Jaguar Xj8 In Good Condition 164,900 Miles No Maintenence Missed on 2040-cars
Hanover, New Hampshire, United States
I am the second owner and bought it at ~80k miles. The first owner did all dealer maintenance. I used a good mechanic.We both kept her garaged and performed regular maintenance. I have all my receipts. I have to sell her because I have a baby girl and must get a four wheel car for New England winters. I am uncertain about how much the transmission issue will cost to fix. Could be a fluid change, could be a new transmission. The transmission slips substantively in reverse, first, and second gear. The engine oscillates plus and minus ~50 RPM in certain running conditions. This the perfect car for someone who knows enough to understand the problem, address it, and enjoy a gem. I had this throughout my bachelor days and loved driving her. Even after 4+hour car rides, you get out feeling human and wanting more. She loves highways, but can get up our snowy hill with modest snow. Body is clean. I know of no body damage, ever. Snow studs have ~1k miles. Three summer tires available. Light tan leather interior is clean. Engine sounds great and accelerates with immense power. Suspension is super smooth. HVAC works well, hot and cold. Heated seats in front. Seat adjustments work. Interior smells good. Trunk is clean. Spare rim functions, but has some substantive damage to holes for lugs. All dials, mirrors, indicators, and controls function. Radio and CD. CD changer in trunk. Bluetooth installed with speaker phone. Sound system sounds crisp. I am interested in selling her to someone with a plan to get the most from her. She needs a capable owner, not a bottom feeder or someone who doesn't understand Jaguars. Serious inquiries only please. Most of what I know is in the pictures.

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.

40th Jaguar E-Type ever made sells at auction for lb88k
Wed, 30 Oct 2013The 40th Jaguar E-Type ever built, a right-hand-drive 1961 model, hit the auction block and was bought by an anonymous British buyer for 88,000 pounds ($141,310), ITV reports. The Jaguar had been stored at the previous owner's estate, in dry storage, at a derelict farm in Le Mans, France since July 1974.
E-Type chassis No. 860040 was bought by the previous owner in 1969 and was originally gray. But it was driven home to France and painted it in its current aubergine in 1974, before it was put into storage. During that time it was considered missing by experts, but there it sat under a dust sheet car cover for most of its life, so the body is in good condition. The family mechanic said that the car was last started about five years ago, and the engine recently was turned over. Coys auction house describes the original interior, which is also preserved well, as a "time warp."
Chris Routledge of Coys before the auction said, "They're sort of a mythical beast for enthusiast, at the time they were all handmade on special order, so Jaguar collectors look at the first 100 cars in a different way," BBC News reports. He added, "We estimate it to be worth between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds (about $32,100 to $64,200) but our feedback from collectors and interest worldwide suggests it could sell for between 80,000 and 100,000 pounds (about $128,500 to $160,600)." Of course, his revised estimate was right on target.
