Beautiful Red Series Iii Vanden Plas on 2040-cars
Wheaton, Illinois, United States
|
This beautiful Metalic Red Jaguar with it's distinctive Series III body style and it's new correct Vanden Plas leather interior draws the attention of everyone where ever you go. If your sitting at a stop sign, or rolling up to the country club for dinner, everyone notices this Jaguar. I brought this car up from Florida about 10 years ago and it has been our "Saturday Night" car in the summer months ever since. It has been well maintained mechanically and is as much fun to drive as it is to look at. Once you have driven a Jaguar, you come to appreciate the handling and performance only these classics can deliver. The floors, trunk, frame, etc. are all solid as the day I brought it up from Florida. There is only a slight bubble in the paint, smaller then a dime, on the sunroof, and if you get down on your hands and knees you can see where the front valance has scraped a parking block a few too many times. There has been several upgrades to this car like the poly bushings in the front end and the improved rear trans mount to eliminate vibration, just to name a few. The brakes have just been redone, including new rotors on the front and rear. This car is very dependable and ready to drive anywhere. The heat and a/c all work fine, windows and sunroof function as they should and the original radio comes with the security code should you ever need it. Only mechanical issues I know of is the fuel gauge on the right side fuel tank doesn't register but the tank and pump functions correctly, and the climate control is sometimes tempermental so I leave it on a/c mode as I only drive it in the summer months anyway. No puddles on the driveway or noises when it's running, this car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. Only reason I'm selling is that I'm getting up in age and it's time to let others enjoy some of my toys. Good luck in bidding and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Editor's Note: Our reporter was anxious to get some time behind the wheel of the XF Sportbrake, even though Jaguar only had a very small window available for us to drive it. As a result, we weren't able to capture our usual original images to go with the Quick Spin story. Please accept our regrets, and Jag's lovely stock photography, instead.
The last wagon attempt from Jaguar was the X-Type, built between 2003 and that model line's unceremonious end in 2009. That X-Type and its legacy represent a real dog of a chapter for Jaguar, and for the Halewood factory where the barker was built. It was the final joke told prior to the brand's proper rebirth phase - a phase we're enjoying the heck out of today.
Current magnanimous Jaguar owner Tata can be thanked for this new wagon, the XF Sportbrake. Like all newness coming from Jag these days, this new wagon also feels lightyears more serious an offering, ready to compete squarely with established premium wagon makers across Europe. A Jaguar wagon in America is a far-off priority for the company, frankly. Still we deserve to know what we're missing for the time being from this (sometimes overly) cherished British firm.
Jaguar C-X75 production run canceled
Tue, 11 Dec 2012"We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000-pound to 1 million-pound supercar."
Those words are from Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark, and as true as they may be, it still stings a little bit. After all, we've been looking forward to the Jaguar C-X75 ever since word came from Jolly Olde that it was green-lit for a short production run.
Some of the cool bits and pieces the world will now be without: a powerful but relatively miserly 1.6-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, two electric motors driving all four wheels and a carbon fiber chassis developed by Williams F1. Sigh.
Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun gets a Jaguar F-Type
Sun, 12 May 2013The Jaguar F-Type is slinking its way into vastly divergent corners of the celebrity world. Lana del Rey is its songstress, Englishman-playing-American-terrorist Damien Lewis lead its cinematic debut in Desire, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick gets the athletic endorsement, and now it's just been driven behind the "Adults Only" doors at the Playboy Mansion: Raquel Pomplun was gifted a year's use of an F-Type for being named 2013 Playmate of the Year.
There's a video below of Pomplun and her F-Type getting 'camera ready,' and a press release below that in case you want to, you know, "read the article."
