Wallkill, New York, United States

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.

Jaguar teaches Mena Suvari and Sebastian Stan how to drive the F-Type

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Automakers conduct driver training programs on racing circuits around the world for a variety of participants: journalists, customers, even celebrities. And at a recent session of the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the Leaping Cat marque had a couple of the Hollywood types in the paddock.
In addition to the various (evidently well-heeled) members of the public, learning how to pilot the new F-Type Coupe R on the track this time around were actors Sebastian Stan and Mena Suvari. You might recognize Stan from his roll as Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Suvari from such red, white and blue favorites as American Beauty and the American Pie franchise, but both got a first-hand taste of one of Britain's finest courtesy of Jaguar.
So how did it go? Well, as one of the less-famous participants put it, it was #awesomesauce." We couldn't possibly reproduce in words her enthusiasm in person and on camera, so you'll just have to watch the video below to see for yourself.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ

Fri, 23 May 2014

Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.

Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
