 Jaguar XJ12s of which there are very few (less than 60 made for the US) pop up on eBay once every 6 months or so.

This XJ12 will be for sale once and it is the best of all of them.

Last year of Jaguars infamous V12. Incredibly rare, you will never see another on the road.

This car has ABSOLUTELY NO - leaks, overheating, noises, rattles, tears, stains, wear. Period.

This is a show car, owned and operated by me for the last few years. I collect cars as a hobby and repair cars as a business owner. In fact this car is even on the sign for my auto repair facility, euautoworksmn

Every inch of this car has been inspected, thousands (9-10K to be fairly accurate) in receipts for parts (not counting labour) are pictured in the glove box. Everything and anything that may have been needed was done. This was my personal car and cost was no object as with any of my cars. I built this car to last forever and be endlessly reliable, thus nothing needs to be done.

The only modification I made is the addition of the Lattice wheels at a cost of $2300 or so, and a set of Pirelli P600s at 1K a set. The original 16" Vanden Plas wheels are on a pile with nearly new Michelins on them and are included if desired. Aside from the wheels this car needs no modification. Of all the cars I have owned this car is the closest any manufacturer has come to the perfect sport luxury sedan. Low, Lean, Long, Fast, and on a level all its own for looks.

I added on a set of ultra plush LLoyd floor mats $249 and had a professional tint the windows to 30% like all of my other cars.

The state you see the car in is the state in which I keep it every day, no quick detail and buff right before the pictures. If you look closely the whole car is covered in dust as I haven't driven it in a few weeks. And that is the problem, I don't drive enough to keep this car. They need to be used and I have to many cars to use them all... So all in all this car needs an owner that can enjoy it.

On a final note, this car impresses and honestly looks alot better in person than in pictures. The camera for some reason doesn't convey the low long stance as it looks in person. An absolutely stunning car from any angle or perspective.

Good luck bidding and please relay any questions to me before auction end


You have right to inspect the vehicle or have an inspection carried out at your expense before auction end, not after. If you have questions feel free to ask. If you cannot afford this car or for any other reason cannot smoothly perform this transaction please refrain from bidding. Once the auction is won you have entered a contract to purchase the car. Those are the eBay rules in a nutshell.

Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy

Sat, Sep 5 2015

Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.

Check out Harry Metcalfe's 1978 Jaguar XJ 5.3 V12 Coupe

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Jaguar may have built its business producing luxury sedans, but it also made some superb coupes over the years, from the XK120 through the E-Type, XJS and XJ220 to today's F-Type. The automaker has largely steered clear of turning its four-door models into two-doors, but there was a time when it did exactly that. And Harry Metcalfe, former editor of the British car magazine Evo, just happens to have one in his garage. Based on the Series II XJ sedan, the XJ Coupe was long and elegant – something along the lines of what you might see today in the form of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe, but smaller and built the better part of four decades ago. With only around 10,000 of them made, the pillar-less XJ-C was much rarer than the more iconic E-Type, and even fewer of them packed the 5.3-liter fuel-injected V12 engine. That makes the former Evo editor's ride a rather scarce one indeed, and well worth checking out in his latest video clip.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
