I have a very unique Jaguar here up for auction. It is restored to a very high standard. On the body, the chrome bumper blades are new in the rear, the windscreen is new and the areas at the corners of the front and rear windscreens have been repaired properly and are rust-free. These places are trouble spots for the Series 3 sedan. If looking at other cars, always check there for paint bubbles! The entire car has been resprayed and looks great. The wheels are the "Pepperpot" alloys which are not common for cars sent to the US.

On the interior, the leather seats have been redone with Connelly hides as original. All of the walnut trim had been redone as well, along with the headliner. It is perfect. I've even upgraded the steering wheel with the sport wheel from an XJ-S.

Mechanically, the car is spot-on and well sorted. The engine actually came out of another Jaguar sedan that I had which had been imported from Europe. That car got wrecked and the engine went into this car. The head gaskets have been replaced about 5-6k miles ago as well as the crank bearings. This euro-version engine has a bit higher compression than the US version at 9:1. Makes it a bit peppier. The gearbox is an original Jaguar 5 speed Rover LT 77 'box. Very few cars sent to the US were so equipped. The 5 speed really makes the XJ sedan a different animal, especially when you can cruise down the highway at 70 mph, only turning 2300 rpm. This gearbox was rebuilt by a shop in CT which specializes in these transmissions.

On the underside, the suspension bushings, steering rack bushings, shocks and springs have all been replaced. Brakes are great as well. No surprises with my cars. Everything works as it should, except the cruise control. When I did the 5 speed conversion, I never got the cruise working again because I didn't use it anyway.

The climate control works perfectly with cold air and warm heat. And yes, I replaced the heater core when the interior was removed!

Bottom line is I've got WAY more in the car than it will ever be worth, but I'm a Jaguar enthusiast, JCNA member who does things right because I love the marque. Get a nice Series 3 Saloon for much less than you would spend on a lesser car getting it to anywhere close this condition. I have tons on other pictures showing the resto in progress. Any questions, please ask. The car is open for inspection anytime.

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
