2003 Jaguar S- type R

Specially Designed and Crafted... One of One!

We have had the pleasure of handling a number of unique, certainly "one of a kind" vehicles, for Bob. He is in his mid-70's and as a life long designer, engineer and "hot rod" car guy from the Detroit area, his mind is always busy thinking of cool and distinct projects.

This Jaguar R type was born from the idea that he always loved the 1967 Jaguar Mark II, however, wanted a car he could enjoy without the concerns of the older "mechanics" of the 1960's Jaguars. His first thought was to convert an original Mark II to a modern drive train and electronics... What you see here is the result of a very different project! We think it's stunning and, we promise, you will have the only one like it!

All enhancements are cosmetic, this Jaguar remains "stock" under the skin. And for those who know a little about performance, did you know that if you ran the 1/4 mile against a factory built 1965 GTO with a tri-power and 4 speed, you would win the race by 4/10th's of a second? (Information from magazine road tests.) This 400 horse power Jaguar is no kitten! Excerpt from a Car and Driver road test (quoted below) refers to the 408 ft. lbs. of torque and the ZF six speed automatic transmission with the 4 piston Brembo calipers for added stopping power.

The 19" Continental Extreme Contact tires (255 40 ZR rear and 245 ZR front) are mounted on chromed alloy rims.

The 1967 Jaguar Mark II grill and tail lights were special ordered from England. The rear deck and tail areas were reworked and crafted to give it a vintage Bentley -Jag look. The doors are power remote operated (note the custom "shaved" handles) as is the deck lid. The paint is PPG Urethane case coat with six coats of clear.

A multiple year project, the finishing touches were completed last fall and it has been in storage all winter. There are no chips, scratches, or dings from driving or storage.

From "Car and Driver":

2003 Jaguar S-type R

Under the hood is a thoroughly revamped edition of Jaguar's AJ V-8, stroked to 4.2 liters and enhanced with a new intake manifold, revised heads, and continuously variable (instead of two-position) intake-valve timing. These and numerous other refinements combine to improve emissions and boost power output by about seven percent, to 300 horsepower in the S-type 4.2 (many of the same improvements were also extended to the 3.0-liter V-6). For the R, an Eaton blower is bolted on, spinning five percent faster than the one in the XJR and XKR and exhaling 13.1 pounds of boost per inch through twin air-to-water intercoolers.

The only transmission offered on the R is ZF's stunning new six-speed automatic, fitted with exactly the same gearing as it gets in the BMW 745i. This is the state-of-the-slushbox art in terms of shift quality and gear spacing...

The S-type R's controls require little or no acclimation. Steering effort builds in direct proportion to available grip, and the chassis's response to the helm is completely predictable. Broad-shouldered Continental tires provide astonishing grip in stoic silence (after all, if smoky burnouts are taboo, squealing turns are surely unthinkable). A quiet scrubbing sound is heard as the tires relinquish their grip, at which point the stability-control system intervenes just enough to prevent a disaster.

Four-piston Brembo calipers at each corner inspire plenty of confidence, too.

We welcome a "Pre-Purchase" inspection prior to the end of the auction and are available to answer questions either by e-mail or phone.

Our phone number is (248) 589-2700 (We are open every day!)

We have a 100+ car indoor display facility in the Detroit area. You may view this vehicle 7 days a week!

For 28 years we have been offering professional selling services to private owners.

If you or a friend has a vehicle for sale, protect yourself from the risk and inconvenience of selling your own vehicle... call or email today.

Jaguar offers best glimpse yet at new F-Pace [w/video]

Fri, Sep 4 2015

The upcoming new Jaguar F-Pace crossover promises to be both fast and comfortable, but its reveal has been somewhat slow and painful. Fortunately it'll all come to a close soon when Jaguar finally takes the wraps off the finished product at the Frankfurt Motor Show less than two weeks from now. But before it does, it's offering us one more glimpse at its forthcoming debut crossover. Though once satisfied leaving the high-riders to its sister brand Land Rover, Jaguar declared its intention to get into the crossover market when it presented the C-X17 at the Frankfurt show two years ago. We've since seen the concept rehashed in different colors, more spy shots of prototypes undergoing testing than we could shake an aluminum stick at, and even more teaser images and videos – including some barely wearing any camouflage at all. But this is out best look at it yet. And with it, the British automaker confirms that the crossover will hit US showrooms next Spring. The production F-Pace is pictured above and at the end of the video below in S trim, production spec, and in profile ahead of its global debut. And looking at it side by side with the concept, it's clear that Jaguar has kept faithful to the original design. The side vent has been reshaped, the rear haunch smoothed out, the roofline appears to slope a little more, and some minor details have been rethought. But otherwise it's a dead ringer, at least as far as we can tell so far. Even the wheel design is strikingly similar. But we'll reserve final judgement for when we see it up close, personal, and from all the angles upon its debut Â– though we don't doubt we'll see a bit more of it between now and then.
