Jaguar Xk 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Graham, Texas, United States
My wonderful XK150 Fixed Head Coup cared for and meticulously maintained this excellent driving machine for over 40 years. It was always garaged kept at his home in Oregon. I was fortunate enough to acquire it from him about a year and a half ago and planned on keeping it in my collection for many years to come. Due to health reasons I am forced to reduce my beloved car collection.This beautiful example of a classic Jaguar sports car could possibly be one of the finest drivers in the country. It is not a trailer queen! It had a cosmetic makeover more than 20 years ago and still shows very respectable. The body and chassis are solid with no sights of rust except the battery box pan which needs to be replaced. The chrome is in very good original condition and the leather interior only shows minor wear as can be expected. The mechanics on this beauty are in like new condition with almost perfect cylinder compression, no smoke from the exhaust even on start up, smooth shifting, overdrive engages perfectly, oil pressure is excellent even at idle, never overheats, and starts immediately with the touch of the starter button.I have spent over $7000 in repairs and maintenance to make sure this car is in top condition. This includes new batteries, complete brake system overhaul with new lines, pads, rebuilt wheel and master cylinder, all fluids changed, new oil pump, replace harmonic balancer, complete tune up, rebuild both SU carburetors, and replace overdrive solenoid and throttle switch.You will not be disappointed in this excellent example of a superb British sports car!

2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S [w/video]
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Withhold judgment on the world's greatest exhaust note until after you've heard the Jaguar F-Type V8 S (scroll down now for a sneak peek). Its cackle, boom and pop under deceleration will have you rifling through its glovebox looking for a tool to remove the stereo as an in-dash audio system.
Combining modern technology with age-old exhaust plumbing, Jaguar's British engineers have developed a way to propel spent combustion gases into the atmosphere in a manner that elevates the complete driving experience. At idle, it purrs. Under acceleration, it roars. During cruise, it soothes. Perhaps most compellingly, during deceleration, it titillates.
Thankfully, the newest two-place convertible from Jaguar isn't only defined by its mesmerizing soundtrack - the F-Type would be an impressive sports car even if the world went silent.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S is the power and the fury
Thu, 29 Nov 2012If there's something wrong about a sedan with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, we don't want to hear about it. Instead, we want to marvel at the car in person, which is fortuitous because Jaguar has officially unveiled the 2014 XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. That blown 5.0-liter V8 dishes up a full 502 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to shuttle the four-door to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds. And, thanks to a start stop system and a few other fuel-saving tricks, the 2014 XFR-S gets away without being hit by the gas guzzler tax.
That's all good news, but we're just as excited about the fact that engineers managed to crank up the vehicle's chassis stiffness by a ludicrous 30 percent. Stiffer dampers and springs also give the car a little more poise, and a wide-open exhaust lets the whole world know you're kicking down their door. You know, in case the electric blue paint and wild body work didn't tip your hand. Check out the full gallery above for a closer look.
Jaguar confirms 575-hp F-Type Project 7 for Goodwood debut
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Two 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.
