I am selling my 99 Jaguar XJR. I have moved and no longer have a garage for it; I don't drive it as much as I used to either, so it's time for it to find a new home with someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. I am not the original owner, I bought it here on ebay a few years back. When I got it the odometer read just a bit over 129k miles, it now has over 139k miles. I have mostly used the car for weekend trips and pleasure driving. I still drive it now a couple of times a week to keep it running well and working correctly. It is a bit dirty in the pics as I took them after using it for a couple of days. It will be washed and cleaned in and out for the new owner. It is a car that I have loved driving and have put a lot of work into.
I bought this car because I wanted this exact model-an XJR in black with black leather and burled walnut interior trim. To me, it is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. I bought a car that I could afford, it wasn't in mint condition. I wanted a driver, and it's a great one. One year after buying it, a coolant hose failed, the engine overheated, and I had to face repairing or replacing the engine. I took the car to Rich Edwards at Velocity Motorsports in Nashville TN, a very good import mechanic who came recommended to me by some other Jaguar owners. Rich hunted and sourced a complete 1999 engine that came out of a rear ended car that had been a pampered 1 owner auto, and the car had only travelled 11,000 miles since new. We purchased the engine and shipped it up from Alabama to Nashville. We then improved it during installation by replacing the problematic stock cam chain tensioners with later ones made of steel (the originals were a hard plastic, which failed on many cars, causing catastrophic failures). All pumps, hoses, and belts were replaced at that time. The car ran out fantastic after that, I have only put 7000 miles on since then (3 years) and it continues to run right. At that time, Rich also installed new door handle mechanisms, as the back doors would stick shut; Problem solved the doors have worked just fine ever since.
I just have completed several maintainance jobs and updates in the last month or two, this car is ready for driving pleasure! These were expertly perfomed by the staff of Bell Buckle Motor Works here near my home.
Newly rebuilt ABS braking module
New Transmission module, solonoids
New battery

New rear brake lines
It's a great car mechanically, but like any car this old, that has just been driven normally, it has some weak cosmetics and such. Nothing that detracts from the car's appeal much; It's an honest car, and a driver-so I have enjoyed it the way it is. If I hadn't moved to a place with no garage, and if I were driving it more-I'd fix all this stuff- but it's time for me to let the next fellow have a chance to enjoy the car, so I have priced it accordingly. Here's the issues I see.
Paint is original, and while it has a good color, it's needing paint work. The back bumper has some flaking, there are various small dings and such. Has some wear.
Interior-the headliner is hanging down a bit. I was just going to staple it up some, but I figured I had better not-the next owner may want to re-glue at an upholstery shop.
The wood is finished in real nitrocellulose lacquer, and it has some finish checks. I actually like these, as most vintage guitars and fine antique furniture will check over time. To me, it validates that these materials are the real deal.
The passenger sunvisor needs a new clip.
The rear window brake light needs glued back on to the glass. I may try some double sided tape for that.
The cigarette lighter does not work.
The driver's power seat occasionally blows a fuse and you can't move it around til you change it. Also the leather is good, except for the drivers seat, which has a crack and needs to be re-upholstered or replaced eventually.
The badges on the trunk lid need replaced, they are worn and chipped.
Someone snagged my original walnut shift knob-I put a black ash one on that I was able to find at a junk yard. It looks fine.
The cupholder springs are shot; These always do this. I always leave it open anyway, so no bother for my purposes.
I do not have the valet key. I never have, but valets have not had it to park since I have owned it.
Positive things about the car, the Stereo works and sounds great; the 6 CD changer in the trunk does the job and does not skip, electric antenna performs as it should, and the Harmon Kardon speakers are very nice sounding. The dash clock keeps time well.
A/C and climate control work as they should-so do the heated front seats. The sunroof works just fine, doesn't leak and seals nice and tight. All windows and locks work as they should.
Overall this car is very nice, and can be driven as is, no problem. It has lots of new parts and has had excellent care. I know what has gone into the car and will be glad to have anyone call and talk with me about it. Steering, brakes, engine, and transmission all work flawlessly, the car runs strong and straight; it handles and brakes the same way. With some cosmetic work it could be a stunner again (it is anyway, I get compliments from everyone on this car).
My name is Mark, I am proud of this old Jag, and I am selling it at a reasonable price. I have a clear title in hand. Please call me and I'll be glad to answer any questions. I have a job and kids, so calling will be best in the mornings, between 9 am and noon CST, when I am most free. The number is 615-613-3144. You can also message me here, that's fine as well. Thanks and good luck.

This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Jaguar buys world's largest collection of British cars
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Whether you're looking at Bertone going bankrupt or Spyker facing (and subsequently resolving) a large tax bill, it's saddening to see an automaker having to sell off its factory collection. That's why we're glad to report that there are still some acquiring historic vehicles from their pasts. Like Jaguar, which has just bought the largest private collection of classic British cars in the world.
The collection of 543 cars was painstakingly assembled by one James Hull, a British dentist with some 50 dental clinics to his name across the UK and who was keen to find the right buyer to take possession of his life's work and preserve it for years to come.
Of those 543 cars, the majority are of British origin, including over 130 Jaguars. The collection includes seven XK120s, several C- and D-Types, a rare XKSS, eight E-Types, thirty Mark-series Jaguar sedans, nineteen XJS coupes and convertibles, some twenty XJ sedans as well as some pre-war SS models and Swallow sidecars and coachbuilt specials from the company's early days. Among the many noteworthy examples are a rare SS100, an alloy-bodied XK120 and an MK X owned by company founder Sir William Lyons himself, as well as Winston Churchill's Austin, Elton John's Bentley, and racing driver and motorcycle rider Mike Hailwood's E-Type.
