At the time of purchase, this was a one owner car from a dealership in Florida and it's been registered in Saskatchewan for over 5 years now.
This Jaguar is in exceptional condition for its year, inside and out both
in appearance and mechanical. The engine, transmission and rear-end perform
perfectly and they have never required any repairs in the 5 1/2 years I’ve owned
it and there is no service records indicating any such repairs were done by the
previous owner. My wife drove it to Dallas TX (changing the oil prior to
returning ) and the engine oil didn’t require topping up. That is a one way trip
of 2,225 km. In fact I’ve never had to top up between oil changes ever.
Where possible, I’ve maintained the car myself (with assistance of Jaguar
savvy folks at www.jag-lovers.org ) and
have driven it for 60,000 memorable kms. Regular oil and filter changes and
general maintenance was very strictly adhered to. I really hate to part with
it, but I’ve lost winter storage for it (only drive it in summer) and I have a
1972 Jaguar XJ6 project car to work on so something has to go. It’s my hope
that it will find a good home!
Small items of concern are: very small chip in
passenger side tail light, typical wear on leather of driver seat from
getting in and out. The safety
neutral switch requires adjustment (working on it) so it only starts when placed
in neutral.
Items I can remember doing:
> front shocks in 2008
> front suspension bushings replaced 2008
> all four wheels aligned 2008 --- this was really important because
the tires were worn unevenly and needed to be replaced.
> four new tires in 2008
> all four wheels refinished to remove minor curb rash, etc.
2010
> all four oxygen sensors on exhaust system replaced new in
2010
> complete paint job 2011 > true dual exhaust from cat back 2011
> new front bumper (including lower air foil and grill) 2013
> new windshield September 6, 2013 |

Jos? Mourinho shares his fear in Jaguar F-Type R Coupe spot
Fri, 09 May 2014Jaguar is in the middle of an image makeover. It wants people to know that it makes more than just big, comfy luxury cars. Underneath that there is an edge. In its recent ads, the company wants to be associated with a more tailored, witty form of villainy. The next step is showing that it's also fearless.
Many Americans might not be familiar with José Mourinho, but he's one of the premier soccer, or football, coaches in the world. He's nicknamed "The Special One." Mourinho worked his way up from an assistant coach to lead small teams but eventually took over international heavyweights like Real Madrid and Chelsea.
In a new ad for the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Mourinho talks about what it means to be afraid. You might think such successful people overcome their fears, but successful men are driven it, he claims. But being scared doesn't make a man weak - it makes him dangerous. Scroll down to understand what Mourinho is talking about and get an earful from the wonderful exhaust of the R Coupe.
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
