Erie, Pennsylvania, United States

I never thought that I would be listing this car since it is my favorite of all the British iron that I have owned over the years. I have collected many items for the xke over the 20 years that I have owned it. I am getting too old now to complete it and can't find the time to work on it. I have all of the parts to put it back together. I have many new items like a black leather interior with new seat foam, carpet kit, panel kit, new amco soft top, and complete seal kit. I have replated or purchase new all of the chrome except for the main bumper bars. I had the 3 carb setup rebuilt but it has never been put back on. This car looks like a series 1 from the outside and a series 2 from the inside. I purchased it off the the 2nd owner. It has 43315 original miles. The floors and outer rockers were shot and they have been repaired with the correct factory panels. I also have a new exhaust system from the header back that came with the car, shocks, rear springs, bearings and many other smal parts to complete this restoration project. The original color is signal red exterior, and black for the interior. I have a very nice set of curly spline wheels and the original set too. The car has been off the road and in storage since 1977. The motor turns free the last time I checked. I have many small and hard to find parts that go with the car as well. It also has an aftermarket hardtop that is in very good condition. The body is solid and I used the best dupont primers and products when I started the restoration. I had the bonnet disassembled and dipped then epoxy primed. The trunk floor is also like new and the tank has been sealed and restored. I have a wilwood conversion for the front brakes with new rotors and new rotors for the rear. 1000 deposit in paypal and then the money has to clear in my bank before car goes. I have many more detailed pictures if needed. The car is barn stored 1 hour east of Erie, PA

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.

Land Rover planning SVX hardcore off-roaders

Sun, May 3 2015

The new Special Vehicle Operations division at Jaguar Land Rover has already given us an array of ultimate wheeled creations, but it isn't quite done yet. Next, according to Car and Driver, will be a new line of SVX models. Not to be confused with the Subaru coupe from the 1990s (which also had all-wheel drive, come to think of it), Land Rover's SVX models will be hardcore off-roaders. Details are few and far between at the moment, but they're said to take inspiration from rough-terrain events like the Dakar Rally and Camel Trophy as inspiration – different from the Ford F-150 Raptor that takes its cues from the Baja 1000. Last we heard, Land Rover was planning a hardcore Defender to send the model off to pasture in high-performance style, and considering an extreme Range Rover as well. If either of those rumors materialize, they look like they'd be prime candidates for the SVX line. JLR Special Vehicle Operations has already showcased what it can do with the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR, the luxed-up Range Rover SVAutobiography, the exclusive F-Type Project 7 and the continuation classic Lightweight E-Type. C/D confirms that further SVR models are in store to replace Jaguar's R-S performance models, while the SVX line would likely remain exclusive to Land Rover.
