This is an inexpensive way to have a fun car.  I bought it in 2010 for just that reason. 

The exterior looks decent, not perfect (shiney on the sides, a little dull on the top surfaces), but very little rust.  The car originally came from Palm Springs, CA.  and has only been driven in the summer and stored in the winter since living in Michigan.

The leather interior is in good condition.  The front seats are clean and free of tears, the rear is coming unstiched, but the leather is in good condition.  The side trim looks good.  The dash pad is cracked in two places but still looks ok.  The wood trim on the dash is covered with a carbon fiber-look overlay.  The carpet is out of the car so you can see the floor but is still in good condition.  the headliner is in good condition as is the glass in the car.

The wheels are Weld Stars, from the 1990's, very unique.  Good rubber.  The original brakes stop the car fine. The original suspension is in good working order.                       

The Chevy 305 with tuned port injection came from a 1985 Camaro IROC and was installed using a kit from John's Cars, Dallas, TX.  I have no idea how many miles it has on it.  It puffs a little oil on start up so it probablly needs valve stem seals but still runs strong and sounds good.  The GM 700R4 trans shifts smooth through the original Jag shifter and makes this car an economical highway cruiser. 

The exhaust flows through stock mufflers minus the rear resonators which have been replaced with some 3" stainless tips.  Much better than the 1 3/4" stock exhaust, really sounds sweet.

The radiator is cooled by electric fan which is currently hard-wired "on".       Just needs a new thermal switch.

The car has A/C but needs a new compressor, clutch, and receiver drier to operate again.

If you are looking for something you can drive right now as you fix the little stuff, this is an awesome deal for the money.

 

This is a used car with no warranties or guarantees implied.  You should come look before you bid to be sure the car is what you expect.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car anywhere.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace

Sun, May 24 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too.
