I have owned a 4.0L XKR Coupe for the past 7 years - sensational car. Good showcase of this vehicle but a couple of minor things to correct. The centre of the badge has a Growler not a Leaper and the button near the shifter IS Cruise Control, it is not a speed limiter. If you set the cruise control and put your foot down the car will keep going faster. (The ultimate way to feel the power of this vehicle is to cruise along at about 15 mph and then hit the throttle hard. The trans will knock back into first and take off like a scalded cat. Love it.)
Thank you for your feedback. I agree with the growler. I used the 2 terms interchangeable, but you are correct. I have to disagree about the speed limiter. If the speed limiter is engaged (button is glowing a red light), cruise control will not operate, in the sense that it will not maintain the speed you set the "cruise control" at. This function will revert to normal once you deactivate the speed limiter. I haven't tried hitting the throttle hard yet, but I may try it one day...
Absolutely stunning jaguar looks amazing
It really is!
Great video, what a car. I was on the hunt for one of these cars (not the 100 special) but settled instead for a 99 XJR and I LOVE IT.
Still look at XKRs with an eye to own one, but the XJR I found was as near mint as is possible here I the UK because of our climate, so I went for it over an XKR.
The XKR has to be one of the most beautiful looking coupes ever built. At least I still have the same supercharged V8 in my XJR. She's a mean black beast with her blacked out windows. Thanks for sharing the beautiful XKR 100 👍
Thank you for the kind words Bill. I still miss that XKR100! Drove it from Florida to North Carolina in 2 days and had LOADS of fun with it! Been scouring the country now for the last couple of years, trying to find another one like it.
Your 99 XJR is an awesome cat too! I would much rather have your XJR than the one that came after it in 2004...
so sad
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. I have the 1998 XjR, the 4 door supercharged version.
Thank you for the kind words. Your XJR was among the true, old school Jags. I had the 2001-2003 XJRs and I loved the way they feel on the highway!
@@ValEuroSport thx buddy
You are very welcome! I have been looking for years for another 01-03 XJR and there are none to be found, for a good reason...
@@ValEuroSport agree, i have a Jag page here on youtube.., take a look and
are you on FaceBook? here is the link Jaguar XJR, Super 8 and Daimler Super V8/VDP owners and admirers group
Beautiful, just beautiful!...but more badging than a Harley!!
Fair enough! I love the lines of the coupes more than the convertibles, but it has to have the right wheels (20" BBS). Anything less (for example 18" Hydra stock wheels) makes it look dorky. I do prefer the convertibles from a practical point of view, since I have an innate need for sun light, and really love to feel the wind in my hair ;-)
They are your modern day E-Type
That's exactly right! That's why their value has not dropped over the last 15 years!
Is that Jordan lake? Love this car and I’m near Greensboro, North Carolina
Yes, it is Jordan Lake! Back when it was open for visitors. Now, not so much .... :-(
I love this car ♥ What is the life of parts? Do many things break quickly?
They are very reliable since Ford owned Jaguar of this generation. Little things break, such as light bulbs burning out in the instrument cluster/climate control, seat modules need replacing (seat gets stuck in one position), door microswitches (window doesn't drop when closing the door), things of that nature. The worst thing that can happen is a burst convertible top line, resulting in a "green shower". It costs about $300 and your time to replace it (DIY project), or about $1200 if you hire the dealership.
@@ValEuroSport "They are very reliable DESPITE Ford owning Jaguar of this generation." - fixed that for you. Jaguar reliability improved massively after Ford sold Jaguar.
The pre-face lift cars (before 2004) are better looking.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My clients are split about even between pre and post facelift looks. I personally prefer the 05-06 body style.
Yes, you are absolutely right.. the 05s started with scoops and vents etc. The 03s and 04s are 4.2 engines. They are pure form, like a series 1 E-Type. I have one of each and I just bought a Silver Stone that was on my bucket list for years. All are Roadsters, ideal for a single guy living in Ft. Lauderdale Florida.
Nice music
Thank you! By the way, there is someone else who didn't like the music and asked me to skip the music next time! It just goes to show, you can't please everyone!
I will give you a critique. You may own a gimbal, but you should have used it when you walked up to the owner while he was standing near his front bumper.
As for sound, the slightly aggressive beating or rhythm of the music is perfect. It mates with the spotty sun rays on the forest floor. However, when the owner was speaking about tech specs near the rear bumper, you changed the music, ok; but it was a tiny bit too high in volume. It distracted me and I lost a few words from him. Here is an example of “subliminal music” th-cam.com/video/atJ_gBadXp0/w-d-xo.html done well.
Your framing and positions show you are a professional. Tweek these changes next time and you will have perfection!
Thank you for the in-depth feedback Tim. I appreciate the time you put into it. I have forwarded it to my producer. Cheers!
Valentin, nice video - but the music sucks! Please do videos without music. Thank you.
Someone just commented earlier how much he liked the music, LOL. What kind of music do you prefer?
@@ValEuroSport LOL :) I like jazz and classical music. But still if I watch reports about cars I wanna know about the cars, not listening to music... ;)
Agreed 100%. It's nice to have a little bit of music in the background though, at least some of the time...
@@ValEuroSport i actually liked the music, i usually do not play any with mine but starting to change to it.
You don't have a non stubby side view until 13:03 when you can actually then and ony then see what the car actually looks like from the side --sleek and beautiful. You do try awful hard but you missed this HUGE imortant thng that really does a giant diservice to what you are showing. Sorry but I have an XKR and will be selling it at some point to buyers that will possibly end up watching your videos and I feel you'll hurt me and anyone else by potential buyers seeing these at least in this particular unsexy distorted images video . You have had some sweet xkr's and I know it is harder than it looks to put these together but I can't believe you think this is acceptable the way you carry on about the beauty of these cars? You had to have noticed this, no?
I am not sure what you mean about the stubby side view. Sorry if I insulted your sensibilities.
They are really not that powerful and fast ..
True, if you compared it to Porsche 911, Mercedes S55/E55, Audi S4, or Ferrari. But then this car is a grand tourer in my opinion.
Um... yeah, they kinda are, especially as they're a restricted beast. I've owned many a wannabe racer on the motorway. Plus they sound better than ninety percent of the cars out there. 😁😉
Totally agree Andy. I LOVE that purr when going out on the highway for a long ride! MEEEOOOWWW!
Ha ha 380 bhp and red lined at 6750 rpm, plenty fast enough for a gorgeous grand tourer.. I had the soft top and all have adaptive suspension which is superbly comfortable and still gives you great road holding and so refined.
You should find a fashion counselor. And stop wearing a Bluetooth headset, you look like a obnoxious bmw driver with that in your ear. There are more modern solutions like galaxy buds or earpods that doesn't look as douchy. Thanks for showing and talking about the car.
Thank you for your input :-) I treasure direct, unfiltered feedback that ultimately improves the quality and feel of my films. I happen to have a huge distaste for the cordless apple ipods I see TV personalities and pundits use. I think those look very DOUCHY :-)))). I do agree about the headset and will remember to remove it once it is no longer needed for the shoot.
@@ValEuroSport I'd have to agree on the apple airpods, they create an eyesore as well. Other ways to improve could be to use a gimbal for the camera you are recording with to improve stability. These range from 100-200$. I'm neither an expert or very educated about microphones but I do know the ones from RØDE are popular. They are about the same price as the gimbal.
I enjoy seeing these beautiful cars in a summer/scenic setting, as I am living in a dark and gloomy part of the world during the winter months.
Guess I was not paying attention, you already have a microphone and a gimbal in your latest video it seems.
