Extremely rare manual gearbox in a Series 3 coupe is not only impossible to find but is an amazing car to drive
with a 12 cylinder engine. Almost all series 3 coupes are automatic transmissions! This maybe why we don't hear
how great the manual coupe is to drive; because you can't find any manual coupes ( particularly in good condition
). Driving this powerful V12 coupe with manual shift reminds me of a vintage Ferrari GT, or a great gran touring
car the past.
Coming out of a private collection, this car is "piece of history" well preserved in original
condition, never restored, never had rust issues but painted once for cosmetics, never wreaked or taken apart,
always garaged and maintained. The previous two owners left car show plaques dating back as far as 1984 , both
owners were enthusiast showing the car in shows. I think am 3rd owner ? For a brief period.
30,955 original miles, well maintained condition speaks for itself, engine is
excellent,'sycros'/trans./clutch shifts excellent;the car runs and drives as it should. Interior is excellent
original condition, leather is soft with nice color and just a little patina on driver's seat to give the leather
some tasteful character. Original radio,original carpeting, and head liner all excellent.
This car is honest with nothing hidden under the paint ,nor has it been detailed by professionals to
look better on the pictures. It has a great body and the undercarriage super clean almost like it came from the
factory. Because the car is an older repaint it is very honest but there is some paint checking under the rear
bumper on both sides and in a few other spots, but even so the paint was a great show quality paint job when done
years ago. Now the paint needs touched up in these spots, I didn't have it done for fear a buyer may think recent
paint work is to hide problems. I have included a can of the original touch up lacquer that will match perfectly (
lacquer blends easily ) I was quoted $300. by a painter to do the job, but I know will cost more. I almost forgot
the tires have 1600 miles on them,no dry rot. a/c will need serviced, but will be nothing to worry about..
"Cars are only original once....after people take them apart they,re just not the same."

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Jaguar F-Type greets US, shows off range of personalization
Thu, 29 Nov 2012While the debut of the XFR-S is likely fresh on everyone's minds and browser windows, the other big story of late at Jaguar is the F-Type coupe and convertible. Originally unveiled in Paris, the LA show was the first opportunity that the sub-XK performance machine will be seen Stateside. However, it was not just the same news that we first heard in Paris, as Jaguar used LA to showcase its newly available "Black" design pack.
This styling package includes gloss black finishes for the grill surround, side vents, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, gloss black interior touches, and instrument panel rings. This package is available with Ultimate Black, Polaris White, Italian Racing Red, Rhodium Silver, Grey and Firesand (seen above) body colors.
The Black pack can be had on either the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 model, or the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 version. Specific additional "Black" tweaks are available based on which derivative you select. Specifically, a gloss-black rear valence is a V6-only modification.
Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start
Fri, 31 May 2013As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.
