2000 Jaguar Xjr, Supercharged 370 Hp V-8, Upgraded Tensioners, Tons Of New Parts on 2040-cars
Lansdale, Pennsylvania, United States
|
2000 Jaguar XJR 4.0L Supercharged V-8, 370 hp/387 lb.-ft. torque, 0-60 ~5 sec., top speed (electronically limited) 155 mph. This (when new) $70,000 car was the fastest regular production sedan in the world for a couple years until is was eventually dethroned by BMW's M5, but even by contemporary standards hold up quite nicely in the performance department and is by all measure still a luxury rocket. This is a truly special automobile that must be driven and experienced to be appreciated. If you don't already, sliding in behind the wheel and standing on the accelerator will make you feel like a King. I used to have a Porsche 993 Carrera, and this is at least as quick. Unlike most XJRs you will find, I have spent a great deal of money (@$3,500 in the last 18 months) in repairs, upgrades and maintenance. I have all the receipts. This car has no check engine or warning lights. The most important work was the most recent repair which was the upgrade from the Mk II (marginally better than Mk I) series tensioners, to the robust, all-metal tensioners. This was nearly $2k alone and has about 50 miles since this was done. Before that numerous beneath-the-supercharger sensors were replaced, as well as all new ceramic brakes and new cross-drilled, slotted rotors (in the front), and a rebuilt ABS control module with a lifetime warranty. Essentially, during my ownership, this car was my baby. Whatever it needed, it received, and I gave it the best that was available, including service by expertly trained mechanics. I only ever used Castrol fully synthetic oil. The engine runs very strong, and the transmission is the terrific Mercedes-Benz-sourced (as used in their V-8 AMG cars), robustly constructed (essentially bulletproof) 5-speed automatic with J-Gate "Randle Handle" shifter. The car is the most beautiful color available (in my opinion), Carnival Red with Oatmeal Connolly Leather interior. Obviously, it has variable ratio power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, power windows, with driver express down, power central locking system with remote entry, automatic climate control (including rear heat & a/c), power tilt/sliding sunroof, dual power heated seats (10-way driver w/ dual memory, and I believe 8-way passenger), rear heated seats, power mirrors, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power trunk release, AM/FM Stereo Cassette w/ 6-disc CD changer in trunk & GPS Navigation system, satellite radio antenna wired in, 18" alloy wheels with very good matching tires, traction control, and I have the original factory owners manuals, folder, Nav CD-ROM, original spare, jack, tools and two keys. I can't even think of what else to put at this time. Basically, aside from a few minor flaws, as mentioned in the details section, this is a car that needs nothing. Fly in, drive home. It is a beautiful, impressive car at a stupid-low give away price. The only reason I am selling it is because I originally wanted an XK8/R (convertible) and my wife opined for a sedan, that she subsequently decided she doesn't like to drive so we bought another car that we both like to drive, and I have a host of other cars as well, so something has to go. It has been garaged through my entire ownership and not to be overlooked was a Florida car its whole life until last year when we moved to PA. So the undercarriage is clean and rust-free. It has never seen salt/snow etc. One final detail: I do have a loan on this car, so that will need to be paid off. I have done this before, don't fret it is a piece of cake. I will have bank confirmation for you that they will send you the title. If you are looking for an XJR, this is one of the cheapest ones in the country. And it is NOT a project car, nor is it the '97-9 problematic money eaters. Live life, buy this car, have no regrets! |

Seven-figure cars highlight day one of RM's Monterey auction
Sat, 17 Aug 2013RM Auctions is one of several houses holding auctions during the Monterey weekend, and Friday night's festivities got quite pricey. Seven-figure vehicles were not at all uncommon during the first day of the two-day event, with the 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider, seen above, crossing the block for $9,075,000.
Other big earners included a pair of rare Ferraris, a 1950 166 MM Barchetta and a 1955 750 Monza Spider, which took $3,080,000 and $4,070,000, respectively. Outside of the red Italians, a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special captured $7,480,000 while a stunning, color-appropriate 1955 Jaguar D-Type took $3,850,000. We've got images of these vehicles, and a few other stunning examples of last night's auction, in the gallery above.
Thought it seems impossible, tonight's auction is expected to see even more high-dollar action. The winner of the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours, a 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Torpedo Roadster is expected to command over $10 million. Also crossing the block will be a car we reported on a few weeks back - a supremely rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder. One of only 10 in the world, it's expected to take anywhere from $14 to $17 million when it hits the stage tonight.
Jaguar design boss Callum reinterprets classic Mark 2 for himself [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014As the man behind the styling of basically every Jaguar since the mid 2000s, two things should be known about Ian Callum - he's a big fan of the brand, and he can bloody well get whatever kind of Jag he wants.
His newest car, though, is not what you might expect. Rather than an F-Type or an XJ, Callum has gone old school, and commissioned a custom, resto-modded Jaguar Mark 2.
Designed by Callum and built by Classic Motor Cars in Shropshire, England, the Mark 2 was an 18-month project between the designer and the garage. The essentially new car draws its power from a 4.3-liter engine that's been pilfered and modified from an XK. It's mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
