1995 Jaguar Xjr Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars

Year:1995 Mileage:152000

I've decided to sell my XJR reluctantly, as I'm moving to a new house and have many other vehicles I'm going to have to transport.

I bought this car as a non runner and have spent over $2000 getting it to run and drive. And I was driving it around for a while. New parts include: 2 new fuel pumps, crank position sensor, cam sensor, MAF sensor ($350), 6 brand new injectors ($520), new front struts, air, fuel and oil filters, fuel pump relays, ignition relays... The list goes on. Plus I have a number of parts that are still in the box that will go with the car.

Once I got the car running and driving I found out it had a bad steering rack and it needed a couple of new ignition coils, as it would occasional misfire then run normally again, and I traced this to bad coils... That was as far as I got.

The car currently doesn't have a steering rack on it, although I do have the old one that can go back on it. It literally takes about 30 mins to fit, it's only 6 bolts. but this one has badly bent inner tie rods.

Apart from all that stuff it's a good solid car. The engine and transmission are very strong and the engine sounds really nice. The exhaust system is nearly new, and the transmission was serviced recently.

The interior of the car isn't amazing. The leather seats are worn and the driver's seat is torn on the upper left side. And the passenger seat has a tear. Also the sunroof seal is shot, so I've put duct tape on it to seal it. Everything works though, all the windows roll down, the Karman Hardon sound system is incredible!

The body is fair, it was a California car so absolutely no rust. It does have dings and scratches here and there but most of them will polish out I would think. The passenger rear door has a bumper scuff on it.

The windshield is cracked. And the car has a rebuilt title, as it was driven over a pot hole and it tore up the suspension and the insurance company paid it off, then the guy bought it back from them as far as I know.

All in all this will make a nice car with minimal work. And it will be a daily driver with 2 ignition coils and a steering rack, which you can get on here for under $400.

Thanks for looking!

1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.

This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
