2006 Jaguar Xj8 Vanden Plas on 2040-cars
Bohannon, Virginia, United States
Up for sale is my beautiful 2006 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas. I purchased this vehicle in 2012 in North Carolina with 90,000 miles on it. This vehicle has never been flooded or been in any accidents. The Vanden Plas is the more luxurious trim level on the XJ model, and this one had literally all but one option installed- adaptive cruise control. Other than adaptive cruise control, it has every luxurious option offered on the XJ sedan, and they all work. The vehicle is a pleasure to drive; it glides down the road on it's independent air suspension. All original equipment is included, from the lambswool floor mats to the Serius Satellite radio remote control. The car has and continues to be garage kept. The paint looks and shines like it just came off the showroom floor. Over the past two years of my ownership I have replaced the front air suspension system, the rear control arms and front control arm bushings, and the alternator- good news for the buyer, because these were elements of the car prone to cause problems, and they've already been fixed! I also have all service records indicating these repairs and scheduled maintenance since my ownership. The Jag starts right up and purrs down the road at 75 MPH, all while still under 2000 RPMs. There are no warning messages on the dash but the engine light is on due to an oxygen sensor needing replacement- I have the paperwork diagnosing this. The odometer is currently at 127,388, but the car is a daily driver so this will change. Test drives are welcome from serious inquirers. I will accept paypal or cashier's check; however, if paying by cashiers check, the vehicle and the title will not be released until payment has cleared. Scammers will be reported to eBay. This is an excellent car and I know whoever buys it will be more than satisfied with their purchase.

Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience throws you the keys to the museum
Thu, 16 Oct 2014As automotive journalists, we get to drive a lot of really cool, high-performance vehicles. It really is the single best thing about this job. However, our access to vehicles is generally limited to the newest offerings on the market. That means, much like the general public, we don't really get access to vintage iron.
Jaguar is trying to rectify that issue for journalist and enthusiast alike, with a new program called the Heritage Driving Experience. It allows British enthusiasts to pop into the brand's Warwickshire testing site, drop anywhere from 100 to 300 pounds ($160 to $480) and go for a spin in some of the brand's most legendary offerings. That includes the more typical classics, like the Mark 2 saloon and the E-Type sports car, but you can also pay for access to stunners like the XK150, XKSS and the race-spec D-Type. In addition to the classics, most of the tests include time in their modern successors. So an hour with the Mark II can be split with time in an XFR-S, while the E-Type is complemented by its spiritual successor, the F-Type.
Most of the events are limited to 30 or 60-minute sessions, although the brand does offer a half-day and full-day event. The former, the Jaguar Le Mans Experience, includes time in the C-Type, D-Type, XKSS and F-Type R. The full-day Grace and Pace Pack, meanwhile, gives you access to nine vehicles, covering a huge gamut. That means time in the C-, D- and E-Type, XK150, Mark II, XKR-S GT and F-Type R, among others. Not surprisingly, prices aren't listed for the half- and full-day pack. Much like Jag's finest cars, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford them.
Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff
Fri, 08 Aug 2014There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.
Take a trip down Jaguar's memory lane with Xcar
Sat, 19 Jul 2014For decades, Jaguar has been a company of two minds. On one hand, there are its luxurious, British saloon cars. They might be quick, even sporty, but when it comes down to it, they usually put a focus on comfort and accommodations above all. On the other hand, Jag has its sports cars to really get its buyers' blood pumping. Think about it: the XJ might look pretty sweet, but you know deep down that you would rather take the F-Type for a spirited drive, reveling in its snorty exhaust note. In its latest video, Xcar Films takes us on a very enjoyable history lesson covering some of the Brit brand's most exciting models ever.
Xcar hits all of the highlights, starting with the often-overlooked C-Type from early '50s with its somewhat bulbous shape. Things then progress to the drop-dead gorgeous D-Type. The one in this video is actually the first ever made and therefore worth a fortune. Because of that, the host isn't really able to get too aggressive, but it's fantastic to get an idea of what it's like to experience being behind the wheel of this icon. Finally, it ends with a Series 1 E-Type. This was when the classic model was still something of a sports car; instead of the grand tourer that the E-Type became in its later days.
All three of these cars are legends in their own right, and maybe one day the F-Type could be too. Scroll down for a history lesson on some of Jaguar's best sports cars.
