122,042 Miles. Clean Title. This 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas has had it's plastic factory secondary timing chain tensioners replaced at a cost of over thirteen hundred dollars. If you buy an XJ-8 or Vanden Plas with a manufacture date prior to September, 2001 and it has not had this modification you are buying a time bomb. Research this on the internet before you buy any Jaguar XJ-8 or Vanden Plas model year 2002 or prior. The Vanden Plas is the top of the line normally aspirated (non-turbo) Jaguar sedan. Some of the upgrades you get on a Vanden Plas include burl walnut trim inlaid with select Peruvian boxwood, fold-out walnut picnic tables mounted on the rear of the front seats and the 320-watt Alpine sound system as standard equipment. A Vanden Plas is not the same as an ordinary XJ-8 sedan. I urge you to research the differences and also the tensioners on the internet and then buy this car. It's the smart thing to do if you want to own a 2001 Jaguar sedan.  I am the 3rd owner and I bought the car from a close friend.  It has always been well maintained and it has not been troublesome at all.  It got a brand new battery last month and I had the headliner replaced because it was starting to droop a bit.  This is a car you can drive every day with total confidence.

Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.

Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).

Jaguar designs Tour de France racing bike [w/video]

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Jaguar is known for designing luxury sedans, and it's known for designing GTs. But once in a while it dabbles in a new area of transportation design. It's working on its first crossover at the moment, and even did a speedboat concept a couple of years ago. Now it's turned its attention to bicycles.
While many automakers have designed bikes in the past, Jaguar's project has a bit more of a direct correlation. It's been working with Team Sky - the outfit that has won the Tour de France two years running now - since 2010, furnishing the team with support vehicles for bicycle races around the world. But now it's stepping its collaboration up a notch by redesigning the team's bike.
Working with frame manufacturer Pinarello, Jaguar took the existing Dogma 65.1 racing bike design back to the drawing board. Jaguar's designers and engineers reshaped the frame tubes, seat post, front fork, derailleur and all the components attached to the frame, each part streamlined for aerodynamic efficiency. They ran it through Jaguar's Computational Fluid Dynamics processor 300 times then verified the results in the wind tunnel.
