1997 Jaguar Xk8 Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Upland, California, United States
Lots of pictures below This sexy XK8 is ready to drive away. It runs and drives great, and everything works. Under 83,000 miles. Body is excellent, interior is very good. Great color combination for a sports car, Arrest-Me (Carnival) Red with Cream interior. Chrome wheels are excellent. Kumho tires have less than 1000 miles on them. The suspension is very tight, no clinks, clanks, creaks, cracks, thunks or thuds when you hit a bump. Transmission is very smooth, as is the engine. No leaks. Timing chain tensioners were replaced in 2009 at about 67,000 miles, along with lots of other work. I have a receipt ($8500) that will go with the car. It has an aftermarket front grill. It looks great, but if you don't like it, it is held on by a few screws. It also has an aftermarket rear spoiler. I like it, but if you don't it is held on by double sided tape. Should be easy to remove. It comes with 2 keys, and 2 remotes. No manuals, but you can download them for free online. If you have any questions or would like to see pictures of anything I didn't include, just let me know. I can help with domestic or international shipping, at your expense, of course. The car is available for inspection, but by appointment. I'm not always around. Payment: If you want to take the car immediately, I require cash or wire transfer. If you want to wait for it to clear, I will take a cashier's check. The bank can hold a cashier's check for up to 10 business days. A $500 deposit is required within 48 hours after the end of the auction. You can use paypal. California residents must add 8% Sales Tax to the final purchase amount. Reserve is very reasonable for this car. Please don't ask me what it is. Let's just say it's way lower than the repair bill mentioned above. This car is sold AS-IS

Jaguar details new Ingenium four-cylinder engines [w/video]
Mon, 29 Sep 2014When Jaguar lifted the veil on its new XE sports sedan earlier this month, it only revealed details on one engine - that being the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the flagship XE S. But we already knew that the British automaker's new entry-level model will offer many other powertrain options, and now it has revealed a little more.
Jaguar has been developing a new family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines it calls Ingenium, which will be offered in a wide array of configurations and specifications. In advance of its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, the Leaping Cat marque has announced the specifications of the two diesel versions. The first will offer 161 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and some of the best environmental credentials on the market. There will also be a more potent version with 177 hp and 317 lb-ft, which Jaguar says is "one of the highest torque outputs in the class." Either way, both versions feature variable exhaust valve timing, cooled low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction technologies to help meet the stringent Euro 6 standards.
That's all well and fine, but considering that Jaguar doesn't offer diesels in North America, the chances of these oil-burners making their way Stateside seem slim. But if you watch the video below, you'll also find basic specs on their gasoline counterparts as well. Like the diesels, they're turbocharged and displace 2.0 liters, but in petrol form, they offer 197 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, or 236 hp and 250 lb-ft.
Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
