It's time for me to downsize my collection before I lose garage space next year. I will be listing a 24K mile 1996 Mercedes AMG C36, a 17K mile1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible, a 1968 and 1972 Olds 442 Coupes, and this car. Please watch for my other listings if you are interested. All of these cars have something special to offer. I will be happy to assist with any inspection or pick up by carrier. I am 45 minutes South of the Atlanta airport. Payment will be accepted by bank wire transfer, check, or cash. No vehicle will be released before all funds have cleared my bank. I have a perfect eBay rating and want to keep it that way. I ask the same of you. Please don't bid unless you have the funds available to complete the transaction. All vehicles will be advertised locally, and I reserve the right to end any aution early. In fairness to all bidders, I will not disclose reserve prices. Good luck to all.
When the new XK8 made an appearance for the 1997 model year, I thought the coupe was the most beautiful car Jaguar had built since the original XKE. I still feel that way. This particular car has a very low production exterior color that I have been told was one of thirty built late in the model year. I have never seen another one like it, and I get comments any time I take it out. Her lines are classic, and I believe she will still look fantastic twenty years from now. It is with great regret that I offer her for sale, and believe the next owner will be more than impressed when they first see her. This is a true case of a picture not doing justice to the real thing. While I don't have the original window sticker, I know this car listed for around $70K when new.
The body is almost perfect, with no paint work. There are perhaps five very minor paint chip/nicks throughout the entire car, and the metallic paint has a deep shine. This color is much lighter than the usual Racing Green, and has a lot of blue highlights that are apparent under certain lighting conditions. The engine compartment is extremely clean, the trunk looks unused, and the leather interior and wood is beautiful. There is a small stress crack in the glove box lid that keeps me from calling the interior perfect. I have replaced the original carpeted mats with cocoa mats because the rubber backing was beginning to deteriorate, but have saved them for the next owner. The factory chrome Revolver wheels are absolutely brand new in appearance, and the Dunlop tires have less than 1000 miles on them. The original full size tire is in the boot, and the halogen headlights are clear.
I have performed all needed maintenance items in the last year, including replacement of the entire thermostat housing and window regulators (common problems on this car). All fluids have been replaced, and the A/C system recharged. All options work perfectly, including the 6 disc CD changer. The sound system is wonderful. I believe she could be driven anywhere without worries. Please excuse my long winded description for this ad, but this one is hard for me to turn loose. You won't be disappointed...

Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.
2014 Jaguar XJR is large, in charge
Wed, 27 Mar 2013There are few things in this world we love more than a huge, supersonic-feeling sedan, and Jaguar has just ripped the sheets off of its newest entry into that set of bruisers. The 2014 Jaguar XJR puts down a full 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque courtesy of a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. All that thrust lands on the rear tires through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the big aluminum-chassis'd four door can sprint to 60 miles per hour in a skinny 4.4 seconds. Top speed sits at an electronically limited 174 mph, and Jaguar estimates the machine will still return up to 23 miles per gallon highway.
Do. Want.
The 2014 XJR also features stiffer spring and damper rates along with an electronically controlled rear differential. Of course, there are plenty of styling tweaks on hand to separate the most menacing XJ from the rest of the family. Those include new fascias, R emblems and massive 20-inch wheels outdoors as well as special seating and trim elements indoors. Asking price? That would Be $116,000 for the XJR and $119,000 for the long-wheelbase L version. Check out the full press blast below.
Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
