#16 Of Last 100 Series Iii Jaguar Xj12 Vanden Plas Special Edition, Rare In U.s on 2040-cars
Richmond, Virginia, United States
|
For the Jaguar enthusiast, this is #16 of the last 100
Series III Jaguars. Jaguar changed models in the US market in 1987 but
continued producing the Series III for the Canadian market until 1992. These last 100 produced truly represent the
pinnacle of the Series III model. All of the last 100 were speced with unique
options and all had the V12 engine (also referred to as the Daimler Double Six)
and the Vanden Plas designation. The
chance to own one of these cars is rare, especially one already imported into
the U.S. This is truly one of the most beautiful Series III Jaguars available on ebay or anywhere else. Number 16 has Black Cherry paint in beautiful condition. This car turns heads everywhere I go. There are some minor flaws and scratches, but they are almost impossible to see in any photo because the paint reflects like glass. She also has doeskin leather interior contrasting with buckskin piping. These cars were essentially hand made with the best leather hides and wood. #16 has a gorgeous dark burled walnut dash and the door filets are burled walnut inlaid with Peruvian Boxwood. The interior looks brand new other than some minor wear on the driver seat, and the shifter council has some cracks and a chip in the wood. Once you see the interior leather with the dark piping you will think every other Jaguar looks plain. The XJ12 starts every time and drives like a dream. The transmission shifts smoothly and you feel you have unlimited power with the V12. A recent tune up has #16 running incredibly well. The car has a working sunroof that I use most everyday and all the electronics and windows work. It also has the boot mounted CD player, sport steering wheel, Bosch ABS brakes, headlight wipers and daytime running lights (unique to this vehicle.) I replaced the contentious automatic aerial with a standard manual aerial, but kept the old motor in place if you want to get aggravated by it. This car was owned by a wealthy family in Canada for most of it’s life and was well cared for. I have records showing all of the work performed at the Toronto Jaguar dealership. It was then bought by a collector in Toronto, who then sold it to me to make room for an XK120 restoration. I legally imported it into the US and licensed it in Virginia about 2 years ago. I have used it 2-3x a week when the weather is nice. The Series III is arguably one of the most beautiful vehicles ever designed. If you are going to get one, why not get one of the last 100 Jaguar made to be the best of the best? The car is of course available for inspection and I would be happy to answer any questions. |

Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ
Wed, 17 Apr 2013As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.
