A 1976 Jaguar XJ-S was originally supposed to be a grand touring coupe with a silky V12, leather, walnut, and enough British complexity to keep a gentleman occupied between gin refills. This one has been cured with 440 cubic inches of Chrysler violence. The photos show a surprisingly clean exterior presentation: purple paint, widened rear […]
This is a Series 1 Jaguar XJ6, built from 1968 through 1973, which is the original and arguably prettiest version of Jaguar’s long-running XJ sedan. In stock form, the XJ6 used Jaguar’s XK inline-six and was known for its ride quality, quiet cabin, low roofline, and elegant proportions. This one has traded Coventry smoothness for […]
Today’s next feature is a seller submission from Jeff. The X150-generation Jaguar XK coupe, built from 2006 through 2014, was the second modern XK and the Ian Callum-designed follow-up to the earlier X100. By 2012, the XKR had evolved into a polished aluminum-bodied grand tourer with a long hood, low roof, rear-drive layout, and styling […]
The X100 generation Jaguar XK8 was launched for the 1997 model year with styling by Fergus Pollock (famous for his Supervan project while at Chrysler of Europe which eventually became the Renault Espace) under the leadership of Geoff Lawson (who spearheaded Jag’s design renaissance with cars like the XJ220, XJ Sedan, S-Type etc). The XK8 […]
The Jaguar XJS was introduced in the mid 1970s as the long term successor to the E Type, trading pure sports car simplicity for high speed grand touring comfort and advanced engineering. At its heart was Jaguar’s legendary 5.3 liter V12, a famously smooth but notoriously complex engine, making examples like this Hess & Eisenhardt […]
In the mid 1990s, before Jaguar went fully corporate and softened its edges, the XJR was its answer to the German super sedans. The X300 generation XJR took the XJ platform and added an Eaton supercharger to the 4.0 liter AJ16 inline six, producing 322 horsepower and serious midrange torque, all sent through a reinforced […]
The XK8 was Jaguar’s late-90s attempt to bottle classic E-Type proportions with modern civility, which mostly succeeded until the factory electrics inevitably staged a quiet protest, so swapping in an all-aluminum 6.0-liter LS feels less like sacrilege and more like preventive medicine. This one gets the full Commonwealth betrayal treatment with a Trick Flow cam, […]
Today’s next feature is a V12 powered Big Cat Jaaaaaaaaaaag that looks sleek and regal lounging in the sun, but you know deep down it’s capable of shredding your bank account faster than it shreds rear tires. Wrapped in glorious late-80s gold and rolling on period-correct Pirellis, this long-hooded lounge missile hides a 5.3-liter V12 […]
Ah yes, the Jaguar XJ6, or as the British like to call it, “a perfectly fine car until it stopped working twenty years ago.” For about 3 figures, you too can own this majestic pole-shed prince, a machine that’s been quietly fermenting in the dark while mice debated whether the leather was real. It’s brown […]
Everybody loves a good deal, but this Temu-inspired Jag is heinous. What you’re looking at is a Jaguar XK8 coupe that has been “art car’d” into an early grave with a coat of paint that looks like it was applied by kindergarteners at recess with a bucket of finger paints or worse… a coven of […]
