2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas Sc Supercharged Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Holland, Michigan, United States
|
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!!!!! See http://www.kbb.com/jaguar/xj-series/2003-jaguar-xj-series/xj-super-sedan-4d/?vehicleid=2593&intent=buy-used&mileage=140000 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 E-Type 60 Collection celebrates 1961 launch and The Decade of the Cat
Thu, Aug 13 2020The night before the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar PR man Bob Berry drove "flat out" from the English automaker's home base in Coventry to the city on the lake. Berry needed to be at the Parc des Eaux Vives in time to debut the car he was driving, a Jaguar E-Type coupe in Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with the number plate 9600 HP. Legend says he arrived at the Parc only minutes ahead of the appointed time for test drives. That morning hinted, and the decade of the 1960s would prove, that Berry also arrived driving a legend. The invited guests did so much clucking over the hardtop that Jaguar boss Sir William Lyons told famed company engineer Norman Dewis to "drop everything" and dispatch another cat to Geneva that very night. Dewis drove the roughly 700 miles in 11 hours to get a British Racing Green E-Type roadster with the number plate 77 RW to the show the following morning. To celebrate those two totems to Englishness and success, Jaguar Classic will build the E-Type 60 Collection — 12 cars sold only as six sets of two, with one coupe and one roadster in each set. All cars will be powered by rebuilt 3.8-liter straight-sixes with 265 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That motor took the show cars from zero to 60 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds, on to a top speed of 150 mph. The coupes will be painted Flat Out Grey, the roadsters in Drop Everything Green, unique colors reserved for the collection. The dozen cars will also get special design details penned by Jaguar design director Julian Thompson. Jaguar Classic already has the 12 E-Type Series 1 donor cars in its possession, and plans to begin restorations in March 2021. Jaguar hasn't mentioned pricing, and likely won't unless you intend to purchase. Seeing as a Jaguar Classic E-Type Reborn was priced at $355,000 three years ago, multiply that by two and add a touch for inflation and exclusivity for an approximate base price. If you're still interested, the E-Type 60 Collection is available to order now, so contact Jaguar Classic.Â
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Reliving the Jaguar XJ220 with a father-son duo
Sat, Mar 14 2015Jaguar may have canceled the C-X75 project, but there was a time when the Leaping Cat marque did make supercars. Sure, there were the XJR-9 and XJR-15 homologation specials made by TWR, but more famous was the XJ220. Although its reign may have lasted only a year before the McLaren F1 came along, for a brief time in the early 1990s, the XJ220 was the fastest car in the world – which is even more impressive when you consider that it was only powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 when its rivals were using mostly V8s and V12s. That makes the XJ220 a rather noteworthy supercar from the dawn of the 200-mph era. The thing is, while Jaguar has come to embrace the XJ220 as an exceptional part of its history, it doesn't have the time or energy to devote to servicing the 275 that were made between 1992 and 1994. So it turns to Don Law Racing. The father-son team – made up of a master mechanic and his hot-shoe offspring – is tasked with keeping the XJ220 alive both in body and in spirit, and do so with a great deal of well-deserved pride. Drive went out to their workshop in Staffordshire to tell their story.
