VandenPlas XJ8 in nice shape. New parts include an aluminum thermostat housing and a new plastic crossover pipe. New front suspension bushings, sway bar links, upper shock mounts, 1 upper and 1 lower ball joint , 4 new tires with less than 1000 miles on them. The brakes are good all the way around, with at least 1/2 life left. The underside of the car looks really nice too. No rust AT ALL. The car looks to have all original paint on a damge free body. I bought it from the original owner who paid $70,000 for it new.

The rain sensing wipers, A/C, heated seats, cupholder, and moonroof are working good. Usually some or all of these items are broken or not working on these cars, but not this one. The leather on the seats is in nice shape, no rips, or rub through.

The car does have the drooping headliner in the rear, and the 3rd brake light needs to be glued back onto the rear glass. There are a few minor cracks in the wood trim's clear coat, but better than most others I've owned. There are only lambs wool rugs on the right side floors. they are missing for the left side. The old owner didnt have them any more.

This car has a steel lined engine, and updated timing chain tensioners, so those issues are not a concern on this car.

Im only selling this car because I have an XJR, and dont need 2 jags. If i was going to keep it, I'd get it detailed to make it look even better, and get an alignment due to the new suspension parts installed.

Ive put between 1000, and 2000 miles on the car since I've had it, and the check engine light only came on once, with the "check gas cap" message at the same time. This was due to the gas cap not being on tight. I put it on tightly and the light hasnt come on since.

2018 Jaguar XJ stars in 'Game of Drones'

Mon, Sep 18 2017

Looking for a fun way to put the its 2018 XJ in the spotlight, Jaguar turned to a fresh form of racing. The automaker placed three of the long-wheelbase XJL models in a studio, and surrounded them with illuminated, door-shaped gates. Then Jaguar brought in a pair of professional drone racers to compete in the glowing circuit, which includes pass-through of the rear of the XJL cabins. The drone pilots, donning VR headsets, sat in the rear of the 575-horsepower version of the XJL, the Jaguar XJR575, and launched the drones from the trunk of the car. They raced the drones through the gates and through the cars at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. "The course was a great test, but the fact we were able to go at such speeds proves how much space the doors of the Jaguar XJL gave us," said the winning drone pilot, Brett Collis. "Despite having to fly through the cabin, we were still pushing the drones to their top speeds." The "Game of Drones," as Jaguar dubbed the race, took place at Alexandra Palace in London, but the automaker is bringing similar experiences to more locations. Jaguar plans to go on an "Art of Performance Tour," where it will bring drone and Smart Cone driving challenges to the public, free of charge.

Bloodhound SSC makes its speed-ready debut in London

Fri, Sep 25 2015

Bloodhound SSC, the 1,000-mph land speed record contender, broke cover this week in Canary Wharf, London, in the heart of the Docklands financial district. "This is the best of British engineering meets the best of British banking," quipped Philip Dunne, MP, minister of state for defense procurement, which has provided backing for the team in terms of Army and Royal Air Force personnel and equipment. The team announced that Bloodhound will do its first test runs in Newquay, Cornwall, next spring before traveling to Hakskeen Pan in northwest South Africa in the fall. There, on October 15, 2016, it will make its first attempt on the land speed record, which currently stands at 763.035 miles per hour. That speed was set by Thrust SSC in the Black Rock desert on October 15, 1997 by Bloodhound's driver, Andy Green. Nineteen years later to the day, Green will be shooting for a speed over 800 mph. Over 8,000 people will come to Canary Wharf to see this extraordinary jet- and rocket-powered car over the next couple of days. This is the first-ever viewing of the machine in assembled form. The right-hand side is fully dressed in desert spec, complete with forged aluminum wheels and aerodynamics. The left-hand side is in 'naked' Newquay test spec, with panels removed for easy access and the whole thing riding on rubber tires that can run on tarmac. First impressions are of a big yet muscular car simply crammed with engines, jets, and rockets. The most recognizable thing, apart from the seven fire extinguishers, is the Jaguar AJ133 5.0-liter V8, lifted from an F-Type, which will run the fuel pumps that deliver over 211 gallons of high-test peroxide over the rocket motor's 20-second burn time. The EJ200 Typhoon military jet engine occupies the top floor and provides nine tons of thrust, and underneath is the single Nammo rocket motor providing an additional four tons. "When we go for 1,000 mph, we'll need another two rocket motors," says Mark Chapman, Bloodhound's chief engineer. "That total additional eight tons of thrust is what we'll need to get from 800 to 1,000 mph." He explains that the rear of the car will have to be redesigned to accommodate the two additional rocket motors, and the suspension might have to be adapted with longitudinal rear spring units like the fronts. There are still unknowns in the project, such as the area of vacuum that will follow the car several meters behind.
