I am selling my 99 Jaguar XJR. I have moved and no longer have a garage for it; I don't drive it as much as I used to either, so it's time for it to find a new home with someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. I am not the original owner, I bought it here on ebay a few years back. When I got it the odometer read just a bit over 129k miles, it now has over 139k miles. I have mostly used the car for weekend trips and pleasure driving. I still drive it now a couple of times a week to keep it running well and working correctly. It is a bit dirty in the pics as I took them after using it for a couple of days. It will be washed and cleaned in and out for the new owner. It is a car that I have loved driving and have put a lot of work into.
I bought this car because I wanted this exact model-an XJR in black with black leather and burled walnut interior trim. To me, it is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. I bought a car that I could afford, it wasn't in mint condition. I wanted a driver, and it's a great one. One year after buying it, a coolant hose failed, the engine overheated, and I had to face repairing or replacing the engine. I took the car to Rich Edwards at Velocity Motorsports in Nashville TN, a very good import mechanic who came recommended to me by some other Jaguar owners. Rich hunted and sourced a complete 1999 engine that came out of a rear ended car that had been a pampered 1 owner auto, and the car had only travelled 11,000 miles since new. We purchased the engine and shipped it up from Alabama to Nashville. We then improved it during installation by replacing the problematic stock cam chain tensioners with later ones made of steel (the originals were a hard plastic, which failed on many cars, causing catastrophic failures). All pumps, hoses, and belts were replaced at that time. The car ran out fantastic after that, I have only put 7000 miles on since then (3 years) and it continues to run right. At that time, Rich also installed new door handle mechanisms, as the back doors would stick shut; Problem solved the doors have worked just fine ever since.
I just have completed several maintainance jobs and updates in the last month or two, this car is ready for driving pleasure! These were expertly perfomed by the staff of Bell Buckle Motor Works here near my home.
Newly rebuilt ABS braking module
New Transmission module, solonoids
New battery
Transmission service
Coolant, oil (20w50 all synthetic),and filter changes
Brand new Goodyear S/A tires have less than 300 miles on them
New rear brake lines
It's a great car mechanically, but like any car this old, that has just been driven normally, it has some weak cosmetics and such. Nothing that detracts from the car's appeal much; It's an honest car, and a driver-so I have enjoyed it the way it is. If I hadn't moved to a place with no garage, and if I were driving it more-I'd fix all this stuff- but it's time for me to let the next fellow have a chance to enjoy the car, so I have priced it accordingly. Here's the issues I see.
Paint is original, and while it has a good color, it's needing paint work. The back bumper has some flaking, there are various small dings and such. Has some wear.
Interior-the headliner is hanging down a bit. I was just going to staple it up some, but I figured I had better not-the next owner may want to re-glue at an upholstery shop.
The wood is finished in real nitrocellulose lacquer, and it has some finish checks. I actually like these, as most vintage guitars and fine antique furniture will check over time. To me, it validates that these materials are the real deal.
The passenger sunvisor needs a new clip.
The rear window brake light needs glued back on to the glass. I may try some double sided tape for that.
The cigarette lighter does not work.
The driver's power seat occasionally blows a fuse and you can't move it around til you change it. Also the leather is good, except for the drivers seat, which has a crack and needs to be re-upholstered or replaced eventually.
The badges on the trunk lid need replaced, they are worn and chipped.
Someone snagged my original walnut shift knob-I put a black ash one on that I was able to find at a junk yard. It looks fine.
The cupholder springs are shot; These always do this. I always leave it open anyway, so no bother for my purposes.
I do not have the valet key. I never have, but valets have not had it to park since I have owned it.
Positive things about the car, the Stereo works and sounds great; the 6 CD changer in the trunk does the job and does not skip, electric antenna performs as it should, and the Harmon Kardon speakers are very nice sounding. The dash clock keeps time well.
A/C and climate control work as they should-so do the heated front seats. The sunroof works just fine, doesn't leak and seals nice and tight. All windows and locks work as they should.
Overall this car is very nice, and can be driven as is, no problem. It has lots of new parts and has had excellent care. I know what has gone into the car and will be glad to have anyone call and talk with me about it. Steering, brakes, engine, and transmission all work flawlessly, the car runs strong and straight; it handles and brakes the same way. With some cosmetic work it could be a stunner again (it is anyway, I get compliments from everyone on this car).
My name is Mark, I am proud of this old Jag, and I am selling it at a reasonable price. I have a clear title in hand. Please call me and I'll be glad to answer any questions. I have a job and kids, so calling will be best in the mornings, between 9 am and noon CST, when I am most free. The number is 615-613-3144. You can also message me here, that's fine as well. Thanks and good luck.

