The best of both worlds.  British class, lays rubber in third gear. 

A very careful, documented conversion, no cutting or welding, no expense spared ($32,153). 

The original 4.2L engine and 4 sp transmission come with the car should you ever want to return to original.  The original engine was completely rebuilt and run for 15k miles before storing it. 

The second owner (a cable CEO) purchased the car at 40k miles and converted it.  I’m the third owner.  76,378 total California miles on the car.

Repainted once with great care, body and chrome an 8.5-9.0 overall.  Body has never been hit.  Zero rust, hasn’t been driven on a wet road since I bought it.   

New interior.  Modern Dunlop wheels; tires very good (no visible wear, some light checking). 

What’s wrong with the car:  Wipers don’t work.  Speedometer needle wavers, should be rebuilt.  A small (1/2”) ding in the bonnet.    A short (1/2”) tear in the top repaired from the inside -- top is otherwise excellent, with a clear and unscratched backlight.  

School tuitions force sale.  An immaculate, reliable and immensely enjoyable car.  Unbelievable acceleration.  You will not be disappointed. 

Cash or bank wire only.  No dealers, please.

Jaguar C-X17 rides high into Frankfurt

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

After enviously watching its competitors rake in piles of crossover-shaped dollars for years, Jaguar is poised to get into the game with a production model based on this C-X17 concept. While the British brand hasn't officially confirmed it will sell a utility vehicle - indeed, brand fans and industry watchers have wondered whether the Leaping Cat even need to get into the game considering its corporate cousins at Land Rover - we would be dumbfounded if it didn't happen in short order.
We've always been concerned that Jaguar's styling language wouldn't translate well to a high-riding shape, but here at its Frankfurt Motor Show debut, the C-X17 comes off as quite handsome (if predictable) in the metal. The same couldn't always be said of Jag's styling DNA, but newer models beginning with the XF and the XJ have introduced design elements like a larger, more vertical grille that suit the C-X17's form factor exceedingly well. Even the rear end successfully borrows its taillamp design from the glorious new F-Type Roadster.
Underneath the concept's two-box shape is a new aluminum unibody that Jag says it is poised to employ on its next-generation models, including the long-expected midsize sedan coming to North America in 2016. Jaguar has long been a leader in aluminum chassis development even as it has struggled to take weight out of some of its vehicles (the F-Type, for instance, isn't exactly lightweight). Thus far, Jaguar isn't talking powertrains other than to say it will employ a new generation of gas and diesel engines.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe patent images exposed, 4-cyl coming?

Fri, 03 May 2013

Last year, Jaguar told us that "if you get a convertible right, it's easy to do a coupe" in reference to a coupe version of the Jaguar F-Type, and now we might be seeing our first unofficial look at a hardtop version of the convertible. The German publication Auto Motor und Sport has dug up what it is reporting to be patent images filed by Jaguar showing the lines of the new coupe.
If these are actually patent drawings, they have definitely been enhanced with color and shadowing compared to what we usually see from OEM patent filings. We wouldn't be surprised if they are just altered images of Jaguar's C-X16 Concept, but either way, it's going to be a sharp car. On top of the new coupe, the article also says that the F-Type could be getting the same 240-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is currently used in the Jaguar XF, as well as the Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque.
