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.

Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.

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.
