Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"42,300 miles,"

I have owned the car since 1998 and drove it less then 500 miles since then. A Jaguar mechanic in Limerick, PA performed most of the mechanical work on the car. Almost $10k was spent at that time. Less then 500 miles on the Mechanicals, Brakes & Exhaust. About 5 years ago - New Interior & Top w/Rubber seals. 2 years ago - New Tires. The car runs GREAT!!

These are the things I can tell you about the car:

* The person I bought the car from told me that the original owner had engine trouble. Jaguar rebuilt the engine and it has less then 17,000 miles on it.

* The car was repainted sometime during the 1980's - There is some paint chipping on the edge of the bonnet where it closes and at the one front fender above the tire. NO DENTS.

* The battery may have leaked at one point. There is some discoloration on the body just below where the battery is.

* I just had it to my mechanic and the rocker switch for the headlight needs to be replaced as well as the wiper motor. While the car is running, he said there is a minor oil leak by the front pulley, but nothing while the car is sitting.

* There is a small gap between the top and the windshield but the chrome piece that attaches to the top is there but not on. I will put that in the trunk for transporting. There is also a gap between the top and both side windows as well.

* One of the knobs for the window is missing.

* An AM/FM/CD player was added at some point.

The engine and exterior are currently getting detailed so she will shine even better!! I was going to fix and touch-up the things listed above, but my son is attending college in the fall and I need to make my first tuition payment soon. That is the only reason why I am selling the car. It always turns heads and is a great car for someone. It is time for me to turn it over to the next person to enjoy. It will not take much to turn this car into at $60,000+ car. The person in Limerick wanted me to sell it years ago. He told me this is a great condition car for someone to do a full 100 point restoration to, but I sure loved to drive this once in a while just the way she is!!

Good Luck. E-mail with any questions you may have or additional photos if needed. The car can also be inspected and viewed in person with appointment.

Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