Jaguar crossover to be named F-Pace [w/video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Remember when the Apple iPad came out, and even reclusive Myanmar tribes were signing up for the Internet just so they could comment, "What kind of @#$%^ name is that?" But now, no one thinks "iPad" is unusual. Well, maybe the name of the new Jaguar crossover, F-Pace, will be like that. Maybe. We're told it was christened after worshipping at the altars of the F-Type and the company tagline, "Grace, Pace and Space" coined by founding father Sir William Lyons. The rest of it shouldn't give pause, though. Called a "performance crossover," the production version of the CX-17 concept will have five seats and be built on the firm's new aluminum-intensive platform. It's promised to have an "advanced suspension system" that incorporates both Jaguar's Instinctive All Wheel Drive and All Surface Progress Control tech, the latter being a low-speed cruise control for handling slippery surfaces, touted on the coming XE R-Sport model. Unfortunately, we've been told the production F-Pace won't actually get a Detroit Auto Show reveal, despite the video leading us to believe that will be the case. However, the CUV is well into development testing and will hit showrooms next year. So get ready. For the F-Pace. There's video above, you can click on the inset image to begin acquainting yourself with that name, and a press release below has a few more particulars. JAGUAR F-PACE: AN ALL-NEW PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER TO JOIN LINE-UP IN 2016 - Jaguar announces F-PACE – the production version of the breakthrough C-X17 concept car - A highly-efficient five-seat performance crossover underpinned by Jaguar's innovative aluminium-intensive architecture and advanced suspension system - All-weather and dynamic driving traction to be aided by the Instinctive All Wheel Drive® system and Jaguar's All Surface Progress Control technology* - The Jaguar F-PACE will deliver an unrivalled blend of style, performance and practicality (MAHWAH, NJ) – January 11, 2015 – Jaguar has today confirmed it will introduce an all-new model to the Jaguar line-up, to go on-sale in 2016, named the Jaguar F-PACE. Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, commented, "We received such an overwhelmingly positive response to the C-X17 concept car last year that we just had to make it a reality. "The Jaguar F-PACE, inspired by the F-TYPE, represents a perfectly judged balance of style, performance and practicality.
2016 Jaguar XJ sedan revealed
Mon, Jun 15 2015Jaguar has been steadily updating its sedan lineup, launching the entry-level XE and a new version of the mid-range XF – and now it's revealed an refreshed version of its flagship XJ. A facelifted version of the existing model (which was first launched in 2009 and arrived in the US in 2011), the 2016 Jaguar XJ benefits from a few key enhancements to keep it current. The principal visual updates revolve around the exterior lighting, which now includes full LED headlights, new daytime running lights and redesigned LED tail lights. There are new oval exhaust tips as well, but some of the most vital updates have been carried out inside. The refreshed interior includes a new InControl Touch Pro touchscreen infotainment system, with multi-touch control and backed up by a 60-gig solid-state hard drive. A new 17-speaker Meridian sound system comes standard, and the instrument cluster has been redesigned as well. The XJ also benefits from Jaguar's All-Surface Progress Control system and a raft of driver assistance features. Rear-drive models also get a new electric power-assisted steering rack and semi-automated parking system. Between engine options, drivetrain choices, wheelbase lengths, and trim levels, the updated XJ continues to offer an array of configurations – and Jaguar has worked to further differentiate them from one another. The base model carries the 340-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 and can be specified with rear- or all-wheel drive. There are regular and long wheelbase versions, and in R-Sport and Portfolio trim lines (the former now coming standard in the shorter car). Though the entire range is supercharged, the model designated as the XJ Supercharged packs a 470-hp version of the company's celebrated 5.0-liter force-fed V8, while the performance flagship XJR packs the same engine but with 550 hp (once again in either wheelbase) and now comes standard with the Black Pack. The 2016 Jaguar XJ is slated to reach US showrooms this fall. The updates will surely go a long way towards keeping Coventry's flagship sedan in the game for longer until an all-new model is ready. The question is whether these updates will be enough to keep the XJ competitive against the newer BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, and Maserati Quattroporte. Or for that matter with the Audi A8 that's just as old but was also recently refreshed, or the Lexus LS that's been around for longer with similar updates along the way.
Jaguar Land Rover output at two UK plants hit by chip shortage
Thu, Apr 22 2021LONDON — Output at two of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) British car factories will be temporarily halted from Monday, due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption, including a lack of semi-conductors, the firm said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors-owned company said. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up demand for semiconductor chips for use in electronics like computers, as people worked from home, and suppliers are struggling to adjust, hitting output at many automakers. Trade flows have also been affected. On Wednesday, carmaker Stellantis said it would replace digital speedometers with more old-fashioned analogue ones in one of its Peugeot models, as the fallout continues. Renault's finance chief said on Thursday that car production fell by tens of thousands of vehicles in the first quarter as a result of the shortage. Output at JLR's third British car factory in Solihull, central England, will continue, the company said. "We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimize the impact on customer orders wherever possible." Â
