1999 Jaguar Xk8 Base Convertible 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Renfrew, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Very low mileage beautiful 1999 XK8 convertible in dark blue with matching blue cloth top and off-white leather interior. Everything works, 8-way power driver and passenger seats, two position seat memory switch, 6 disc CD changer, auto climate control, cruise, 5 speed auto and "J" gate, adaptive power steering, and of course, power windows and mirrors. Seats are in great condition, no splits, rips, tears or abraded areas. Beautiful burl walnut veneer dash. I have replaced the auto-dim rear view mirror as the original had discolored. I also updated the cam chain tensioners to metal and added top hydraulic pressure reducer resistance. Top hoses have never burst, just insurance to prevent the possibility. There is a tiny door ding in the right rear fender that is visible if you look for it and the light is right, it didn't break the paint though. There's a scratch in the plastic plinth above the licenses plate where you normally lift the boot but, again, you have to look for it. Body is otherwise in immaculate shape. Continental DWS tires have 6K on them and wear indicators still show 100%, new brake pads last year, low beams updated to HID. Two keys and remote fobs and original owners manuals. Top is in excellent condition with no apparent wear or stains. Even the retractable cupholder works as designed. Fresh oil and filter (7 qts Syntec). Overall average of 20.9 mpg in mixed driving with mid-grade petrol. Exhaust has been modified to give a low burble at idle and a little bit of growl when accelerating but is silent at cruise. The total silence of the standard exhaust was annoying. Original spare still in trunk.

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
Jaguar builds F-Type to support Tour de France team [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014The Tour de France is typically a two-wheeled affair, dominated by cyclists yearning to capture the prestigious yellow jersey. While the 2014 event winds its way through Europe, Stage 20 will see an altogether different conveyance wind along the route between Bergerac and Périgueux - the Jaguar F-Type Coupe.
As part of its partnership with the British cyclists of Team Sky, Jag has enlisted its new Special Operations division to build a one-off F-Type Coupe, based on the 550-horsepower, supercharged R model.
SpecOps has removed the rear glass and come up with a creative solution to mount a pair of Team Sky's racing cycles in the back. Aside from that upgrade, the cabin boasts new upholstery in the colors of Team Sky's traditional livery. A separate power supply has been established below the bikes in what's left of the trunk, which provides juice for a set of radios and microphones, so that the team's director can communicate with the riders.
