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!

Jaguar-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO
Fri, 28 Feb 2014The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.
Jaguar's ambitious turnaround plan will put a big focus on the American market
Tue, Jul 25 2023Land Rover is on a roll, but it's been awhile since we've heard from sister company Jaguar. The company is concocting yet another turn-around plan, and recently-appointed CEO Adrian Mardell provided several details about what's in it and it means for the American market. Speaking to industry trade journal Automotive News Europe, the chief executive conceded that mistakes have been made. "[Jaguar] was incredibly successful in North America 25 years ago, before we took the compromises and the decisions we made," he explained. He stopped short of providing specific details but pointed out that Jaguar's best days have been "lost within Ford Motor Company data." If you need a crash course in Jaguar history, Ford bought the brand from British-Leyland in 1990 and sold it to India-based Tata in 2008. Mardell, who joined Jaguar Land Rover in 1990 and watched the group embark on a roller-coaster ride, sees big potential for growth on Ford's home turf. "There are 20 million millionaires in the United States alone. So, a lower volume [and a] higher price positioning is absolutely the right position for Jaguar today," he opined. In contrast, Jaguar has largely aimed for mainstream segments in recent years. The publication added that Jaguar's master plan calls for moving upmarket to fight in the same arena as Bentley and Porsche. As of writing, most buyers and journalists consider Jaguar an alternative to brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, and its current portfolio reflects this positioning: The XF competes in the same segment as the 5 Series, for example, while the F-Pace goes head-to-head against the X5. Moving upmarket is easier said than done, and there's no word yet on precisely how Jaguar will pull it off. We know that it's starting from scratch; it canceled the new XJ months before the big sedan's unveiling. Automotive News Europe learned that one of the models being designed to jump-start the brand is an electric four-door GT that will cost about GBP100,000 (around $128,000) when it goes on sale in 2024. Looking further ahead, the brand will continue to expand by launching two additional electric models. Their design will "split opinion." "What we will not worry about is being loved by everybody, because that is the kiss of death. That is what put Jaguar in the situation it is in today, which is with no equity whatsoever," outspoken JLR chief creative officer Gerry McGovern recently told a group of investors.
Junkyard Gem: 1985 Jaguar XJ6
Mon, Mar 6 2017The Series III Jaguar XJ was built for the 1979 through 1992 model years, the final chapter of a quarter-century of the iconic original Jaguar XJ (though production of the straight-six model ended in 1987). Thanks to notoriously troublesome electrical systems and rapid depreciation, but blessed by stay-of-execution-obtaining beauty, most of these cars were parked under blue tarps in driveways before the end of the 1990s... awaiting repairs that never came. Here's one that I spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard over the winter. If you were serious about driving a Jag during the easy-money 1980s, you needed the optional wire wheels. That showed those rubes in the BMW 735s and Mercedes-Benz 500SELs what real class was all about. The 4.2-liter version of Jaguar's legendary straight-six engine made 176 horsepower in 1985. That was six fewer than the 735i's six and eight fewer than the 500SEL's V8. However, the XJ6 cost $32,250, versus $36,880 for the BMW and $51,200 for the Benz. Given that the Jag offered at least as much (and maybe more) status on the street, its price tag looks like a pretty good deal. Of course, the electrical stuff would have a few issues, but so what?
