2007 Jaguar Xk Base Convertible 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars

Year:2007 Mileage:52857 Color: no noticeable dents
Location:

Brunswick, Georgia, United States

Brunswick, Georgia, United States

Nothing is perfect, but this car is about as close as you could expect for a used.  It looks practically perfect, it drives practically perfectly, and everything works.  The factory chrome wheels had some rust spots, so I just installed $5,000 worth of brand new chrome wheels and Dunlop SP Sport MAXX TT tires - they have less than 1,000 miles on them.  I drive the car to work daily, so the mileage will change from the listing accordingly, but the round trip is only 16 miles, so it's not mounting up quickly.  The car is located in Brunswick Georgia, and can be seen and driven at just about any time.

This car is equipped with the Luxury package, which includes a full leather-covered dash (which you'll see in the photos I've protected with a dash mat), and 16-way adjustable seats on both the driver and passenger sides, as well as the upgraded "surround sound" stereo system.  You can't find a more comfortable, custom-fitting seat in an automobile at any price.

It's difficult to appreciate from the photos, but this car has a metal flake paint that makes the dark blue come alive like deep water, and the finish is outstanding.

I am the second owner, and have had the car 18 months.  I'm only selling because I'm retiring within 2-3 years, and while I thought this would be a fun retirement toy, I now am too afraid of the economy to keep such an expensive toy - got to downgrade to something cheap and practical.  The first owner was a lady who receives a new car from her grandfather's trust every 5 years.  She put 42,000 miles on it in 5 years, and it was pampered by the dealer.  I have had to do nothing to the car but replace the front brakes, and I do keep it garaged and serviced.

Disclosure:  several months ago, a fellow backed into me.  There was very light damage to the fender and door.  There was no body putty/panel repair work done.  The fender, vent opening, side light, and door shell were purchased new from Jaguar and replaced.  The body shop did an excellent job:  they blended in the bumper, hood and rear quarter panel, and pulled off both front and rear bumpers so the new paint would go completely around front and rear edges of the parts being painted, leaving no masking lines or weak points for fading or peeling to start.  If you come see the car, I'll challenge you to find any indication that will reveal to you which side was damaged.

There is a loan on the car, so you or your lender will need to work out the details of money/title exchange with my credit union.


NOTE:  Please don't be put off by negative feedback on another car I sold on ebay a few months ago.  That was a car that had been wrecked and rebuilt, sold with a "rebuilt" title, clearly disclosed as such, with everything described that I knew about the car's damage and restoration, and the caveat:  this car is being sold as-is, where-is, so please come and inspect it before bidding.  The fellow who eventually bought it bid without inspecting the car.  I sent him an email and said that I would prefer he come inspect it, because I didn't want any misunderstandings.  He said at the price offered, with the photos included, and my description, he was satisfied to buy without inspection.  So of course, after he bought the car and had it shipped to him, he began to nag me about "things wrong with the car that you didn't disclose."  I knew this was bogus, because he claimed several things such as, the car not only needed a front-end alignment, but the shop where he took it told him that "it couldn't be aligned."  I sent him a copy of the receipt where the car had been aligned at a local new car dealership only two weeks prior to the sale, including the sheet showing the in-spec results of the alignment.  He claimed the convertible top wouldn't work, so I sent him a copy of the receipt where I had taken the car to the Lexus dealer in Jacksonville only 3 weeks prior to the sale, where (all clearly shown on the invoice), I asked for a diagnosis, for "convertible top operates by does not always close and latch securely," and the report was, "right rear top position switch adjusted, top now operates properly."  I could go on.  While this is a much different automobile that has never been damaged (other than the minor dent I described above), and it has a clear title - STILL - TO PROTECT BOTH YOURSELF AND ME - please come inspect and drive the car.  I will be perfectly happy to go with you to take the car to any shop or dealer you want to perform a complete inspection.

Jay Leno gets reacquainted with the Bertone Pirana

Mon, Mar 16 2015

Jay Leno gets all manner of vehicles stopping by his garage – some more rare than others, but this one is an entirely unique creation unearthed from another time. It's the Pirana, a one-off commissioned by a British newspaper in the late Sixties that we actually found listed on eBay a few years back. It was built atop a Jaguar E-Type, but with custom bodywork designed by Marcello Gandini and crafted by Bertone. The result looks like a Maserati Ghibli or Lamborghini Espada of the same era, but actually came out just before either, previewing the Italian exotics that would follow from Gandini's pen and Bertone's carrozzeria. The Pirana is now undergoing a complete restoration to bring it back to the original condition in which it appeared at the 1967 London Motor Show, but before the process is complete, Leno shows us around and takes it out on the open road to relive memories of a relic from a bygone era.

Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection

Mon, Feb 19 2018

A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.

Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
