Offered for sale is a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible

98987 Miles

This Jaguar is a great looking car with the paint in great condition. It seems to of always been an inside car as there is no sun damage to any of the paint, dash, convertible top, or leather. It runs and drives great with effortless amounts of power. The two front tires have wear and are nearing the end of their lives and causes some vibration. The interior is in great shape with no major rips or stains. There is some age related ware and a small split along a seem on the bottom of the drivers seat. please see photos. A set of real sheep skin seat covers is included with the car in this auction.

The convertible top is in excellent shape with no rips. the back glass window is also in good shape and the top doesn't leak when the car is washed! The power top moves quickly and quietly. All power windows and seats are functional. The radio has been upgraded to a CD player but the original is avalible in the truck. The Climate control operates as it should, the lcd screen can be hard to read at times depending on the temperature out side. The AC doesn't blow cold constantly. I have only had it come on once. There is NO check engine light and NO air bag lights on while the car is running. All the lights come on upon start up of the car and then go off just as they are intended to do.

Under the hood all fluids are full and appear to be the colors that they should be. I have also been told that the bakes are in good shape as they have lots of pad left. When you put the car in park there is a sensor that tells the computer it is in park. This sensor often is unable to tell and it makes a beep when you exit the car. The beeping stops in a few seconds. It does not cause any other issues as the car is in park, It just beeps to tell you that you may not be as you exit the car.

This car is titled in my name and holds a rebuilt Nevada title. I received this car as a form of payment from a client so my knowledge of the car is fairly limited. it lived in his garage for many years and he rarely drove it. I have driven it from California and around Vegas without any problems. It seems to be a great car and just needs a new owner. I am not an expert on cars so I hope i have described everything. I hope the photos speak for them selves. Please contact me with any additional questions.

PLEASE NOTE:

A bid is a commitment to buy, not a conditional offer. If you bid and win, the car is yours! Any non paying bidders will be turned over to E bay.

A $500 Deposit is required via money transfer or pay pal within 24 hours of auction close. NO exceptions.

Pick up is with in 1 week of action close. unless previously discussed. After one week there will a daily charge for storage and insurance.

I have described the car to the best of my abilities. However it is a used car. All inspection must be done prior to auction end.

Best of luck! She is a great car!

The Jaguar XJR-15 is a 215 mph, barely-legal road car that's for sale

Tue, Feb 7 2017

The late 1980s and early 1990s were awash with supercars from automakers across the globe. Classic Driver in the UK is selling one of the rarest of all of these supercars, the road-going racecar that is the Jaguar XJR-15. The XJR-15 is the lesser known sibling of the Jaguar XJ220. Only 27 were ever built. The XJ220 may not have received the same recognition and reverence as the Ferrari F40, the Porsche 959, and the McLaren F1, but for a time it held the record for the fastest road-going automobile, 217.1 mph. All of the XJ220's engineering and prowess is owed to the development of the XJR-15, which in turn owes everything to driver Tom Walkinshaw and his experience in touring and Le Mans racecars. Unlike the twin-turbocharged XJ220, the XJR-15 features a big, naturally-aspirated V12 that turned out 450 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine has a dry sump oil system, a Cosworth forged crankshaft, connecting rods, aluminum pistons, and fuel delivery from a Zytec electronically controlled sequential fuel injection system. The engine is mated to a five-speed transaxle from Tom Walkinshaw Racing, while the suspension - fabricated wishbones and horizontal pushrod-spring dampers at the front and coil springs at the rear - is pulled straight from the XJR-9 racecar. At the time, the car was capable of hitting 60 mph in under four seconds and topped out at 215 mph, just shy of the mark later set by the Jaguar XJ220. The XJR-15 was also the first road car to make extensive use of carbon fiber. In fact, at 2,315 lbs, the car's listed weight is less than that of a new ND Mazda Miata. The body was designed by future McLaren F1 engineer Peter Stevens. While the McLaren and Porsche were more complete and well rounded machines, the XJR-15 was a bare bones, uncompromised track machine. The interior was barely more than a carbon tub fitted with a pair of one-piece seats. The car in this listing is chassis number 21 and only has 1,400 miles on the odometer. Some minor modifications to the hinges allow the hood and engine cover to be quickly and easily opened. The car is listed for GBP450,000, or about $560,000. Not cheap, but what rare, early 1990s supercar is? Related Video: News Source: Classic Driver via Car Buzz Jaguar Coupe Performance ferrari f40 jaguar xj220

Jay Leno hits the road in a 1951 Jaguar XK 120 Hot Rod

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The 1951 Jaguar XK120 featured in this episode of Jay Leno's Garage might look vaguely like a classic Jag roadster at first, but underneath this cat is something completely different. It was built by Leno's buddy Jason Len of XK's Unlimited when he grew tired of keeping these convertibles stock, and this aluminum-bodied beast was the result. Practically the only major Jaguar part left is the engine. It's a tuned 3.8-liter inline six from an E-Type with Weber carbs that makes an estimated 300 horsepower out of some gorgeous side-exit exhausts. The mill is backed up to a BorgWarner five-speed manual. However, the big surprise is the chassis. In place of Jag's original solution, Len has a custom tubular space frame that he claims sheds some 1,000 pounds over the stock example. There are still some classic Jaguar touches left, though, such as the fin over the driver's head that is reminiscent of the D-Type, and both the wheels and gauges are replicas based on that classic racer. Of course the best part is watching Jay drive this Jag hot rod. This big cat really knows how to purr.
