I have for sale my 1997 Jaguar XK8. This vehicle has been in the family since 1999. I have a folder worth of receipts for this car. This car has a 4.0 V8 Engine, fully loaded with 6 cd changer, leather seats, wood grain dash, steering wheel, etc. If you are familiar with Jaguars then i dont need to explain the features.

Engine and Transmission:
Car currently has 79862 miles and runs perfect. There are no knocks, ticks, smoking, pinging or anything that should not be there. Within the last few hundred miles I performed a lot of work on the car. I replaced eight (8) spark plugs, replaced eight (8) coil packs, replaced two (2) ignition modules, changed both valve cover gaskets, replaced intake filter, Amsoil 25w-50 Synthetic Oil Change, radiator flush, replaced the ABS Module, bled the entire brake system. Replaced speed sensors on the front wheels, along with an alignment. 
The car was always maintained and whatever services needed to be done were done. The jaguars are known to have dirty throttle bodys and this one was cleaned out. 

Exterior:
As you can tell by the pictures, the jaguar is blue in color and in good shape for a 1997. The only flaw to the paint itself is on the top half of the passenger side door, the clear coat is starting to peel.
The front bumper has a few spots where the clear is starting to peel (about the size of a quarter each). During Hurricane Sandy, a tree branch stuck the windshield and put a small rip in the convertible roughly 2 inches in length. I patched that up and replaced the windshield. I painted the hood, trim around convertable and passengerside fender due to the clear coat fading. The body has 2 small dings on the passengerside. Other than that the exterior is in good shape. 

Interior:
Driverseat has a tear and some fading, the radio and climate control work but the display does not work. You can purchase replacements for under $200.00 on ebay. The steering wheel is swede is slightly faded and there is a small crack on the wood grain. I bled the convertible system and replaced the high pressure hose. Convertible works perfectly.The interior is clear except for the driver seat rip. The vehicle is a 1997 so some wear and tear is going to be present. 

Miscellaneous:
-Vehicle has a new 1000 amp cold cranking amp battery (8 months old)
-Vehicle has a new windshield
-Vehicle has new wipers
-The engine covers which sit over the spark plugs are secured in place with water proof silicone and some of the original tabs. Some of them broke off when I had the plugs and coils replaced. 
-The intake tube has a broken tab that connects to the throttle body so I used a nut with a larger washer to secure it down. Its been that was for roughly 10k miles with zero problems. 

Overall:
Vehicle is a blast to drive and is fast! i'm an honest seller and want to disclose any known issues. I spend close to $4000.00 to get the vehicle mechanically sound. The car runs awesome! Since the mechanics and maintenance were done I wanted to focus on the interior but more important things came up in life and I need to put my money else where. Any questions please message me on eBay or call the number provided below.

Jaguar wants to make real-life driving just like a video game

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
