3036 2006 JAGUAR XJ SUPER V8
This 2006 Jaguar Super V8 is a wonderful example of the Jaguar marque. A sizeable 4.2 Litre V8 is up front with a intercooled supercharger forcing air into the aluminum heads. The dense charge that it packs pushed the engine up to 400 hp and 408 lb/ft of tourqe making this a formidable touring car. But the real value of this car is in the interior. On the inside is a cream colored leather upholstery with wood accents. There are 4 climate zones; one for each passenger. Rear radio controls, headrest tv screens, integrated phone, and power rear seats make this quite the passenger’s car as well. With 26,374 miles on the clock, this Jaguar has a lot of luxurious life left in her. VIN #SAJWA82C96TH05999 $10,000-12,000
3037 2005 JAGUAR XK8 CONVERTIBLE
This Jaguar XK8 is quite the find for a convertible in Maine. Up front is a 4.2L Fuel Injected V8 making 294 hp and 303 lb/ft of torque with a 6-speed automatic transmission behind it.

3038 2007 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA CONVERTIBLE ROADSTER
One owner, 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster, VIN JM1NC26F270133714, Metallic Gray, 60,127 miles. When making the Miata, Mazda took a page out of the British sports car book: create a light, nimble, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive roadster for the back roads. And boy did Mazda make a killer roadster! After 3 generations, the Miata was perfected with a 2.0L DOHC Inline-4 (making 166hp) mated to a smooth shifting 6-speed manual transmission. With 50/50 weight distribution, fully independent suspension, and clocking in at just over 2,500 lbs, this roadster is well equipped for canyon carving and cruises. The vehicle is in OA very good condition. The plush leather seats are untorn with functioning heaters. The radio, a/c, power hardtop roof, and steering wheel controls operate well. The clear coat does show sun fading on the plastic exterior components. This well-maintained Miata is ready for its next adventure!
This 1997 Land Rover Defender is quite the find. This truck made its way from then Sahara in North Africa all the way to Maine and was restored along the way. The 2.7L turbo diesel engine was rebuilt to stock specifications (as well as the 5-speed manual transmission). The exterior received a new coat of Sahara yellow paint and a fresh undercoat. The interior was fitted with new upholstery, a CB radio, an aftermarket stereo, and a period MOMO steering wheel. On the exterior is a sturdy roofrack and full size spare, snorkel, reinforced bumper with Offroading Gear winch, and Masai running boards. The Defender has 339,581 kilometers (211,005 mi) on the clock, but with that restoration, it can still go anywhere.
