1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:135677
Location:

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Last of the breed! The 1996 Vanden Plas was one of the last true Jaguars. This model is fully optioned including the extended wheelbase. British racing green and tan; classic Jaguar!
This is a Canadian vehicle so the odometer is in Kilometres; 218 351= 135 677 miles.
The car is in very nice original condition. Not a show car, but very nice. This is one owner car, passed down into the family. 
The tan leather is nice condition with no tears. The original paint still has a brilliant shine. The only known body work was to the lower back dog leg section. Some minor scratches, but no dents.
The cylinder head has just been replaced. I purchased a brand new, fully complete Jaguar OEM head in a crate from Engel imports in Michigan. The motor runs perfectly and there are no warning lights present.
Other recent parts include muffler, cam position sensor, sway bar links and rear fuel lines.
The Michelin tires have lots of tread remaining.
The only known issues are: cracked windshield, A/C condensor and sunroof is inoperable. 
Please feel free to ask questions. I can help with shipping arrangements. I am located 45 minutes from the New York State border.

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.

2016 Jaguar XE is ready to stalk the competition

Mon, 08 Sep 2014



The XE wears some of the best styling elements from Jaguar's current litter.
Big sedans and sports cars. Jaguar has been known for those two things since the company's name was birthed in 1945. Stylish saloons like the Mark 2 and performance machines like the E-Type make up the brand's heritage, but the compact sedan market is one where the British marque has lacked great product.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
