This is your chance to own a one of a kind Jaguar S-type V8. This car needs to have the timing chains and tensioners changed before it cant be driven. Included in this auction are all the genuine Jaguar Parts you will need to complete the job. EVERYTHING from gaskets to chains to bolts is included, if you dropped this car off at the dealership and they told you what all you needed you would have it here. All new gaskets even a new oil filter and antifreeze I bought everything. I bought all of these parts from my Jaguar dealership and they are authentic costing more that the Buy it Now price of this auction. I have had lots of things done to the car including a new transmission 2 years ago for $4,378.09. The car also has brand new shocks on it from where it was lowered. The lowering kit was H&R springs along with the new shocks. There is no wheel rub even with three people in the back seat. Fender sits about an inch off of front and rear fender wells. I also had a new thermostat and thermostat housing along with both breather houses replaced.  

The car was painted by a professional body shop not someone sitting in their garage with spray cans. The paint is SEM Hot Rod black. It is unique because it is flat black but it has a clear coat mixed in with the paint so your paint stays protected from the sun. It was painted about 3 years ago and pain is in great shape just the normal rock chips here and there. I replaced the upper and lower grills on the Jaguar to give it the look of a S-Type R. The grills are made of thick steel and not cheap mesh. The headlights have chrome rings around them that go with the grills. The leaper on the hood was also replaced to go along with the grills and headlights. The taillights are also tinted with NIGHTSHADES but can easily be removed if you do not like it. Car has 19" Baccarat rims all the way around with removable chrome pieces. I got a flat tire and the 4th rim is in the trunk but car has a full sized spare on it.

Car comes with just about every option you could get, sunroof, CATS system, Sport mode option, Navigation, Wood interior.

The interior of the car is in great shape minus the drivers seat which is showing some wear as you would expect from a car that is 14 years old. The windows are tinted fairly dark and you will need to check with local laws to see if they are legal in your area. The battery is located in the trunk of the car and was replaced about a year ago. You could not even buy all of the timing chain parts from jaguar for the buy it now price. Just so you know what kind of a deal you are getting here is a list of what the parts on the car and timing components cost me:

Transmission $4739

Thermostat and housing $300

Timing Parts $2800

Paint job $3100

Chrome Grilles $300

Shocks and lowering spring $800

Chrome Headlight Bezels $80

New Leaper $130

New Headliner $475

Tinted windows $130

Rims $1200

Thermostat and housing $300

HID Headlights and fog lights $200

That's $14,554 all the saving passed on to you.

This is a mechanics delight or someone else who is a bit more savy than me with cars. The certified Jaguar mechanic I had look at it said it can be swapped out in a day and ready to run but I do not have the time or money to fix it right now so I think it should go to someone else who would appreciate it. I am sad to sell is because it is my favorite of all my cars but I do not have a choice.

I have done my best to describe the car to you if you have any questions feel free to ask . I will help with shipping in any way possible. Good Luck and happy Bidding.

The best cars we drove this year

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.

Jaguar solution to keyless start could save lives

Mon, May 14 2018

UPDATED: An earlier version of this story indicated the Jaguar keyless start function was meant as a safety feature, when in fact, it is meant as a convenience one and will not work as described if automatic stop/start is not engaged. Today, The New York Times published an article about more than two dozen deaths related to drivers accidentally leaving their cars running, closing their garages and later succumbing to carbon monoxide that flooded their homes. The reason has been identified as "keyless start" features, or proximity entry and push-button start, where owners don't need to physically handle a key or fob to gain entry into the vehicle or start it. It is the latest, and deadliest, issue raised with this system after those related to security and simple inconvenience (for instance, leaving the car at a valet or car wash with the fob in your pocket). From my personal perspective, The New York Times had a rather harsh "evil carmakers" tone throughout the article. This is not a matter of a known faulty component, as with the GM ignition switch recall. This has as much to do with user error where people leave their car without pressing the "off" button and without noticing the engine is still running. About half of the cars in question are produced by Toyota and Lexus, brands that have offered keyless start longer than most. They are also brands with high rates of elderly owners, who seemingly made up a majority of reported deaths and injuries. One fire department in Florida even started a campaign alerting those in the area of the dangers of leaving your car running when it noticed a correlation between an increase in cars equipped with keyless start and calls related to carbon monoxide poisoning. I see several contributing issues at play, most of which go well beyond this particular issue. First is insufficient training of owners by dealers and/or owners not paying close enough attention during this training. Cars are complicated, but you should at least know how basic functions work. Second, woefully inadequate driver training in this country. Third, and with apologies to the AARP, insufficient testing of elderly drivers and/or insufficiently low standards for elderly drivers. If you don't know you have to shut the car off or cannot hear that an engine is running, perhaps you shouldn't be driving. Fourth, re-examining keyless start systems.
