 Supercharged Jaguar! Rare and Ready!

This XJ Super 8 Vanden Plas is dressed in Westminster Blue and Ivory Leather and is very clean!

The exterior has a great shine, and does have one small dent, a few door dings, and a puncture in the rear bumper. The interior is very clean with less than average wear. The factory 17" alloy wheels are nearly perfect and the fully matched set of tires have excellent tread.

The 4.0 Supercharged 32 Valve V8 pushes 370 hp and purrs just like a Cat! The Automatic transmission shifts strong and sure. The "Super" in this car not only includes the drivetrain, but also how enjoyable this car is to drive! Everything mechanical is as good as it gets, with only one exception and that is a worn strut mount that is a little noisy over bumps.

Being a Jag, it is loaded with amenities such as power windows, power locks, power two-way moon roof, heated front & rear leather seats, front & rear fog lamps, anti-lock brakes, front & side airbags, remote entry, owner's manual and more! Everything works on this Cool Cat!

According to Wikipedia, there were only 788 total Supercharged Vanden Plas XJ8's made between 1997 - 2003, and this is the last year of this production model. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_XJ_(X308)

If this were not enough to get your heart pumping, this XJ has a clean CarFax (no accidents) and the same owner since 35,310 miles. Need more motivation? Bluebook value of this car is $12,500!!!!!

This is a RARE opportunity to own a classic Supercharged Jaguar!

This Jaguar is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. I am also open to Buy It Now offers.

I do accept trades and trade-ins. I am particularly fond of Volkswagen, Audi, and almost anything vintage. Let me know what you have.

PLEASE NOTE: Provided that low reserve is met, may I be the first to congratulate you on an excellent purchase! Of course the next step is to pay (see payment instructions). In addition, as a licensed Michigan car dealer, it is mandated that I collect sales tax, license fee and title fee, and I do charge a $95 documentation fee to cover the time to process all of the paperwork. All of these fees are the buyers responsibility. Transporting this car is also the buyers responsibility, but I will help in any way I can, including coordinating shipping via my wholesale network or picking up the buyer at Grand Rapids Michigan airport so you can drive this beauty home (it is ready for a road trip anywhere!). That said, this car is sold as is where is with no warranties expressed or implied.

IN CLOSING: While I have not utilized eBay much for my dealership, I have been an eBay member since 1999 with 100% positive feedback (see kevhead31). I have accurately and honestly described this vehicle as I do with all of my items, which is why I have never received even one negative feedback in 15 years.

Jaguar F-Pace SUV teased on YouTube [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

UPDATE: Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America's VP of communications, reached out and explained that the Detroit section of the F-Pace video was recycled from the car's confirmation announcement at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, shown here. "There is 100 percent no subliminal message and Frankfurt is the debut location," Schorr told Autoblog. The story has been edited to reflect this information. With the Jaguar F-Pace slated to debut in less than 90 days, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the teasers are starting to ramp up. That means videos like this, featuring Jaguar design master Ian Callum, which give us short, sweet peeks at the British brand's very first crossover. The big teasers come in the form of Callum's drawings of the F-Pace, combined with short clips of its headlights and taillights as it zooms around the streets of downtown Detroit. That said, none of the images shown are so dramatically different from the C-X17 Concept, the vehicle that previewed the production model and makes an appearance here. We aren't really sure why the Motor City features in the teaser, considering the F-Pace is being unveiled in Germany, but one of the final sequences sees a set of taillights streak past Cobo Center, home of the annual Detroit Auto Show. It's a weird decision to be sure, and leaves us wondering just how much truth there is to reports of the Frankfurt debut. Why would Jag make such a decision if the D weren't going to play some role in the car's future? Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Jag's first F-Pace teaser. Is there any particular design detail we missed? What do you think of the potential Detroit connection? Head into Comments and let us know.

Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]

Mon, Jan 5 2015

A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.

2016 Jaguar XF First Drive [w/video]

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Jaguar has never had a problem with style or driving joy. Every generation of the British brand's vehicles – with excuses made and accepted in advance for S-Type and X-Type and other outliers – has offered compelling styling and great performance. New kid XF was no exception when it was introduced in 2007. The car's sheetmetal pointed the way forward for the fully up-to-date range we see now, and its confident engines and handling chops were on pace with the best Bimmers, Benzes, and Cadillacs. The first-generation XF made some hay for Jaguar, selling around 280,000 copies through 2014. But those annualized rates still represented a blip on the luxury midsize radar when viewed against the backdrop of the German Three's numbers. Part of that sales story has been down to the E-Classes and 5 Series of the world being consistently excellent, to be sure. But a lot of the blame can be found in Jaguar's historic weak spots. Grace and pace the brand had in spades, but consumer perception of quality and reliability just weren't there, pricing was typically near the top of the class, and the residual values of the cars were low (a combination of all three factors, most likely). Of course, Jag would love to sell a few more cars. But this time, instead of simply building a great-looking, great-driving new XF (which is absolutely the case), the brand is doing some clever non-engineering-based things to put more big cats in more garages than ever before. The tradeoff of very good ride quality is worth the minute amount of roll. After flying all they way to Spain – Pamplona and the Navarra Circuit, by way of Barcelona and a Range Rover adventure you'll hear about soon – I would be remiss not to tell you how the new XF goes down the road. Some 150 kilometers (93 miles) of motorway and challenging b-roads lie between the city with that annual livestock problem and the 2.44-mile, FIA approved racecourse. A route that led me to understand that this XF, in my case the 380-horsepower XF S, has gained more than it has lost in the generational changeover. The company is fully committed to aluminum for its midsizer, with the new car now using a body structure that's 75-percent built from the stuff. I'm told that means a body in white that weighs just over 600 pounds, and an overall weight savings of 11 percent. Body stiffness has been raised by 28 percent in the process.
