This Jaguar is my father's long distance commute daily driver. It has seen quite a few miles, 226051, mostly on highways. He purchased it from a dealer, as a lease return, with 35000 miles on it.
All the while it has provided the 3 qualities Jaguar is known for, "Grace, Pace, and Space."
It has a classic look, it is instantly identifieable as a Jaguar, a big greenhouse with delicate pillars and long hood and rear deck.
The interior is all leather, burled wood, and wool carpets, it is a nice place to be, front or back.
The V8 under the hood combined with the aluminum construction make it fast. On the highway it cruises beautifully, the quiet ride combined with the plentiful power means you will often find yourself travelling faster than you realized, that is why the k40 radar detector was installed. The truth is that it has been a saving grace many times, the new owner will be pleased to have it. I was plesantly surprised that the XJ8 handles twisty roads well, but of course it does, it's a Jaguar and that's part of their DNA.
The original transmission died and was replaced with a rebuilt XJ8 unit at around 180000 miles. The "new" unit works perfectly and the drivetrain is smooth and powerful.
The car has some issues so it was decided that it is time to let it go.
The passenger side was damaged pulling into a garage. Both doors will need to be straightened and most likely the whole side will need to be repainted. The rear molding was ripped off and will need to be replaced. On the upside, since the doors are aluminum there is no rust concern.
The fuel guage has been acting up recently, showing empty when it is not, suddenly going to E, etc. It was diagnosed as a bad sender or sensor in the fuel tank.
The interior is in very good condition. The seats are in very good shape, even the drivers seat is not really showing any wear. There are only a few problems with the interior, it was a pipe smokers car. The headliner is sagging a bit across the back parcel shelf. The leather on the rim of steering wheel is a bit worn
It has recently been parked due to a bad front suspension. A leak was suspected and within days the front end sank to its current position. As seen in the pics the front air shocks don't hold air. During it's final drive it had to be stopped and started freqently to allow the front to pump itself up, that way it could be driven some distance, before it sank too low to be driven, the warning lights came on, and it had to be restarted.
The winning bidder will need to pick up the car in Franklin Lakes, NJ.
It will most likely need to be towed.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
Jaguar C-X17 gets liquid metal finish for Dubai show [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Nov 2013We thought the C-X17 concept looked pretty good when Jaguar unveiled it in Frankfurt a couple of months ago. But that shade of blue, while nice enough, made it look like it shared more than a similar name with the Mazda CX-7. No, what a Jaguar needs is a more luxurious paint job than electric blue. And that's just what the British automaker has given its crossover concept in time for the Dubai Motor Show this week.
What we have here is the same C-X17, but repainted in what Jaguar calls "a lustrous Liquid Aluminum liquid metal finish," and we have but to agree. What do you think? Scope it out in the fresh batch of high-res images above and cast your vote in the poll below.

Jaguar buys world's largest collection of British cars
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Whether you're looking at Bertone going bankrupt or Spyker facing (and subsequently resolving) a large tax bill, it's saddening to see an automaker having to sell off its factory collection. That's why we're glad to report that there are still some acquiring historic vehicles from their pasts. Like Jaguar, which has just bought the largest private collection of classic British cars in the world.
The collection of 543 cars was painstakingly assembled by one James Hull, a British dentist with some 50 dental clinics to his name across the UK and who was keen to find the right buyer to take possession of his life's work and preserve it for years to come.
Of those 543 cars, the majority are of British origin, including over 130 Jaguars. The collection includes seven XK120s, several C- and D-Types, a rare XKSS, eight E-Types, thirty Mark-series Jaguar sedans, nineteen XJS coupes and convertibles, some twenty XJ sedans as well as some pre-war SS models and Swallow sidecars and coachbuilt specials from the company's early days. Among the many noteworthy examples are a rare SS100, an alloy-bodied XK120 and an MK X owned by company founder Sir William Lyons himself, as well as Winston Churchill's Austin, Elton John's Bentley, and racing driver and motorcycle rider Mike Hailwood's E-Type.
