I have for sale my 1997 Jaguar XK8. This vehicle has been in the family since 1999. I have a folder worth of receipts for this car. This car has a 4.0 V8 Engine, fully loaded with 6 cd changer, leather seats, wood grain dash, steering wheel, etc. If you are familiar with Jaguars then i dont need to explain the features.
Engine and Transmission: Car currently has 79862 miles and runs perfect. There are no knocks, ticks, smoking, pinging or anything that should not be there. Within the last few hundred miles I performed a lot of work on the car. I replaced eight (8) spark plugs, replaced eight (8) coil packs, replaced two (2) ignition modules, changed both valve cover gaskets, replaced intake filter, Amsoil 25w-50 Synthetic Oil Change, radiator flush, replaced the ABS Module, bled the entire brake system. Replaced speed sensors on the front wheels, along with an alignment. The car was always maintained and whatever services needed to be done were done. The jaguars are known to have dirty throttle bodys and this one was cleaned out. Exterior: As you can tell by the pictures, the jaguar is blue in color and in good shape for a 1997. The only flaw to the paint itself is on the top half of the passenger side door, the clear coat is starting to peel. The front bumper has a few spots where the clear is starting to peel (about the size of a quarter each). During Hurricane Sandy, a tree branch stuck the windshield and put a small rip in the convertible roughly 2 inches in length. I patched that up and replaced the windshield. I painted the hood, trim around convertable and passengerside fender due to the clear coat fading. The body has 2 small dings on the passengerside. Other than that the exterior is in good shape. Interior: Driverseat has a tear and some fading, the radio and climate control work but the display does not work. You can purchase replacements for under $200.00 on ebay. The steering wheel is swede is slightly faded and there is a small crack on the wood grain. I bled the convertible system and replaced the high pressure hose. Convertible works perfectly.The interior is clear except for the driver seat rip. The vehicle is a 1997 so some wear and tear is going to be present. Miscellaneous: -Vehicle has a new 1000 amp cold cranking amp battery (8 months old) -Vehicle has a new windshield -Vehicle has new wipers -The engine covers which sit over the spark plugs are secured in place with water proof silicone and some of the original tabs. Some of them broke off when I had the plugs and coils replaced. -The intake tube has a broken tab that connects to the throttle body so I used a nut with a larger washer to secure it down. Its been that was for roughly 10k miles with zero problems. Overall: Vehicle is a blast to drive and is fast! i'm an honest seller and want to disclose any known issues. I spend close to $4000.00 to get the vehicle mechanically sound. The car runs awesome! Since the mechanics and maintenance were done I wanted to focus on the interior but more important things came up in life and I need to put my money else where. Any questions please message me on eBay or call the number provided below. 201-913-5613 Call/Text. |

Jaguar pushes F-Pace toward Frankfurt debut [w/video]
Thu, Jul 30 2015Automakers regularly subject new vehicles they're developing to extreme climactic conditions to make sure they'll hold up no matter what the customer throws at it. We rarely get to see what those conditions entail, save for the odd batch of spy shots here and there. Jaguar, however, has given us a glimpse behind the proverbial curtain as it puts the finishing touches on the upcoming new F-Pace crossover. The British automaker reports that it's put the F-Pace through its paces in temperatures ranging from as low as 40 degrees below zero (on either scale – that's where they meet) to 50 degrees Celsius above (122 Fahrenheit). Those are some punishing conditions, achieved in the dead of winter in Northern Sweden and at the height of summer in the searing deserts of Dubai, where cabin temperatures inside a vehicle left in the sun can top 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The former is where Jaguar Land Rover maintains a dedicated arctic test facility in Arjeplog, with over 37 miles of test tracks carved out of the ice, snow, and mountains. Jaguar even threw gravel mountain passes into the test regime for the first time, because while it may be geared more toward on-road use than its Land Rover counterparts, people still expect their crossover to be sure-footed in a variety of conditions. Jaguar has now confirmed that the production F-Pace will make its bit debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. That's the same venue where the C-X17 concept that previewed the F-Pace's arrival was first showcased the last time the show came to town two years ago. And while the company recently signed a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr to build an undisclosed model line in Austria, JLR confirms that the F-Pace will be built in the UK at the Solihull plant that already handles production of the Land Rover Discovery/LR4, Defender, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Jaguar XE.

This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
