Beautiful Red Series Iii Vanden Plas on 2040-cars
Wheaton, Illinois, United States
|
This beautiful Metalic Red Jaguar with it's distinctive Series III body style and it's new correct Vanden Plas leather interior draws the attention of everyone where ever you go. If your sitting at a stop sign, or rolling up to the country club for dinner, everyone notices this Jaguar. I brought this car up from Florida about 10 years ago and it has been our "Saturday Night" car in the summer months ever since. It has been well maintained mechanically and is as much fun to drive as it is to look at. Once you have driven a Jaguar, you come to appreciate the handling and performance only these classics can deliver. The floors, trunk, frame, etc. are all solid as the day I brought it up from Florida. There is only a slight bubble in the paint, smaller then a dime, on the sunroof, and if you get down on your hands and knees you can see where the front valance has scraped a parking block a few too many times. There has been several upgrades to this car like the poly bushings in the front end and the improved rear trans mount to eliminate vibration, just to name a few. The brakes have just been redone, including new rotors on the front and rear. This car is very dependable and ready to drive anywhere. The heat and a/c all work fine, windows and sunroof function as they should and the original radio comes with the security code should you ever need it. Only mechanical issues I know of is the fuel gauge on the right side fuel tank doesn't register but the tank and pump functions correctly, and the climate control is sometimes tempermental so I leave it on a/c mode as I only drive it in the summer months anyway. No puddles on the driveway or noises when it's running, this car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. Only reason I'm selling is that I'm getting up in age and it's time to let others enjoy some of my toys. Good luck in bidding and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Jaguar's Callum refutes two XJ bodystyle rumor
Wed, 01 May 2013Not long ago, we relayed word from Edmunds that Jaguar was planning to split its next-generation XJ sedan into two bodystyles - one model that continued the ambitious design approach fostered with the current X351-based model, and another, more upright model to better appeal to China's conservative design sensibilities.
We expressed some cynicism in the idea, noting that such a strategy "might catch more profits for the marque, but it might also represent a setback to design head Ian Callum's vision for a thoroughly modern Jaguar portfolio." Callum has been quite insistent in his belief that Jag needs to be a forward-thinking brand in terms of design, and the two-model strategy seemed to conflict with that idea. We tried to get some comment from Callum at that time, but were unable to reach him.
As it turns out, our cynicism was well-placed. Autocar says that while the next XJ will continue to have two wheelbases, Callum has denied the two-model talk, saying flatly: "I can't see us doing two bodystyles. The cost would be enormous and the message inconsistent. You have to believe in what you produce and to do two bodystyles would undermine that."
2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S [w/video]
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Withhold judgment on the world's greatest exhaust note until after you've heard the Jaguar F-Type V8 S (scroll down now for a sneak peek). Its cackle, boom and pop under deceleration will have you rifling through its glovebox looking for a tool to remove the stereo as an in-dash audio system.
Combining modern technology with age-old exhaust plumbing, Jaguar's British engineers have developed a way to propel spent combustion gases into the atmosphere in a manner that elevates the complete driving experience. At idle, it purrs. Under acceleration, it roars. During cruise, it soothes. Perhaps most compellingly, during deceleration, it titillates.
Thankfully, the newest two-place convertible from Jaguar isn't only defined by its mesmerizing soundtrack - the F-Type would be an impressive sports car even if the world went silent.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
