2006 Jaguar Xk8 on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States

This is an immaculate Jaguar XK8 that's been exceptionally well taken care of. Every option available on this rare
find except xenon and nav. Includes Motorola blue tooth hands-free & backup sensors. Color is Topaz (SEC) and looks
like "champagne", light beige top, and cashmere interior (SDZ). Michelin ZR-19-255/245-40's. I found this car in
"like-new"condition in Sarasota, FL, with 15K miles, traded in by the original (lady) owner for a brand new XK
model at the dealer. I've hand washed, waxed, garage-kept and maintained this car like new since. Of all of the
sports/foreign and performance cars I have owned, I have held on to this one the longest! This is by far the
sweetest ride, best looking, complete head-turner of all! I've had people walk up and make offers on it many times.
Classic Jag styling and looks on the 2006 are the last of it's kind making this an extremely rare find! Equipped
with an upgraded powerful 4.2 litre engine, this car loves the highway, rides like a dream! Or, take the top down
and buckle on the leather boot to cruise with an elegant open-air look and feel.
Exterior has BRAND NEW, OEM factory color flawless paint job ($7000.00), not a scratch on it and the even the rims
are perfect -it looks like it's sitting in the showroom!!!! Interior shows very minor wear on driver's seat. No
mechanical issues, and the only repairs since I have owned this beauty were a seal gasket, water hose, thermostat
and reservoir replaced. Otherwise just standard maint, synthetic oil changes, tires, brakes, shocks, struts and
wipers. Serviced at the same shop in Vero Beach, FL by my favorite mechanic, all service records available. The
carfax was a minor side-scrape from a lane change(my fault-so insurance claimed for both vehicles at $5K-2013),
replaced R mirror, RF quarter and door scratched-no body fill, and no other accidents or damage ever.
This car has been garage kept all of it's life and I have enjoyed driving it-my new office doesn't have covered
parking. Ask for more details and get a fine, well cared for and very rare, refined sports car lover's dream!
Faster than a Vette, and smoother than a Rolls! You'll love this car as much as I have!

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
Jaguar Land Rover likely to build US plant... in three years
Mon, Mar 9 2015Jaguar Land Rover may very well open a plant in the United States, but the latest word has it that it'll be another three years or so before the company even makes a decision on the matter. The prospect first came up on our radar back in October when we reported that JLR was considering building a plant in the South. Georgia governor Nathan Deal even flew to the UK to solicit JLR's business. Former parent-company chairman Ratan Tata subsequently confirmed the idea was under consideration last month. And now the British automaker's CEO has told Automotive News that JLR will need a US assembly plant to fuel its growth in the vital North American market, but that'll it'll take a while to get going. The reasons for the delay, according to chief executive Ralf Speth, are threefold. For one thing, the automaker has its hands full at the moment opening plants in other locations: last year it opened one in China and this year it opened one in Brazil. It also recently opened a new SVO facility, an electric-propulsion R&D center and a new engine plant all in the UK, and can only handle building so many new facilities at a time. JLR will also need US suppliers of aluminum components to step up their game, as the company relies heavily on aluminum construction for their vehicles. US automakers shifting to aluminum for models like the new Ford F-150 will encourage American suppliers to get into the game, but it may be a while before they're up to Jaguar Land Rover standards. Finally, JLR will need to increase its sales potential in the US in order to justify local production. Speth says the company would need one model of which it could sell 30,000 to 40,000 units in the US alone, and it sold less than 18,000 units of its best-selling the Range Rover Sport here last year. In fact the entire Jaguar brand sold less than 16,000 units throughout all of last year in America, with Land Rover selling far more at over 50,000 units to contribute to total sales of over 67,000 units.

2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata powered by a Jaguar-sourced V6 for sale
Tue, Aug 25 2020Cars & Bids, a relatively new site that specializes in auctioning modern enthusiast cars, is selling a 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata. While that's hardly unusual, this example lost its four-cylinder engine and gained a Jaguar-sourced V6. Pulling a 3.0-liter six out of a 2000 S-Type and dropping it into an unsuspecting Miata is apparently easier than it sounds. England-based Rocketeer offers a kit that makes the swap reasonably straightforward, though the listing notes the factory air conditioning system is not compatible with the new engine. Cold air aside, the installation is done so neatly that it looks like Mazda envisioned the Miata with a bigger engine. Jag's V6 inevitably adds weight to a roadster praised globally for its nimble handling, but it also brings a whole lot of horsepower to the table. Left stock, a 2002 Miata is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 142 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. The example listed on Cars & Bids puts 220 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque under the driver's right foot, figures that easily offset the weight gain. And, somewhat surprisingly, the six spins the rear wheels through a stock five-speed manual transmission. Flyin' Miata sway bars and Koni shocks improve handling. Close the hood, and this Jagazda looks like a run-of-the-mill 18-year-old Miata. The seller made no modifications to the body, it's still painted in its original shade of silver, and he kept the stock 15-inch wheels. The dual exhaust tips hint at the V6, but they're subtle enough to surprise more than a few racers at the next autocross event. The auction is live now, and bidding stands at $4,250 as of writing with about three days left before the hammer drops. If you miss your chance to bag it, several shops sell kits that let skilled shade-tree mechanics shoehorn Mazda's K-Series V6 (which powered the MX-6 and the Ford Probe, among other cars) into an older Miata.
