 years, and the 4-minute, 9-second lap time set by Belgian racing driver Vincent Radermecker now stands as a record. Due to changes and the fact that the track originally utilized parts of public roads, the lap now included two gateways and a roundabout. Unshockingly, those weren't around in its racing days. The comparisons with the Nurburgring are apt, as Radermecker's comment confirms. "I set the production (sedan) record at the Nurburgring in the XE SV Project 8 last year and this lap was every bit as demanding. The longest straight is barely 600 metres, so I can see why drivers used to call this the French Nurburgring." The Jaguar used for the record lap is an XE 300 Sport, which is powered by Jaguar's 300-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. It hits 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, and the average speed on the Charade lap was 72 mph. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future

Tue, Feb 18 2020

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Jaguar XJ-S

Mon, Dec 10 2018

The Jaguar XJ-S was big, powerful, swanky, and expensive, just the sort of luxury coupe a high-roller in the late 1970s craved. Unfortunately, these temperamental cars needed plenty of regular maintenance, and many of them suffered from neglect once they left the hands of their original owners. I see plenty of V12 Jaguars during my junkyard journeys, but it still gives me a twinge of sadness when I see another one parked among the ordinary Jettas and Grand Vitaras in the import-cars section of a big self-service wrecking yard. Here's a forlorn-looking, V8-swapped '77 in a San Francisco Bay Area yard. Chevrolet small-block V8 swaps were very common with the Jaguar XJs of the 1960s and 1970s, since an ordinary 350 would make power similar to that of the 326-cubic-inch V12 and parts obtainment was much easier. Still, swapping in a reliable-if-oil-leaky Detroit V8 didn't solve all the Jag's reliability woes: the Prince of Darkness retained a powerful grip on this car's soul. The patina on this car suggests decades spent forgotten in an outdoor storage area somewhere. There's a AAA map of California from the 1980s inside. This car listed for $20,250 when new. That's about $87,500 in inflation-adjusted 2018 dollars, but still $5,000 cheaper in 1977 dollars than a new Mercedes-Benz 450SLC (and a grand more expensive than a new Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham). Nobody in their right mind would have been willing to pay to restore this car, but we can hope that it provides some good parts to Jaguars that are still on the road.
