1997 Jaguar Xk-8 Convertible. Show Winning Car - Excellent on 2040-cars
Greensburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1997 Jaguar XK-8 Convertible. White with tan top, and tan interior. 84k original and easy miles. Adult owned, never abused. I am second owner. Probably the nicest one in the area. Multiple time show winner at the local British car shows in its class over the past years. Excellent condition, only a few very minor paint chips as one would expect on any car, nothing that detracts from it at all. Perfect Interior, seats show no wear, dash not split or cracked. Perfect matching wood. Front bumper is excellent, not all scratched up like you seen some. Top works great, takes the factory standard 20 seconds to raise or lower in warm weather. Slightly longer when it is cold out since it is a hydraulic unit. Tires, suspension, and brakes all good. Runs and shifts great. Factory alloy wheels, no aftermarket junk on the car. All glass is perfect. Only selling to buy something new, I've enjoyed it for a number of years and now it is someone elses turn. Vehicle has zero problems. Clean Title and CarFax, you can check by typing the VIN in. All owners manuals, keys, and docs present. Harmon Kardon stereo system with CD player. Loaded with all the usual Jaguar options. I replaced the timing chain tensioners when I purchased the car with the new design ones as preventative maintenance. If you do not know, the original tensioner design had a plastic case that became brittle with age and engine heat, leading to tensioner failure and the corresponding valves hitting the pistons, etc.. The new design tensioner is all metal to prevent this from happening. No Nikasil issues either, only good quality gas used in the car. If you are looking at another of these cars, ask the owner if they did the tensioners. Chance are they didn't or they are not going to know what you are talking about… Please contact me with any questions on the vehicle. A fully refundable deposit of $500 must be paid within 24 hours of the close of the auction thru PayPal. The remaining balance must be paid within 3 days. Cashiers check, cash, or a money order required. Personal or business checks will need to wait until they clear before vehicle moved. PA residents pay applicable taxes. All others will pay what is required in their home state. Delivery is the buyer's responsibility. I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is also offered locally for sale. |

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit
Wed, Jan 24 2018When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots
Wed, 15 May 2013With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.
Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
