I am the original owner of this beautiful XJ8, one of the most attractive sedans ever built. We bought her new in January 1998 for about $54,000 and she has spent her entire life in the no road salt environment in Florida and hence has no rust. The car has about 105,000 never abused miles on it. She has never been wrecked. It is totally dependable and everything works on the car except as noted below. She has a new set ( less than 1,000 miles ) of Sumitomo radials and a new set of front seat covers to cover the worn originals. She has a good sounding multi-disc CD player mounted in the trunk. Now for the weak points. The paint I would describe as fair to good with the usual parking lot dings and some slight chipping on the left rear door. The roof paint is a bit faded with a touch up that lifted in a small spot and didn't quite match the faded paint. The ding in the rear bumper is hidden by the "GB" sticker. Mechanically it's good except for the following issues: the left front turn indicator is not working, the heat blows, but the heat is anemic even though the A/C blows ice cold, the right rear shock needs replacing as it makes a thumping sound (a new shock is included with the car but not installed ). We drive this car anywhere and it is our preferred car on a long road trip. Purchase of a new car means she has to go. The Kelly Blue Book ( www.kbb.com ) on this car in a private sale ranges from $3,845 to $4,795. Feel free to call or write with any questions, (813) 600-9936. Ed

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."
2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
