This is a no reserve auction for a used well crafted and mechanically reliable 2001 Silver Jaguar XJR supercharged. The car has 77,000 original highway miles and is in good mechanical and electrical condition for its age. The car is located in Calexico, CA (122 miles East of San Diego). This car is a perfect blend of heritage and technology. There's no little irony in the fact that Jaguar marked the Lyons centennial by taking 35 years to make its best sedan ever. Party gear includes a silver metallic paint color and a full black leather interior, with perforated seat surfaces, leather steering wheel, door panels and central console. You'll also find acres of nice wood on the dash, door surfaces and console. The dancing shoes are Continental on a special 17-inchalloy wheels. The balance of the ambiance includes a premium nine-speaker Alpine sound system with trunk-mounted CD changer, automatic climate control, power memory tilt-and-telescoping steering column, 12-way adjustable driver's seat with three-position memory, electrochromatic rearview mirrors, trip computer and front cupholders. And yes, one does feel pampered inside the XJR because the 4.0-liter, 370-bhp, supercharged, intercooled V-8 is quite the secret weapon. Consider passing maneuvers. With 387 lb-ft of torque available at 3600 rpm, the senses are flooded and pokey drivers comprehensively dispatched when you floor the throttle--you are shoved back into the seats, passing scenery blurs, the Roots-type blower whines and the V-8 roars. You signal, return to your lane and the whole episode is over in an instant, and the car you passed is but a receding dot in the rearview mirror. The engine is mated to an electronically controlled five-speed automatic, creating a drivetrain that the press kit describes as "entertaining but refined" with typical British understatement. Astonishing is what I'd call it. Maneuvering is surprisingly effortless, steering feedback from the variably assisted rack-and-pinion unit, superb. 2001 Jaguar XJR Specs.
