Offered for sale is a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible

98987 Miles

This Jaguar is a great looking car with the paint in great condition. It seems to of always been an inside car as there is no sun damage to any of the paint, dash, convertible top, or leather. It runs and drives great with effortless amounts of power. The two front tires have wear and are nearing the end of their lives and causes some vibration. The interior is in great shape with no major rips or stains. There is some age related ware and a small split along a seem on the bottom of the drivers seat. please see photos. A set of real sheep skin seat covers is included with the car in this auction.

The convertible top is in excellent shape with no rips. the back glass window is also in good shape and the top doesn't leak when the car is washed! The power top moves quickly and quietly. All power windows and seats are functional. The radio has been upgraded to a CD player but the original is avalible in the truck. The Climate control operates as it should, the lcd screen can be hard to read at times depending on the temperature out side. The AC doesn't blow cold constantly. I have only had it come on once. There is NO check engine light and NO air bag lights on while the car is running. All the lights come on upon start up of the car and then go off just as they are intended to do.

Under the hood all fluids are full and appear to be the colors that they should be. I have also been told that the bakes are in good shape as they have lots of pad left. When you put the car in park there is a sensor that tells the computer it is in park. This sensor often is unable to tell and it makes a beep when you exit the car. The beeping stops in a few seconds. It does not cause any other issues as the car is in park, It just beeps to tell you that you may not be as you exit the car.

This car is titled in my name and holds a rebuilt Nevada title. I received this car as a form of payment from a client so my knowledge of the car is fairly limited. it lived in his garage for many years and he rarely drove it. I have driven it from California and around Vegas without any problems. It seems to be a great car and just needs a new owner. I am not an expert on cars so I hope i have described everything. I hope the photos speak for them selves. Please contact me with any additional questions.

PLEASE NOTE:

A bid is a commitment to buy, not a conditional offer. If you bid and win, the car is yours! Any non paying bidders will be turned over to E bay.

A $500 Deposit is required via money transfer or pay pal within 24 hours of auction close. NO exceptions.

Pick up is with in 1 week of action close. unless previously discussed. After one week there will a daily charge for storage and insurance.

I have described the car to the best of my abilities. However it is a used car. All inspection must be done prior to auction end.

Best of luck! She is a great car!

We drove to the Grand Tour Lapland taping in a British beater

Fri, Dec 23 2016

In October, it was revealed that the Great British Motoring Show That Is Not Top Gear was going to be filming an episode somewhere in Finland. I happen to be Finnish, which meant I immediately applied for audience tickets, and then waited for the phone to ring. It never did, but a friend of mine got two tickets of his own. By that time it was announced that the filming was going to take place "somewhere in Lapland", and more precisely hundreds of kilometers north from the Arctic Circle. Excellent! We knew just how to get there. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Last summer, we spent GBP1000 ($1230 as of the publishing date) on a running and driving, British Racing Green Daimler Six on eBay and drove it home to Finland the long way, via Scotland. (In America, this car is known as the Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas.) It was still a little bit road legal in early November, as we had attempted to get it through Finnish import inspection. It failed on the grounds of the rocker panel welds being a bit crusty, but the following one-month grace and repair period meant we could still drive it on temporary sticker plates. So, after buying a set of Nokian winter tires the previous week, we set off from Helsinki the day before the filming. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. There is nothing quite like driving the entire length of Finland in a right-hand-drive four-liter rebadged Jaguar in one day – still on British plates, albeit taped over. We clocked up over 1100km in the comfort of the leather interior, whisked away by the four-liter six's oomphy torque and ambient thrum; every now and then stopping for fuel, swapping drivers and wiping the headlights clean from accumulating highway muck. As we passed Rovaniemi and the Santa's Village, roads gradually got so slippery the Nokians really proved their worth. Reindeer flocked on the road, along with foxes and the single white rabbit (he did not have a pocket watch, as far as we could tell). It was not the lack of sleep doing us in, even if the hotel bed was sorely needed after finally reaching the village of Saariselka in deepest Lapland. After a celebratory beer while watching Finnish karaoke, of course. But the show! The next day we spotted the Fisker, the Boxster, and the Saab 900 driving back from taping the show's localized intro.

Jaguar XE spied flying over London

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
