Offered for sale is a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible
98987 Miles This Jaguar is a great looking car with the paint in great condition. It seems to of always been an inside car as there is no sun damage to any of the paint, dash, convertible top, or leather. It runs and drives great with effortless amounts of power. The two front tires have wear and are nearing the end of their lives and causes some vibration. The interior is in great shape with no major rips or stains. There is some age related ware and a small split along a seem on the bottom of the drivers seat. please see photos. A set of real sheep skin seat covers is included with the car in this auction. The convertible top is in excellent shape with no rips. the back glass window is also in good shape and the top doesn't leak when the car is washed! The power top moves quickly and quietly. All power windows and seats are functional. The radio has been upgraded to a CD player but the original is avalible in the truck. The Climate control operates as it should, the lcd screen can be hard to read at times depending on the temperature out side. The AC doesn't blow cold constantly. I have only had it come on once. There is NO check engine light and NO air bag lights on while the car is running. All the lights come on upon start up of the car and then go off just as they are intended to do. Under the hood all fluids are full and appear to be the colors that they should be. I have also been told that the bakes are in good shape as they have lots of pad left. When you put the car in park there is a sensor that tells the computer it is in park. This sensor often is unable to tell and it makes a beep when you exit the car. The beeping stops in a few seconds. It does not cause any other issues as the car is in park, It just beeps to tell you that you may not be as you exit the car. This car is titled in my name and holds a rebuilt Nevada title. I received this car as a form of payment from a client so my knowledge of the car is fairly limited. it lived in his garage for many years and he rarely drove it. I have driven it from California and around Vegas without any problems. It seems to be a great car and just needs a new owner. I am not an expert on cars so I hope i have described everything. I hope the photos speak for them selves. Please contact me with any additional questions. PLEASE NOTE: A bid is a commitment to buy, not a conditional offer. If you bid and win, the car is yours! Any non paying bidders will be turned over to E bay. A $500 Deposit is required via money transfer or pay pal within 24 hours of auction close. NO exceptions. Pick up is with in 1 week of action close. unless previously discussed. After one week there will a daily charge for storage and insurance. I have described the car to the best of my abilities. However it is a used car. All inspection must be done prior to auction end. Best of luck! She is a great car! |

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 Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun gets a Jaguar F-Type
Sun, 12 May 2013The Jaguar F-Type is slinking its way into vastly divergent corners of the celebrity world. Lana del Rey is its songstress, Englishman-playing-American-terrorist Damien Lewis lead its cinematic debut in Desire, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets the athletic endorsement, and now it's just been driven behind the "Adults Only" doors at the Playboy Mansion: Raquel Pomplun was gifted a year's use of an F-Type for being named 2013 Playmate of the Year.
There's a video below of Pomplun and her F-Type getting 'camera ready,' and a press release below that in case you want to, you know, "read the article."
