2003 Jaguar S- type R

 

Specially Designed and Crafted... One of One!

 

 

We have had the pleasure of handling a number of unique, certainly "one of a kind" vehicles, for Bob. He is in his mid-70's and as a life long designer, engineer and "hot rod" car guy from the Detroit area, his mind is always busy thinking of cool and distinct projects. 

 

This Jaguar R type was born from the idea that he always loved the 1967 Jaguar Mark II, however, wanted a car he could enjoy without the concerns of the older "mechanics" of the 1960's Jaguars. His first thought was to convert an original Mark II to a modern drive train and electronics... What you see here is the result of a very different project! We think it's stunning and, we promise, you will have the only one like it!

 

All enhancements are cosmetic, this Jaguar remains "stock" under the skin. And for those who know a little about performance, did you know that if you ran the 1/4 mile against a factory built 1965 GTO with a tri-power and 4 speed, you would win the race by 4/10th's of a second? (Information from magazine road tests.) This 400 horse power Jaguar is no kitten! Excerpt from a Car and Driver road test (quoted below) refers to the 408 ft. lbs. of torque and the ZF six speed automatic transmission with the 4 piston Brembo calipers for added stopping power.

 

The 19" Continental Extreme Contact tires (255 40 ZR rear and 245 ZR front) are mounted on chromed alloy rims.

 

The 1967 Jaguar Mark II grill and tail lights were special ordered from England. The rear deck and tail areas were reworked and crafted to give it a vintage Bentley -Jag look. The doors are power remote operated (note the custom "shaved" handles) as is the deck lid. The paint is PPG Urethane case coat with six coats of clear.

 

A multiple year project, the finishing touches were completed last fall and it has been in storage all winter.  There are no chips, scratches, or dings from driving or storage.

 

 

From "Car and Driver":  

2003 Jaguar S-type R

 

Under the hood is a thoroughly revamped edition of Jaguar's AJ V-8, stroked to 4.2 liters and enhanced with a new intake manifold, revised heads, and continuously variable (instead of two-position) intake-valve timing. These and numerous other refinements combine to improve emissions and boost power output by about seven percent, to 300 horsepower in the S-type 4.2 (many of the same improvements were also extended to the 3.0-liter V-6). For the R, an Eaton blower is bolted on, spinning five percent faster than the one in the XJR and XKR and exhaling 13.1 pounds of boost per inch through twin air-to-water intercoolers.

The only transmission offered on the R is ZF's stunning new six-speed automatic, fitted with exactly the same gearing as it gets in the BMW 745i. This is the state-of-the-slushbox art in terms of shift quality and gear spacing...

The S-type R's controls require little or no acclimation. Steering effort builds in direct proportion to available grip, and the chassis's response to the helm is completely predictable. Broad-shouldered Continental tires provide astonishing grip in stoic silence (after all, if smoky burnouts are taboo, squealing turns are surely unthinkable). A quiet scrubbing sound is heard as the tires relinquish their grip, at which point the stability-control system intervenes just enough to prevent a disaster.

Four-piston Brembo calipers at each corner inspire plenty of confidence, too.

2021 Jaguar I-Pace updates include better infotainment, faster charging

Tue, Jun 23 2020

Jaguar grabbed an armful of features from the JLR corporate store to improve the 2021 I-Pace, including bits from Land Rover and more technology from the brand's Formula E campaign. Restrained exterior mods start with Atlas Grey tips on the grille mesh, three new color choices in Caldera Red, Portofino Blue, and Eiger Grey, new wheel designs, and 19-inch wheels replacing the 18-inchers on the base-model S. An optional Bright Pack affixes a chrome grille surround, satin chrome window surrounds, and splashes of Atlas Grey on the mirror caps and rear diffuser. The optional Black Pack claims more real estate, painting the rear badges in gloss black. A 3D surround camera system is standard for 2021. Even more ease for drivers comes with the ClearSight digital rear-view mirror that debuted on the latest Range Rover Evoque. A rear-facing, wide-angle camera mounted in the infotainment system's roof antenna can sends images to the inside mirror with the flick of a toggle.  The biggest convenience addition is the Pivi Pro infotainment system that arrived with the new Land Rover Defender, replacing the Touch Pro Duo unit. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster pairs with the carryover 10-inch upper and five-inch lower instrument panel screens. Intended to reproduce the smartphone experience on larger screens, a backup battery gets the navigation initialized quickly, and zooming needs no more than a finger pinch. The "flat" menu structure puts oft-used functions on the home screen, and cuts in half the steps required to input a destination compared to the Touch Pro Duo. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, as does 4G data enabling live traffic, in-unit Spotify and other listening apps, and swift over-the-air updates. Wireless phone charging with signal boost is optional. On top of Pivi's algorithms to learn the best routing and stay quiet during parts of a route that the I-Pace travels regularly (why don't more systems do this?), the 4G support means continuously updated info on EV chargers along the route. Which brings us to hardware and software changes in the powertrain, courtesy of Formula E. Its 394 horsepower and 234 miles of range are unchanged, but the ease of getting that range does. Instead of the 7-kW, two-phase onboard charger, the 2021 I-Pace packs an 11-kW, three-phase charger. Plugged into an 11-kW wall box charger, range grows by 33 miles every hour, compared to 22 miles every hour with the 7-kW system.

Jaguar prices 2020 F-Pace range, starting at $46,225

Sun, Jul 28 2019

The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace lineup includes two new limited-edition models, and every model comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay standard. The crossover has finally acquired its most crucial numbers, the MSRPs. Starting price for the entry-level F-Pace 25T, powered by the lesser 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Ingenium engine begins at $45,200. Add the unchanged $1,025 destination charge and the total comes to $46,225, which is $400 more than the 2019 model. The Premium, Prestige, and R-Sport trims go up by the same amount for both the 25T and the 30T models — the 30T powered by the 296-hp version of the 2.0-liter Ingenium turbo four. Premium increases by $550, Prestige by $350, and R-Sport by $300. That makes the least-dear 25T Premium a $48,825 affair. The 30T Portfolio model costs $64,625 for 2020, a $300 bump over 2019. The S raises the stakes by the same amount, to $63,125. The flagship F-Pace SVR with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 and 550 hp tacks on the largest price jump of $620, for a total of $81,625. The limited edition trims are the previously announced 300 Sport and Checkered Flag. In the U.S., the 300 Sport comes exclusively with the 296-hp 2.0-liter Ingenium four-cylinder, and exterior revisions like dark satin gray trim on the grille and window surrounds, side vents, mirror caps, rear fascia and door finishers. Inside, yellow contrast stitching on the instrument panel and seats marks the beast, plus embossed logos on the front headrests. The full-fat Touch Pro navigation with Connect Pro comes standard. The crossover sits on 22-inch gray wheels and wears plenty of 300 Sport badges throughout. Three colors are available: Yulong White, Indus Silver and Santorini Black. It takes $63,025 to start the bidding. The Checkered Flag Special Edition is based on the R-Sport and adds plenty of gloss black, including 20-inch gloss black wheels. Color choices here are Yulong White, Eiger Grey and Santorini Black. The 247-hp four-cylinder get the nod, along with 18-way adjustable front seats, the Touch Pro navigation without Connect Pro but with the Meridian audio. It costs $59,4258
