It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing a 24K mile 1996 Mercedes AMG C36, a 17K mile1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible, a 1968 and 1972 Olds 442 Coupes, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any aution early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.
When the new XK8 made an appearance for the 1997 model year, I thought the coupe was the most beautiful car Jaguar had built since the original XKE. I still feel that way. This particular car has a very low production exterior color that I have been told was one of thirty built late in the model year. I have never seen another one like it, and I get comments any time I take it out. Her lines are classic, and I believe she will still look fantastic twenty years from now. It is with great regret that I offer her for sale, and believe the next owner will be more than impressed when they first see her. This is a true case of a picture not doing justice to the real thing. While I don't have the original window sticker, I know this car listed for around $70K when new.
The body is almost perfect, with no paint work. There are perhaps five very minor paint chip/nicks throughout the entire car, and the metallic paint has a deep shine. This color is much lighter than the usual Racing Green, and has a lot of blue highlights that are apparent under certain lighting conditions. The engine compartment is extremely clean, the trunk looks unused, and the leather interior and wood is beautiful. There is a small stress crack in the glove box lid that keeps me from calling the interior perfect. I have replaced the original carpeted mats with cocoa mats because the rubber backing was beginning to deteriorate, but have saved them for the next owner. The factory chrome Revolver wheels are absolutely brand new in appearance, and the Dunlop tires have less than 1000 miles on them. The original full size tire is in the boot, and the halogen headlights are clear.
I have performed all needed maintenance items in the last year, including replacement of the entire thermostat housing and window regulators (common problems on this car). All fluids have been replaced, and the A/C system recharged. All options work perfectly, including the 6 disc CD changer. The sound system is wonderful. I believe she could be driven anywhere without worries. Please excuse my long winded description for this ad, but this one is hard for me to turn loose. You won't be disappointed...

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Mercedes-Benz EQC vs. Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X: How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 4 2018The Mercedes-Benz EQ line is officially alive and kicking, with the reveal of the EQC electric crossover. It joins a segment that, while still in its infancy, seems ready to take off. Mercedes lists as the EQC's competitors the Jaguar I-Pace, The Audi E-Tron Quattro and the BMW iX3. While we've seen all of these, at least in concept or pre-production form, only one — the Jag — has actually been launched in production form. We've seen a concept and subsequent spy shots of the iX3, and the Audi EV will get its official specs publicized later this month. One electric SUV Mercedes didn't specifically call out was the Tesla Model X. As such, we've decided to compare on paper the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, the Jaguar I-Pace S and the Tesla Model X 75D: All three are dual-motor EVs, though the Tesla is the longest and tallest. The EQC has the most power, but it and the Model X's 4.9-second 0-60 times fall short of the I-Pace. It also has the lowest top speed and electric driving range. (Mercedes sent us an updated range figure, but it's using the generous and largely outdated NEDC cycle; we're still waiting on an EPA rating.) We'll be interested to see how much the Mercedes weighs. Mercedes hasn't divulged the price of the EQC yet, but we imagine it'll fall pretty near to the $70,000 mark. As for Audi, we'll revisit this comparison after those details are made available on September 17. If you're interested in some other EV comparisons, we have a couple others that we published to compare the I-Pace to premium Teslas, as well as against other less-expensive EVs. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools.

Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Jaguar's future product plans keep on slipping, slipping, slipping onto the internet, and the latest on it's entry-level luxury challenger is a 2015 due date. According to Automobile magazine, "most significant game-changer from Coventry" will be arriving on the same PLA platform that supports the Jaguar XJ and 2013 Range Rover. Kacher says the small sedan has already got the green light as codename X760, and will bow first as a four-door sedan, then as a crossover a year later.
This puts a date to a recent Autocar report that a small sedan and crossover were in the works. We've been getting reports of and concepts for a successor to the X-Type ever since Tata bought Jaguar - like the Bertone B99 concept last year, and this enthusiast concept more recently - since everyone knows it's what has to happen for "a new Jaguar" to succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what the English maker comes up with; if it remains true to form, it could be one of the few luxury competitors whose distinct model each look, well, truly distinct.
