1995 Jaguar Xjr Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars

I've decided to sell my XJR reluctantly, as I'm moving to a new house and have many other vehicles I'm going to have to transport.

I bought this car as a non runner and have spent over $2000 getting it to run and drive. And I was driving it around for a while. New parts include: 2 new fuel pumps, crank position sensor, cam sensor, MAF sensor ($350), 6 brand new injectors ($520), new front struts, air, fuel and oil filters, fuel pump relays, ignition relays... The list goes on. Plus I have a number of parts that are still in the box that will go with the car.

Once I got the car running and driving I found out it had a bad steering rack and it needed a couple of new ignition coils, as it would occasional misfire then run normally again, and I traced this to bad coils... That was as far as I got.

The car currently doesn't have a steering rack on it, although I do have the old one that can go back on it. It literally takes about 30 mins to fit, it's only 6 bolts. but this one has badly bent inner tie rods.

Apart from all that stuff it's a good solid car. The engine and transmission are very strong and the engine sounds really nice. The exhaust system is nearly new, and the transmission was serviced recently.

The interior of the car isn't amazing. The leather seats are worn and the driver's seat is torn on the upper left side. And the passenger seat has a tear. Also the sunroof seal is shot, so I've put duct tape on it to seal it. Everything works though, all the windows roll down, the Karman Hardon sound system is incredible!

The body is fair, it was a California car so absolutely no rust. It does have dings and scratches here and there but most of them will polish out I would think. The passenger rear door has a bumper scuff on it.

The windshield is cracked. And the car has a rebuilt title, as it was driven over a pot hole and it tore up the suspension and the insurance company paid it off, then the guy bought it back from them as far as I know.

All in all this will make a nice car with minimal work. And it will be a daily driver with 2 ignition coils and a steering rack, which you can get on here for under $400.

Thanks for looking!

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.

Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start

Fri, 31 May 2013

As 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.
