I have enjoyed having this Jag for th last six or seven years. It has been a driving project you might say. I replaced all of the ignition parts and it has run excellant every  since. I replaced the head liner and it looks great. I changed the color from a Tan ,  to British racing green. I did this myself, I think the door wells turned out OK , but the main body paint spray did not. There is some over spray and some runs in the paint . I had to fix only some minor rust. A small spot around the left quarter panel , and small spots around the front and rear wind screens. But as you can see from the pics. its a solid example. Every thing works except the cruise control , and the heating and A/C vents . The AC compressor works and is still making the the A/C lines cold, but the vent control is not directing the air properly. From my research I found there is a controller for the vents , that would need to be replaced.  Sun roof works great . The exhaust will need attention. There are some small rust holes you can hear , so it will need attention to pass inspection, but I would not hesitate to drive the car anywere. The tires still have  a lot of tread left  . Im selling to move on to other fun projects . No Reserve .....Thanks for looking

Today  on 5/29/13.  I started the car and turned on the A/C mode and the vents moved to the proper position , and now it is blowing cold air as it should...........It seems somthing was stuck.....thanks

Jaguar working on lighter F-Type with C-X75's twin-charged engine?

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Every automaker has its own agenda when it comes to concept cars. Some roll them out just to showcase where it's heading. Others create them to gauge public opinion for a potential production model. Still others only showcase a concept car to preview a model that's already well underway. Jaguar is just such a company.
In the last several years, Coventry has only produced a handful of concept cars, and each of them - the C-X16 that foreshadowed the F-Type, the C-X17 that previews the upcoming crossover and Project 7 that is now entering limited production - has led straight to the introduction of a new, commercially available model. Except for one: the C-X75.
The extreme lightweight supercar was set to succeed the XJ220 with a number of advanced technologies, but unfortunately Jaguar ended up pulling the plug to watch from the sidelines as McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche got all the attention for their new hybrid hypercars. But that doesn't mean that some of the technologies initially developed for the C-X75 won't find their way into other Jaguar products.

Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun gets a Jaguar F-Type

Sun, 12 May 2013

The Jaguar F-Type is slinking its way into vastly divergent corners of the celebrity world. Lana del Rey is its songstress, Englishman-playing-American-terrorist Damien Lewis lead its cinematic debut in Desire, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets the athletic endorsement, and now it's just been driven behind the "Adults Only" doors at the Playboy Mansion: Raquel Pomplun was gifted a year's use of an F-Type for being named 2013 Playmate of the Year.
There's a video below of Pomplun and her F-Type getting 'camera ready,' and a press release below that in case you want to, you know, "read the article."

Has the Jaguar XKR-S Sportbrake leaked out early?

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Want to haul ass down the Autobahn with the whole family and all their gear in tow? Forget that Porsche Cayenne or Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 - what you'll want is a power wagon: something like an Audi RS6 Avant or Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate. Unfortunately there are precious few of these performance station wagons on the market anywhere, especially with American offerings like the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon on its way out and the Dodge Magnum SRT8 long gone. But there's a new challenger emerging.
That'd be the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a hi-po estate from Coventry that's been a long time in the making. And now it's apparently almost here. (Only by "here," we mean "there," as it's not likely ever to come to the United States.)
Apparently set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show is a Frankenstein-style cross between a Jaguar XF Sportbrake and XFR-S performance sedan, taking the best elements from both. From the former, that means the extended roofline that gives it the cargo capacity of a small crossover. From the former, that means a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing 542 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
