I Excellent example of the Mark IV. The pictures tell the story. Older paint job, with a few baubles here and
there but an overall nice appearance. Runs great, fires up on first push of starter button after applying some
spark advance. Holds 40 pounds oil pressure on idle. Everything works, lights, horn and gauges. Even the side
semaphore flippers (trafficators) pop out when the turn signal is turned on. Very impressive. I believe the
headlight lenses are from a Rolls Royce, but I have the two cracked originals. The Windshield cranks out okay, but
the seal is rough. Sunroof opens and closes nicely. The interior wood is original and the upholstery has been
redone. Seat frames and hardware are original. All in excellent condition. Seats are very comfortable with back
center armrest. Front seats adjustments work. Wood on doors and dash is excellent for it's age with a few cracks.
Headliner is very nice and could be the original. Windows crank up and down easily. Floors are solid, underneath
looks good. Frame shows no problems. I did have to recondition the front shock links, but the shocks (front and
rear) are in nice operating condition. The car had been stored in a Florida garage for several years and I had to
replace the fuel tank (hard to find and pricey) and clean out the lines. Also rebuilt one of the fuel pumps and
cleaned and tuned the carbs. The motor was overhauled (as evidenced by new freeze plugs) by a previous owner, but
I have no paperwork to show what was done. She runs down the road smoothly with all gears working properly and
brakes doing a good job. I have only driven this car short distances around home, so don't know how it would
perform on a long distance run. I believe one would just have to be patient. The chrome could use some attention
as it is becoming pitted and lacks original luster, but it is all there. Tool box cover has been renewed and looks
very nice. I do not have the tools. Actual mileage is unknown.

Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
