2000 Jaguar Xk8 Base Coupe 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
|
Named "ONE OF THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL VEHICLES EVER BUILT" by Motor Trend Magazine. This elegant coupe is one of only approximately 1800 to ever come to the States. It is easy to see that this beauty has been pampered from day 1. In addition, I had a well known Jaguar dealer fully service the car. Being a perfectionist, I then had an award winning shop set up the car for her next 100,000 miles. To sell a great car like this one, I think you should know the seller somewhat as well. I have had a great love for cars and trucks for over 60 years. Since 1982, I have built, customized, or restored 657 fine cars, trucks and SUV's. I have 6 cars in national museums. A Chevy SSR I built was named BEST IN THE WORLD by the General Motors team that actually designed the car for Chevrolet. I built a series of 25 commemorative vehicles as a tribute to my friend, automotive genius, Don Yenko. I am the only builder ever to have two cars featured in a single issue of Car Restomod Annual. In brief, I love cars and believe in striving for perfection. Please have a look at my website just to give you a better idea as to the car I offer now. yenko-wildfire.net This is a nice Jaguar!!! I wanted the car as close to new as possible. I had them perform all things preventative, including struts, shocks, knock sensors, wheel bearings, brakes, transmission, differential, and a thorough tuneup including plugs and wires. In short, I call it my 84 point inspection and correction of all things mechanical, electrical, functional and safety oriented. After all things were upgraded or completed, I am able to include a 36 month/unlimited mileage warranty through CARS. This Ultra-rare and pampered piece of rolling art has only 98,854 actual miles or less than 6800 miles per year! This car is the final descendant of the legendary E-Type and features Jaguars first use of an incomparable V8 engine with just under 300 HP. The power is there. The handling is exhilirating and in my latest 2400 mile "test drive", I got 24.9 mpg AND that's with my lead foot. The major negative for this vaunted speciman is that it may take up to 10 minutes to fill the gas tank........3 minutes to fill it and 7 minutes to field comments and questions from interested parties. A hoot to drive and ready for the road course or concourse. Lovely piece of road art that you won't pass on the highway like your Corvette, Mercedes or BMW. A very realistic reserve lets you own this wonderful car for well under its true value and its neo-classic increasing value. Glad to answer your inquiries at 814-229-3402 or billrea33@comcast.net The car resides most of the time near Dallas, Tx. Shipping is possible. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I am advertising the car locally. The first person to see and drive her will definitely be the next owner. |

2014 Jaguar XJR
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Jaguar In Its Purest Form
Jaguar has spent a lot of time, money and engineering effort refocusing itself for the modern world. In 2006, the current XK replaced the former XK8 and introduced a new aluminum-intensive chassis architecture to Jaguar's portfolio, and two years later, the XF whipped up a similar overhaul to its classical styling department.
The next major revision came in 2009, with the introduction of the achingly attractive and completely new XJ sedan, and this step struck us as the biggest improvement yet; not only was Jaguar's flagship built atop a cutting-edge platform, it boasted a newfound sense of style that pointed toward the future while still echoing the brand's storied past. This trend has continued most recently with the two-door F-Type that we've already grown quite fond of.
This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
Jaguar launches new classic racing series
Fri, 14 Nov 2014One-make racing series have become all the rage for customers who want to actually race their exotic sports cars (or competition-spec versions of them, anyway). Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Aston Martin all offer such programs, and Porsche supports several. Now Jaguar is getting in on the action as well, but instead of turning one of its production models - we're looking at you, F-Type - into a spec racer, it's launching an historic racing series instead.
The 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge will be open to cars made by the Leaping Cat marque before 1966, including the C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and Mk I and MkII sedans. The series, which builds on the success of the previous Jaguar E-Type Challenge, will be administered by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) based at Silverstone and will include four races in the UK and one in Europe, with the exact schedule still to be determined.
The program was announced at the launch of the Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience, where Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations director John Edwards was also named chairman of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, replacing former Jaguar managing director Mike O'Driscoll who chaired the organization for the past five years.
