I purchased this Jaguar in January of this year, the transmission was failing at that time. The A clutch drum had failed. This is a very common problem with these transmissions. I replaced the A clutch drum, valve body, seals and fluid. Inspected all the clutch packs and pump. I am selling this beautiful car because I have bought a 2008 Pontiac Solstice. Just to many toys. Everything other than the transmission repairs were paid for by the previous owner out in California. He told me that the labor rate out there was $175.00 / Hr and all work was done by a Jaguar dealer. Even the underside of this car looks like new Upon request I can send you a copy of the Carfax that I paid for when I bought the car.
This is a gorgeous 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible. Beautiful body and black paint, excellent black top and headliner, and very nice original interior with soft cashmere color leather with some wear on the lower out corner of each seat. As seen in the pictures. Sparkling chrome factory wheels with Michelin tires (less than 6,000 miles on them). I am the third owner. I purchased the car 10 months ago from California. Nearly $11,000 in repairs and updates in the last 25,000 miles. Runs and drives well, everything works. This is a great opportunity for a Jaguar enthusiast to get a beautiful and well cared for XK8. Below is a list of the major work done on the car, with mileage and cost. As you can see this car has been well cared for. Miles Task Cost 123560 Overhaul transmission, New front struts, lower control arm bushings, replaced original plastic thermostat housing with new aluminum housing 122300 Four new Michelin tires $1,020.00 115090 Front brakes pads/rotors $1,083.48 112892 Smog check, pass 104653 New HP power steering hose, brake switch $1,302.27 101697 Timing chain tensioner upgrade (lower) $5,341.82 88963 New serpentinem belt, wiper blades $594.98 87637 New heater hoses, Tstat, front/rear brake pads/rotors $2,942.02 70534 Update timing chain tensiner (upper) new fuel pump $2,954.12 67127 Replace alternator $757.76 63740 Brakes, front rotors/pads, misc $630.22 54049 Tires $956.26 50665 Radiator flush, brake flush, serpentine belt $525.09 45235 Brake switch $285.72 40162 Replace wish bone bushings, 40K mile service $1,145.51 33683 Brakes, new front rotors/pads $583.82 28484 30K mile service, detail, new battery $896.61 27221 Flush/replace top fluid N/C As you can see all of the key preventive maintenance important for these cars has been done, from the full timing chain tension upgrade, all the way down to the upgrade fluid for the top hydraulic system. Everything works. There are some minor chips and dings here and there, and the only detractors in the interior are some wear to the outer lower seat backs that can be seen in the pictures. The car is for sale locally as well so the listing could end at any time. |

This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
Jaguar Land Rover backs Arc startup that sells $100,000 electric motorcycles
Wed, Nov 7 2018Before it even put its first motorcycle on the road, new startup Arc reeled in a major player to back its ambitious product plan. In conjunction with the reveal of the fully electric Vector superbike at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori ( EICMA) show in Milan, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it is placing capital in Arc, using JLR's investment company InMotion Ventures. Arc claims the Vector is the first all-electric motorcycle with integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) to come to market. Arc, not to be confused with Keanu Reeve's Arch motorcycle company, has a pretty typical mission statement: "To use progressive design and technology to transform people's relationship with an automative experience. For us, for you, for our planet." At the core, Arc wants to make connected, clean, exclusive superbikes, and the Vector is its first try. Although Arc didn't get into the nitty gritty details about the make-up of the bike, it did give some surface specs and information. The bike's structure is built using a carbon composite to create a "unique Arc battery monocoque." Weight is also kept low using carbon fiber swing arms. There is no mention of the size or type of electric powertrain, but Arc claims it will have a highway range of about 120 miles or a city range of 170 miles on a single charge. Arc says it will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. Stopping power comes from a Brembo brake system, while ride and handling relies on Ohlins dampers. The launch does not stop at the motorcycle, but includes gear, as well. The Vector links up with a jacket and a helmet for a fully connected experience. Partnering with U.K.-based impact protection design company Knox, Arc created the Arc Pilot System. Using audio, the armored Origin riding jacket provides haptic feedback based on numerous riding inputs to help keep the driver safe and aware. Furthermore, Arc linked up with luxury helmet maker Hedon to build the WiFi-connected Zenith helmet that houses an integrated projection heads-up display. In addition to showing things such as speed or battery life of the bike, the helmet uses a built-in rear camera to display other vehicles in the rider's blind spots. The rider can command the system using controls on the bike or via voice commands.
2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.
