1999 Jaguar Xk8 Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Renfrew, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Very low mileage beautiful 1999 XK8 convertible in dark blue with matching blue cloth top and off-white leather interior. Everything works, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, two position seat memory switch, 6 disc CD changer, auto climate control, cruise, 5 speed auto and "J" gate, adaptive power steering, and of course, power windows and mirrors. Seats are in great condition, no splits, rips, tears or abraded areas. Beautiful burl walnut veneer dash. I have replaced the auto-dim rear view mirror as the original had discolored. I also updated the cam chain tensioners to metal and added top hydraulic pressure reducer resistance. Top hoses have never burst, just insurance to prevent the possibility. There is a tiny door ding in the right rear fender that is visible if you look for it and the light is right, it didn't break the paint though. There's a scratch in the plastic plinth above the licenses plate where you normally lift the boot but, again, you have to look for it. Body is otherwise in immaculate shape. Continental DWS tires have 6K on them and wear indicators still show 100%, new brake pads last year, low beams updated to HID. Two keys and remote fobs and original owners manuals. Top is in excellent condition with no apparent wear or stains. Even the retractable cupholder works as designed. Fresh oil and filter (7 qts Syntec). Overall average of 20.9 mpg in mixed driving with mid-grade petrol. Exhaust has been modified to give a low burble at idle and a little bit of growl when accelerating but is silent at cruise. The total silence of the standard exhaust was annoying. Original spare still in trunk.

Lapping Le Mans with 1956's version of a dash cam
Wed, 01 May 2013Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe is here, will debut on stage in LA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013When Jaguar previewed its new sportscar two years ago with the C-X16 concept, it showed a coupe form. But when the car hit production as the F-Type, it rolled out in roadster form only. Not that we're complaining, but we all knew it wouldn't be long before Coventry revealed the production coupe, and that's just what it's doing at this month's LA Auto Show.
Jaguar hasn't given us much to go on yet - just a single shot of the vehicle from above and nothing in the way of technical details - but we all know the drill. The F-Type Coupe will essentially be the same as the existing roadster, only with a fixed roof - with a large glass panel, mind you, to let plenty of light in and keep the cabin from feeling markedly more claustrophobic than the open-top version.
That ought to make it a little lighter (though not much) and a little stiffer, but otherwise we can expect more or less the same specs as the convertible. We'll have to wait until the evening of November 19 to know for sure, though, so watch this space for more.
Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
