Eugene, Oregon, United States
The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan. VEHICLE CONDITION: THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. The exterior, I have to say, is practically flawless. The paint job is EXCEPTIONALLY MINT. Only the tiniest scuff can be seen on the front bumper, the rest of the finish is superb and practically glows with a fine midnight blue-black shine. I love hand washing it and it has definitely been well taken care of! Pride of ownership throughout. The interior, although it is less than mint condition, it is still totally clean, well taken care of and fully functioning. It has some slight signs of wear on the seats (minimal) and part of the headliner is bowed, but the rest of the interior is still in perfect, nice working condition and it looks absolutely great. Tires have 75% tread still left on them and the rims are in excellent condition. ALL FEATURES FUNCTION WELL, COLD AC, RESPONSIVE NEWER BRAKES, LOUD ALARM SYSTEM, EXCEPTIONAL STEREO, POWER EVERYTHING, IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

I've met dozens of new people just by parking at the grocery stores and having folks stop me to comment on this car, saying things like "What a beautiful car!" and " I've got one of these beauties at home myself" and "Wow! Is that a Rolls Royce?!" (lol) and my favorite from a little boy, "I love your car, will you marry me?" It is definitely a social "ice breaker" whether you like that perk or not, : ) This car is so much fun to drive too, a real pleasure, smooth, like it is gliding over the pavement, responsive, quick acceleration, really powerful get up and go for sure!

It's a real head turner, the 17 inch rims are nice for and stock rim from the dealer, I like the CD changer since it is easy to put 6 of my favorite cd's into the disc changer and listen to a variety of my favorite music all at the touch of a button.Favorite Features Performance , Luxury comfort, LOOKS are incredible, Supercharged in-line 6 way better on gas than a v12.________________________________________________________________________________ #3) XJR Luxury rocketby klet on Dec 15, 2012 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRthis car not only turns heads,but leaves the the competition behind. very very very fast!!! i am always with smile on my face when i drive this car, it is the best kept secret around!!! _______________________________________________________________________________ #4) How come know one talksby HateGermanBrakes on Sep 16, 2002 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRIt'a rocket in hiding. If a BMW 540 owner ever had this car, he would be bragging about his V-8. Power is amazing at 322 HP. New Mods (V8's) have higher HP 370 but about the same same torque. Had many other HP luxury cars. This one has power is better than BMW's 540, or Mercedes 430 or Lexus 400 series. Reliability has been better than average for me. Brakes are way better than any any german car. I have 57K on original brakes and they still look good for another 20K. Both my BMW's and Mercedes ate brakes about ever 20-25K. Can't believe it took me this long to buy a Jaguar, I'm never going back to anything else! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, you've heard it straight from the "horse's mouth" with those reviews and WOW, what a car!

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life - at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept. And now Jaguar has done it again with its C-X17.
Initially unveiled in electric blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar then rolled the crossover out again in liquid silver for the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Now the concept is back again at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China with a fresh coat of rose gold.
Looking decidedly more luxurious than the previous iterations, this gilded C-X17 concept also bears another change: while the previous versions featured a four-seat cabin, this one has been redone with a more conventional five-seat configuration that more buyers would likely go for. It's also got a new interactive infotainment system and another system that warns passengers of pedestrians or cyclists approaching from the rear before they open the door. Check it out in the high-res image gallery above and the video clip below for a closer look.
This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
