Cherry, pampered, Carnival Red, 1-owner, new engine 9K miles ago. As close to
new as a 14-year-old car can be. Garaged at both ends of its commute, this Seattle
car has never seen salt and barely seen sun; that's why the paint is still vibrant and
shiny. The exterior has a half-dozen micro-flaws (tiny rock dings, one scratch; see
close-up pics). The interior is like new save for a dime-size crack in the parking
brake boot, a nickel-size scuff on the steering wheel, a quarter-size (tar?) stain in
the driver's foot well, and slight scuffing on the driver's seat.

This first-year S-Type had an engine with the nikasil cylinder liners. (For the
uninitiated, search "Jaguar nikasil"). At 118K, the engine was done. Wife loved the
car (it's her driver), so I had the original engine completely rebuilt to the tune of
$14K (including labor); see the scanned paperwork. Now it's a year later and she
wants a Jaguar XK. Oh well. (By the way, will trade with cash for a 2007-09 Jaguar
XK, or 2000-03 Subaru WRX wagon, unless it's silver or gray.)

Have all records from day one. All the failure-prone bits have already been replaced.
Someone's going to get a beautiful great-driving car at a bargain price. The opening
bid is the cost of the new engine.

$500 due at auction's end. Any form of payment is OK, but I'll wait for any check
(including cashier's checks) to clear the originating bank before releasing the car.

This is the part of the auction text where there's usually a bunch of vaguely
threatening language about your bid being a contract, and ask any questions before
you bid, and stuff like that. Here's my deal: buying a car online is hard. I've bought
and sold several over the years. If you're near Seattle, you're welcome to come drive
this car and have it inspected by a mechanic. If you win this auction and for whatever
reason do not like this car when you see it in person and drive it, then you can have
your deposit back, no hassle, no negative feedback. The fault will be entirely mine
for somehow failing to represent the car accurately.

If you will be shipping the car, I'm home during the day and can assist your shipper.
If you want to fly in and drive home, I can pick you up at the airport; I live about 10
miles from Sea-Tac.

Any questions, don't hesitate.

Bill

This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.

Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.

2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0T First Drive Review | Less soulful, still sexy

Tue, Jun 19 2018

Jaguar is eager to promote its Ingenium turbocharged inline-four as a legitimate object of performance desire, and what better way to do so than drop it into its most desirous car? The 2018 Jaguar F-Type Coupe to this point has featured six- and eight-cylinder engines, all supercharged, but this is the first time that the other type of forced induction has made its way under the F-Type's long, sculpted hood. The new pairing looks pretty good on paper. The 2.0-liter engine's 295 pound-feet of torque is available from 1,500 to 4,500 RPM. It makes 296 horsepower at 5,500 RPM, 44 horsepower shy of the blown V6 model, but weighs 117 pounds less. That's enough to motivate the 3,360-pound F-Type to 60 mph in the mid-5-second range, only 0.3 seconds behind said V6. The 2.0-liter is also a lot cheaper – $8,100 less than a bare-bones V6. That'll probably make the decision for a lot of folks, dropping the base F-Type into a whole 'nother class of sporty two-seaters. I'll posit, however, that the F-Type isn't a raw numbers car. It's a passionate thing that appeals to an emotional part of our brain. Just look at it! The coupe we tested, in Fuji White, was fresh as a mountain stream despite the platform's age. The sheetmetal is, quite simply, most of the appeal. Even the base wheels, 18-inch, 10-spoke alloys, look phenomenal. And since the F-Type 2.0 is sexy, undeniably quick enough to back up its sporting looks, and a significant price savings over a V6, it's almost a killer app. If only the little Ingenium turbo-four was as passionate as the F-Type itself. It's a workaday unit, coarse and gruff. After all, it sees duty in just about everything else Jaguar-Land Rover makes, from the lowly Discovery Sport to the big XJ. Its clattery four-cylinder noises and thrashiness don't jibe with the premium sports-touring vibe the rest of the car exudes. We've gotten used to, if not come to universally love, four-cylinder pony cars like the Mustang and Camaro, but the divergence in character between car and powerplant here is vast. It does the job, sure, but you enjoy the F-Type in spite of its engine, rather than because of it. Low-speed tractability issues don't help things any, whether the engine's charms are important to you or not. An odd combination of boost, driveline shunt, or transmission confusion make low-speed maneuvering jerky, regardless of drive mode. Putz around a mall parking lot or sit in traffic for a few minutes, and it'll be clear what I'm on about.
