I Excellent example of the Mark IV. The pictures tell the story. Older paint job, with a few baubles here and
there but an overall nice appearance. Runs great, fires up on first push of starter button after applying some
spark advance. Holds 40 pounds oil pressure on idle. Everything works, lights, horn and gauges. Even the side
semaphore flippers (trafficators) pop out when the turn signal is turned on. Very impressive. I believe the
headlight lenses are from a Rolls Royce, but I have the two cracked originals. The Windshield cranks out okay, but
the seal is rough. Sunroof opens and closes nicely. The interior wood is original and the upholstery has been
redone. Seat frames and hardware are original. All in excellent condition. Seats are very comfortable with back
center armrest. Front seats adjustments work. Wood on doors and dash is excellent for it's age with a few cracks.
Headliner is very nice and could be the original. Windows crank up and down easily. Floors are solid, underneath
looks good. Frame shows no problems. I did have to recondition the front shock links, but the shocks (front and
rear) are in nice operating condition. The car had been stored in a Florida garage for several years and I had to
replace the fuel tank (hard to find and pricey) and clean out the lines. Also rebuilt one of the fuel pumps and
cleaned and tuned the carbs. The motor was overhauled (as evidenced by new freeze plugs) by a previous owner, but
I have no paperwork to show what was done. She runs down the road smoothly with all gears working properly and
brakes doing a good job. I have only driven this car short distances around home, so don't know how it would
perform on a long distance run. I believe one would just have to be patient. The chrome could use some attention
as it is becoming pitted and lacks original luster, but it is all there. Tool box cover has been renewed and looks
very nice. I do not have the tools. Actual mileage is unknown.

Jaguar XE spied flying over London
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake is one hot hauler
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Oh look, another super-hot wagon that won't be making its way to the US. Awesome.
Actually, in all honesty, it really is awesome. Meet the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a red-hot (or blue-hot?) version of the rakish XF wagon that originally bowed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012. The formula here is pretty much plug-and-play: take the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XFR-S and shove it in the wagon body, and add all of the necessary visual flair fitting of a properly powerful Jag. The end result is an estate that packs 542 horsepower, 502 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 4.6 seconds. Meow.
This Jaguar joins a growing segment of ultra-hot wagons in Europe, rounded out by offerings like the Audi RS6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG longroof - the latter of which you can actually buy in North America. Sounds like the sort of comparison test we'd love to facilitate. Guess we'll have to leave that to our friends at Autocar, though.
