Jaguar XJ-R V8 Supercharged! 2004 Stunningly original in absolute near new condition! A stunning near new presenting 2004 Jaguar XJ-R finished in dark Slate grey with Dove grey leather interior. This is the V8 supercharged model and she flys! This is a 3 owner car with the most recent, a collector who used this Jaguar as his "car of choice" for commuting between Wisconsin and Florida (hence the miles). The car spent its winter months in Florida. The XJ-R is the top of the line of this "new generation" complete redesign, X-350 series Jaguar. The model was a vast improvement from the previous Jaguar sedan in that it was an all aluminium body and the design provided considerable more interior space. Something of a complaint for tall or large occupants. The XJ-R is the 4.2 litre DOHC V8 Supercharged car, a first for the Jaguar company. The lightweight body and the supercharger was a recipe for great performance delivering close to 400 horsepower! Combined with a full computer controlled self-adjusting air suspension, the car drove smooth and safe in all driver conditions. This XJ-R was priced at some $75,000 when new. This example is indeed a very well looked after example that is totally original in presentation and displays as nice in real-life as you see in the photos. This is a fully optioned version with sun-roof and navigation. Features that identify the XJ-R over its siblings are, deep cushioned side bolstered front seats, full leather interior, 19" alloy wheels, special grille and colour coded body fittings. The interior of this XJ-R is in impeccable condition with the burl walnut absolutely stunning without any fading or blemishes. There is not one single crack in the clear lacquer finish of the wood which is otherwise quite typical. The leather seats are factory condition soft and supple with no stains, wear marks or tears and are simply excellent. There are no marks in the hood-lining, dash or rear parcel shelf. The steering wheel is perfect with no wear. Carpets are like new with factory fitted Jaguar floor mats from new. The interior truly is stunning, is like new and even smells "brand new" (non-smoker owners with ash trays and lighters virgin!). The body is completely accident and rust free evidenced by all the factory original stickers still in place on this inside edges. The paint is in perfect condition without any noticeable blemishes. The paint is original and is very shiny and consistent. It presents perfectly for driver use. Mechanically the car is fully maintained and sound with near new Bridgestone Potenza tyres all round (255/40-19) mounted on high performance 19" alloy rims. Under the hood, is like new and simply cannot be faulted. No lights on the dash and drives very strong and sure. Brakes were recently serviced. The A/C blows cold and heater nice and toasty. Every single instrument, feature and function are in working condition. The mileage is hard to believe. If you saw the car in real life and were told it had 25,000 miles, you would believe it. It is that nice! Such is the advantage of them being "highway miles". As you would expect, the car comes with its original manuals, spare and tools. This is an immaculate XJ-R Jaguar in excellent condition that makes for an excellent everyday driver. It far exceeds average condition examples and comfortably rates as a virtual 10 out of 10 driver condition which earns it regular compliments. The Auto Check report comes in high at 85. ~ Stunning high performance XJ-R. Perfect for every day driving at a fraction of its replacement cost. Just taken on trade and being offered for sale at a very fair price ~ Please see additional photos at this link below: Click HERE to see additional photos! International bidders welcome. ~~oo00oo~~ Click HERE to see additional photos! ** PLEASE read auction terms and conditions below BEFORE bidding.** ~~oo00oo~~ This Jaguar is part of a private collection. Although licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of British cars. I have a long standing reputation being associated with the Rolls-Royce marque which I take seriously. I take pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required, you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost. As a collector and experienced restorer of a range of classic cars, I make every effort to bring my cars to a high standard. By comparison, my cars are generally superior to others available but they are by no means perfect. You must expect some issues. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of nice "driver" condition. Please understand, show cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve and sell for prices commensurate, so the sale price of this car reflects its relative condition. You are buying "condition" accordingly. Buyers should not expect to receive concours quality or "perfect" cars at these prices. Please also understand it is not always possible to attend to every item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked items. Further, and very importantly, these cars are not new. So this means a 20 year old car is predominantly comprised of 20 year old parts. And old parts will fail. All buyers must understand and expect that things can or will wear out, break and/or stop functioning without notice. This is even more likely with hand-built English cars of early technology when compared to the typical American car of the same vintage. Suspension and brakes on these cars are complex. We thoroughly check them and replace things that are identified faulty. But please understand, by example; if we change a brake line because it appears aged or faulty, we do NOT at the same time replace all other hoses because they are of similar age. This is considered "preventative maintenance". We do not do this unless specifically requested and is not included in the purchase price. Feel free to ask for this additional service. Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 17 years old. This is the nature of any used car and especially British cars. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition: The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle. Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, the mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrange shipping but you must immediately insure it. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, transportation, or repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, a cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, you must remember that this is a 8 year old vehicle, and while it is up to you, I do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country” until you have familiarised yourself with the car. At least, I have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought them to my home. PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Jaguars are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid. ~~oo00oo~~
