Offered at auction, is this beautiful and luxurious 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas with the powerful but smooth 300 horsepower XJ V8 engine. It is the 'Top of the Line' model in the Jaguar XJ8 Series. This vehicle is in pristine condition both interior and exterior. In addition a transferable extended warranty with one year remaining is included. (This has a pro-rated premium value of around $1,000 and a nominal $50 transfer fee is required). It has a clean and current CARFAX. The color combination is just gorgeous: Quartz Gray Metallic exterior with Dove Gray Leather interior and rich Burl Walnut Wood Trim. The Navigation System firmware/software DVD has been replaced and updated to the 2012 version.

I am in my mid-seventies and no longer drive my cars frequently, hence the relatively low mileage and superb condition of this vehicle which during my ownership has been regularly serviced. (Those service records will be passed on to the new owner). It has always been garaged and by all appearances, has never been smoked in. The original retail price of this car was over $69,000.

Watch a Jaguar F-Type R drag a parachute at 186 mph

Mon, Jun 15 2015

With carbon-ceramic brakes on offer, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe can shed off speed even faster than it can rack it up. Even the standard steel rotors do a pretty good job of it. But what would happen if you deployed a parachute out the back of the Jag at 186 miles per hour, like you might with a drag racer? That's what the British automaker has found out in this latest video. And just why would they do such a thing, you ask? Because Bloodhound, that's why. Jaguar is providing technical support to the Bloodhound SSC land speed record attempt, and one of the roles into which the F-Type has been pressed is to check the parachute that will (along with the air brakes and rotors) form an integral part of the jet- and rocket-powered vehicle's run. To make sure the chute would do its job, the team put Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green behind the wheel of the specially equipped F-Type at the RAF air base in Bentwaters, Suffolk, UK, had him speed down the runway up to the car's top speed and deploy the chute. Fortunately, as you can see from the minute-long clip, everything seemed to have gone according to plan – though we're not sure about the logic behind the assertion that if "it worked at 180, it will definitely work at a thousand miles an hour."

The jet and rocket powered car, which aims to surpass the current record of 763.035mph before targeting 1000mph, has multiple braking systems including air-brakes ('doors' mounted on the side of the car which open to increase aerodynamic drag) and disc brakes (used when slowing down from 200mph).

Jaguar hints at what might become of XK after F-Type's arrival

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

Jaguar may move the company's XK further upmarket following the introduction of its forthcoming F-Type. The newcomer to the range easily shoulders the burden of carrying the Jaguar sportscar mantle, freeing up the XK to evolve in another direction. While speaking with Autocar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said there's an opportunity to grow the grand tourer both in size and luxury.
Whether that means the vehicle will retain its two-plus-two seating configuration or swell to offer buyers even more space remains to be seen. Either way, the future will likely see the XK soften its claws moving forward. And that's no bad thing. Jaguar has a long history of building luxurious grand tourers more content to soak up miles of highway than bounce from apex to apex.
What else is in store for the brand? Callum seems to have kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to acknowledge ongoing rumors of a Jaguar crossover beyond saying the brand "had to take notice" of the popularity of the luxury SUV market.
