2010 Jaguar Xj8 on 2040-cars
Coolidge, Texas, United States
Just email me at: chelsieckkerwin@britishforces.com .
Beautiful Claret Red XJ Portfolio with Light beige interior, low miles - only 30,300 miles.
Tires are all excellent having covered only about 3000 miles since fitting a complete set of new Pirelli's.
Extremely clean car inside and out, even the drivers seat looks unworn. Non Smoker. Wheels are in excellent
condition.
Fitted with Stainless Steel tail pipes by "Mina Gallery" (4 outlets) - looks much better, and sounds much nicer
without being intrusive. (lots of comments re the beautiful sound etc. - cost almost $1000)
(The standard tail pipes are available if required) K&N Air filters.
Body color grille surround, and black lower grille (I have the original chrome grilles if required)
All the normal refinements for this model, and all in good working order.
The only defects are as noted above - just being honest, they are all easy and cheap paint shop fixes!!
This car is one of the very early production models and was first registered in 2010, even tho' the model 's
official introduction was not until 2011.
Jaguar were very careful to make sure the early models were right, with no problems - this has been obvious to me,
since I have had no problems at all with the car (unlike two newer versions I've owned, both of which had problems
with the rear air suspension.)
Yes it is the standard version (not the L) - these handle much better than the LWB models!
This Jag is without doubt the best Jag I've owned!!
Will try to post some better pics later - due to some birds catching me out!!

Jaguar rolls out 2014 XJ updates
Tue, 20 Aug 2013It may be an uphill battle with Mercedes-Benz having rolled out its all-new S-Class, but in an effort to entice more customers towards its flagship sedan, Jaguar has announced a series of enhancements for the XJ.
A number of upgrades aim to make the long-wheelbase model that much more accommodating, with new airline-style rear seats that recline, massage and optimize the headroom in the back. The rear suspension has also been recalibrated for comfort, and there's a new optional Meridian sound system with a Conversation Assist feature that uses microphones in the headliner to pick up occupants' voices and pipe them through the speakers to support the art of conversation in motion.
The engine range carries over unchanged, but each engine is now mated to an eight-speed automatic with an available stop/start system which Jaguar says takes less time to restart the engine than it takes for the driver to move his or her right foot from brake to gas. Full details in the press release below.
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
