Check out the cheapest 4.2L XKR Convertible on the internet period!  I am helping my friend sell his car as he is moving back to New York and will have no need for a vehicle especially a convertible with winter coming!  I have had a chance to have the car in my possession for a couple of weeks now and have gone through it and this is a VERY solid car. 

My friend Bought the car in March of this year from the original owner in Alpharetta Georgia.  The car was purchased with 146,000 miles on it and was serviced for its ENTIRE life at Nalley Automotive - Jaguar.  I have over $13,000 worth of receipts dating back from when the car had 29k miles on it till when the car was purchased in march where it had another $700 dollar service done before it was sold.  The previous owner used the car almost exclusively for highway driving as he commuted a long distance to and from work every day.  Do not let the miles scare you the maintenance records alone show the care and money put into the long term maintenance of this car.

Body

The body is almost flawless which completely amazed me.  I could not find a single ding on the entire car and the back bumper (thanks parking sensors!) looks brand new!
The front bumper because of the highway driving does have rock chips on it as well as one small crack that looks to be easily repaired from behind.  If someone painted the current bumper or put a new front bumper on it the exterior of the car would really be almost perfect!

Interior

The interior is black leather with wood gran trim surrounding the dash.   It has the Alpine sound system with CD changer in the trunk.  From what I can tell everything works on the inside including the power retractable top.  It has the black leather Recaro seats in it.  They have no tears or rips in them and besides being a big dry are in good shape.  The back seats are in excellent condition.  It does have the factory navigation. When it is turned on it says something a bout the navigation CD.  I did not try and look into this but my friend said that when he did use the factory navigation it worked fine.

Drive train

After driving it the transmission seems perfect.  No slipping or issues that I am aware of.  I have not driven an XKR before this so I am not sure how they are supposed to feel but the transmission seems to shift fine.

I made sure to NOT clean the engine bay for the new owner.  This is exactly how the motor was given to me and I feel this is important to show how it is rather then trying to dress it up.  All fluids look clean and filled.  I recently checked all intake plumbing and vacuum hoses for leaks and besides tightening a few clamps found no issues as well.  I also hooked up my OBD 2 scanner to the car to check for engine codes (engine light was off) and there were no stored codes either.

Brakes and tires

The tires are the original equipment Pirelli PZERO tires.  Two of them were replaced in March and the other two were in excellent condition.  these are very expensive tires and they look to be almost new!

The brakes come with the large red calipers and slotted rotors.  I know the owner let me know the brake rotors need to be cleaned often to make sure they stopped properly.  The pads and fluid looks good but the brakes seem to not stop as fast as I thought they might. This could be perfectly normal as I am not used to driving a very fast heavy touring car.  There is no noise from the brakes and seem to be in good condition.

Only known Issues I have found

The Airbag light is on on the vehicle.  It blinks two times when the car is turned on and after some research it seems this is an indication of a one of the airbag sensors either on the back of the seat or the bottom of it.  The HAL sensor is known to go bad and this seems to be the issue.  I had the capacity to reset the code but I decided against this so the new owner knows of this small issue.  Because of the mechanic checking this out the back of the leather seats were un clipped to have access to this.  New clips are needed to put the small trim sides back on but since these will probably be taken off again to fix the issue I decided to leave it as is.  Besides this issue There are NO other lights on the dash, warning lights or any other issues that I can find.  This well maintained car looks to be in very solid condition and you can get a 90k dollar super car for a fraction of the cost!


Terms and Shipping.

I have no problem shipping the car anywhere in the continental USA for the new owner.  The new owner will pay for all shipping cost but I am familiar with doing this and will assist where I can.  A $500.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of the close of auction.  The remaining payment will need to be sent to me either through bank transfer or overnight cashier check.  The title will then be mailed with a copy of the owners front an back of his driver license.  I have 100% Ebay feedback and will make sure this transaction is VERY easy and quick to ensure everyone is happy!  If you are local and want to check the car out please message me to set up an appointment I have no problem showing the vehicle!

Jaguar F-Type SVR set to go topless

Wed, Aug 19 2015

Jaguar's sultry F-Type convertible will soon be getting sharper claws. We've captured the high-powered SVR variant during track testing, and these spy shots show huge air intakes and a prominent splitter up front. They're balanced at the rear with a massive spoiler and a central diffuser that breaks up the angled, jutting exhaust pipes. The cloth top is also evident, and it's presence has been expected. Previously, we spied the hardtop variant. This prototype looks ready for production, with the bodywork screwed down and the head- and taillights peering out. Even the black wheels with thin spokes wouldn't look out of place on the street. We also see the cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brakes. These massive stoppers will be required to slow down the 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which could make 600 horsepower. That blows by the 550-hp F-Type R and the limited production F-Type Project 7 (575 hp). The Project 7 can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, and we'd expect the SVR model to eclipse that figure. The F-Type SVR and its convertible sibling are part of Jaguar's strategy to remain to true to its sporting heritage – the company counts seven Le Mans victories – while adding vehicles like the F-Pace crossover and XE sedan to adapt to modern consumer preferences.

This Jaguar XK120 costs $20,000, but there's a catch

Fri, Feb 26 2016

You read that correctly. This Jaguar XK120 costs $20,000. Sounds like a steal, right? There's a catch. It's 1:5 scale. But if you're looking for perhaps the most bespoke riff on a Power Wheels ever, this could be your new toy. Offered by gift-specialist Hammacher Schlemmer, this diminutive Jag is faithful to the original with its swoopy appearance fronted by a narrow, vertical grille. There's a bit of a power drop, as this XK comes with a 110-cc four-stroke engine that can top out at 38 miles per hour. The 1949 model came with a 3,442-cc six-cylinder that made as much as 180 hp from the factory. This toy car has an aluminum hull, steel box chassis, wishbone suspension, and gas shocks, according to the listing. It rolls on 10-inch aluminum wheels and has hydraulic brakes with Brembo, yes Brembo, discs. The inside has padded leather and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The car shown is silver – but Hammacher Schlemmer notes that it's available in British Racing Green – or any color you like. Obviously you're not hurting for cash if you have 20 grand to drop on a toy, but it is economical compared to real-life 1949 XK120. The car collecting and insurance gurus at Hagerty say an original is worth $475,000 in concours condition. Hagerty notes this Jag is significant for its design that channels the prewar BMW 328. The starting price was $3,940 in the United States when it was new. Related Video:

Jaguar producing short film starring Damian Lewis from Homeland [w/video]

Fri, 30 Nov 2012

Jaguar is working up a short film to coincide with the US debut of the company's new F-Type. Desire will feature actor Damian Lewis in the lead role opposite Jordi Molla as the main villain in the story. The whole of the action will take place against the picturesque backdrop of the Chilean desert with filming starting early next month. According to Jaguar, the story will follow Lewis as he plays Clark, a man who delivers cars for living. Things get exciting when he crosses paths with a young woman played by Shannyn Sossamon.
With music by Lana Del Rey and some serious production value, Desire sounds keen to take its place among great automotive advertising short films like the BMW Driver series. Jaguar has released a quick teaser, which you can check out by heading over to the F-Type site. You may also take a peek at the full press release below for more information. Expect to see the film debut early next year.
