1997 Jaguar Xk8 Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Upland, California, United States
Lots of pictures below This sexy XK8 is ready to drive away. It runs and drives great, and everything works. Under 83,000 miles. Body is excellent, interior is very good. Great color combination for a sports car, Arrest-Me (Carnival) Red with Cream interior. Chrome wheels are excellent. Kumho tires have less than 1000 miles on them. The suspension is very tight, no clinks, clanks, creaks, cracks, thunks or thuds when you hit a bump. Transmission is very smooth, as is the engine. No leaks. Timing chain tensioners were replaced in 2009 at about 67,000 miles, along with lots of other work. I have a receipt ($8500) that will go with the car. It has an aftermarket front grill. It looks great, but if you don't like it, it is held on by a few screws. It also has an aftermarket rear spoiler. I like it, but if you don't it is held on by double sided tape. Should be easy to remove. It comes with 2 keys, and 2 remotes. No manuals, but you can download them for free online. If you have any questions or would like to see pictures of anything I didn't include, just let me know. I can help with domestic or international shipping, at your expense, of course. The car is available for inspection, but by appointment. I'm not always around. Payment: If you want to take the car immediately, I require cash or wire transfer. If you want to wait for it to clear, I will take a cashier's check. The bank can hold a cashier's check for up to 10 business days. A $500 deposit is required within 48 hours after the end of the auction. You can use paypal. California residents must add 8% Sales Tax to the final purchase amount. Reserve is very reasonable for this car. Please don't ask me what it is. Let's just say it's way lower than the repair bill mentioned above. This car is sold AS-IS

Lightweight E-Type to show historic side of Jaguar Special Operations in Monterey
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Jaguar has made a lot of great vehicles over the years, but as far as historians are concerned, it still very much lives in the shadow of the original E-Type, small as it was. In its image, Jaguar has made two generations of XK and the new F-Type, but what we have here is the most faithful continuation of the E-Type heritage yet.
Alongside the Range Rover Sport SVR and the F-Type Project 7 (making its US debut), Jaguar Land Rover and its new Special Operations division will roll into Pebble Beach this year with the continuation Lightweight E-Type. Of the 72,500 E-Types which Jaguar built between 1961 and 1975, only a dozen were Lightweight versions, and they remain the most coveted E-Types of all. It originally planned on building 18 examples, though, and five decades later, it's now committed to completing that original production run in faithful detail.
The Lightweight E-Type was based on the standard roadster and was homologated as such, just with some key upgrades to make it lighter and faster. The biggest change, of course, was the lightweight aluminum bodywork that cut 205 pounds off the curb weight. To replicate it, Jaguar took the last example (the only one made in 1964 after the original eleven were made in '63), scanned half its body surface, mirrored it to ensure symmetry and set about reproducing it with the same standard of materials available in the Sixties (and resisting the urge to go with more modern grades of aluminum). 75 percent of the 230 components are made in-house, with the largest stampings outsourced and built on machinery built to Jaguar's specifications off-site.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
