I bought this car for my birthday last year, just to have a summer fun car. The previous owner had just spent $2600 on getting new timing chain and tensioner from the Jaguar dealership. The cars runs and drives great, it a wonderful highway cars. I put a new set or tires on this car less then 1000 miles ago, I also just had a new soft top installed and it looks great. The negatives about this car, it got some hail damage last year, and the clear coat is peeling all over the car and a cracked windshield. Mechanical the only issues is a ABS light comes on from time to time. If you Google this problem you will see its very common on these XK8 and there is a cheap fix. You have to take out the ABS Module and resolder one connection, it takes a couple of hours to do this repair and doesn't cost anything. I haven't got around to doing it because the light does not come on every time and it doesn't effect how the car runs or drives. This is a fun car, it's awesome dropping the top and letting the wind blow through your hair. I've owned about 10 Convertibles and enjoy all of them. This car started off life as a California car, new it was over $70,000. NADA says this car should sell for over $7800 for a average condition car, This car has a brand new set of tires and a brand new top. Since it has some hail dents and clear coat peeling I will put a very fair price on this car of just $5500.00 I sell cars on ebay for a living, so I can help with some cheap shipping. This was not one of the dealership cars it has been my personal car for the last 1.5 years. If you will call or text me at 620-664-3011 with your zip code I will give you a idea on shipping. I do have 3 sets of keys and remotes for this car and a free and clear title in hand.

The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is back on the prowl after a few decades away
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Sometimes procrastination has its benefits. Jaguar originally planned to build a run of 18 E-Type Lightweights for racing in the '60s. However, it was only ever to complete 12 of them. It has taken all of the intervening decades to finally get back to the project and build the final run of new Lightweights. While Jag announced the plan recently, the first continuation model was unveiled during the Pebble Beach weekend.
Coming from Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations unit, these cars are identical to the way they left the factory in the '60s. Jag is even using the same grade of aluminum for the bodies, and the cars are fully compliant for FIA historic racing. Power comes from an aluminum, 3.8-liter inline-six with about 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque routed through a four-speed manual gearbox. Who could guess that in 2014 someone could buy a brand new vehicle from a major manufacturer that comes with Weber carbs? Though, Lucas mechanical fuel injection is an option.
While they look old, these new E-types are also a wonder of modern technology. To get things just right, the company laser scanned an original car to create the new bodies. Check out the gallery from the unveiling to see this old cat on the prowl again.
Lapping Le Mans with 1956's version of a dash cam
Wed, 01 May 2013Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
