 I bought this car for my birthday last year, just to have a summer fun car. The previous owner had just spent $2600 on getting new timing chain and tensioner from the Jaguar dealership. The cars runs and drives great, it a wonderful highway cars. I put a new set or tires on this car less then 1000 miles ago, I also just had a new soft top installed and it looks great.

The negatives about this car, it got some hail damage last year, and the clear coat is peeling all over the car and a cracked windshield. Mechanical the only issues is a ABS light comes on from time to time. If you Google this problem you will see its very common on these XK8 and there is a cheap fix. You have to take out the ABS Module and resolder one connection, it takes a couple of hours to do this repair and doesn't cost anything. I haven't got around to doing it because the light does not come on every time and it doesn't effect how the car runs or drives.

This is a fun car, it's awesome dropping the top and letting the wind blow through your hair. I've owned about 10 Convertibles and enjoy all of them. 

This car started off life as a California car, new it was over $70,000. NADA says this car should sell for over $7800 for a average condition car, This car has a brand new set of tires and a brand new top. Since it has some hail dents and clear coat peeling I will put a very fair price on this car of just $5500.00

I sell cars on ebay for a living, so I can help with some cheap shipping. This was not one of the dealership cars it has been my personal car for the last 1.5 years. If you will call or text me at 620-664-3011 with your zip code I will give you a idea on shipping. I do have 3 sets of keys and remotes for this car and a free and clear title in hand.

Jaguar confirms 575-hp F-Type Project 7 for Goodwood debut

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Two days ago, Jaguar announced it had something special in store for the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. Then yesterday images of that special creation, the F-Type Project 7, leaked out. And now, as promised, Coventry has released the full details on the ultimate F-Type to date. And its even better than we expected.
The production version of the concept revealed last year, the F-Type Project 7 celebrates the 60th anniversary of the D-Type by borrowing some of that legendary roadster's design cues, right down to the rear fin and British Racing Green livery with white racing stripes.
Of course the Project 7 is more than just a retro appearance package. The bespoke speedster packs a version of Jaguar's prolific 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 575 horsepower - 25 more than the F-Type R Coupe - to make it the Leaping Cat marque's most powerful production car to date. Mated to Coventry's familiar eight-speed automatic transmission, that's said to be enough to propel the Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds en route to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour. Keeping all that power and pace in check and on the road are such features as carbon ceramic brakes, a full complement of carbon-fiber aero components, electronic differential and brake-based torque vectoring system.

Xcar experiences the 2015 Mille Miglia from a Jaguar C-Type

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Xcar Films has returned to the Mille Miglia this year for another trip from Brescia to Rome and back. However, unlike the last survey of the historic rally from the comfy seat of a Jaguar F-Type, it did things properly in 2015 with a first-person look at the entire event from a somewhat temperamental Jaguar C-Type. As you'd expect, you get to check out 1,000 miles of beautiful Italian roads and similarly gorgeous vintage sports cars, but the reporting here is great, too. Alex Goy alternates between navigating and learning to drive the C-Type with its tricky gearbox over the four-day rally, and he narrates the entire video, as well. From what we can tell, participating in the Mille Miglia is essentially a license to break every law of the road imaginable. The police not only allow this to happen; they encourage it. Goy does a fantastic job of giving viewers an idea of what's it like to take part in the historic event. Being in a 50-year-old racecar for that long looks absolutely exhausting but also completely worth it.
