1967 Jaguar E-type Roadster (ots) - Gorgeous, All Numbers Matching Series I Xke on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, entirely numbers
matching, completely rust-free 1967 Jaguar E-Type OTS finished in factory
correct (per the original JDHT certificate) and perpetually tasteful Cream over
black leather with an original, solid and unmolested undercarriage. Often
mistaken for Old English White (which was offered on XKs between 1952-1961 and
on Series II and III E-Types from 1970-1974), Cream was Jaguar’s color
designation for white between 1962-1969, a timeless and understated hue that
perfectly offsets the E-Types lasciviously styled body. In terms of
desirability, closed headlamp Series I E-Types are at the top of the list and
final year examples are considered by many to be the most sought after, blending
the preferred early design cues with the stronger, more reliable 4.2L inline
six. If you’re looking for an excellent investment that you can drive and
enjoy, this 1967 E-Type checks all the important boxes. Delivered new to an attorney in Moline, Illinois, he would own
the car for the better part of three decades, eventually selling it to a local
business associate. The second owner kept the car in Moline until 2005, when it
was acquired by a Jaguar enthusiast from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We came across the
car late last year and found it to be in lovely condition – very strong
mechanically, cosmetically beautiful, entirely rust-free and honest – a
testament to the high level of care afforded by its three previous owners. Throughout
its life the car has been a garage queen, enjoyed in moderation, properly
maintained and garaged, with refurbishments taking place as needed. That said,
it’s worth reinforcing that at its core this is an exceptionally original, numbers matching example. Professionally refinished, the factory correct Cream paint is in fantastic shape: deep, lustrous and marred only by the most insignificant of imperfections, none of which are visible in the pictures. The body is entirely straight, free of dings or dents and retaining consistent gaps and panel fits throughout. The brightwork and all of the glass is in good original condition, as are the knock-off chrome wire wheels. The interior is equally as clean, the seats having been recently reupholstered in the correct leather and the soft top and accompanying boot cover having been replaced. Late Series I Roadsters are exalted amongst motoring enthusiasts,
thanks in no small part to the venerable 4.2L engine. Firing up without
hesitation, the engine idles consistently, pulls strongly and smoothly through
each of the gearbox’s four gears with excellent compression across all
cylinders. The cooling system works well and the exhaust note from the dual
stainless system is fantastic, the perfect accompaniment to the visceral, grin-inducing
ride quality. The car drives and brakes straight and true, the suspension is
tight and the car is a joy to drive, whether tooling through town, roaring
through the canyons or bombing down the highway. With Series I E-Types fetching outlandish prices in recent collector car auctions, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fairly priced, honest, beautiful, very original and appreciating final year example with strong, numbers matching mechanicals and clean aesthetics. Whether it will continue service as a cherished weekend driver, as a Jaguar Club of North America touring and event participant or as a welcomed addition to a collection, this gorgeous example needs nothing to be enjoyed but a doting new owner. We want
this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Reed Motorcars We’ve
always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have
created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally
be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other
acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is right, of
course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the
cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and
are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please
do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to
other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before
bidding. For U.S. buyers
a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end,
the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must
pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible
for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the
auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your
interest. |

Jaguar XFR-S is motor-porn on a mountain road
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S might have only been good enough to take the runner-up spot in our Editor's Choice top five debuts at the LA Auto Show, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more exhilarating exhaust note. As proof of this, Jaguar released a video showing the XFR-S tearing up a windy, European mountain road in close to a minute of hardcore driving footage.
The big blue cat has the same great exhaust note of the XKR-S, and the driver puts all of the car's 550 horsepower to work demonstrating the handling - and drifting - abilities of the new XFR-S. If there's any disappointment to be had, it's the fact that you have to jump to the 30-second mark of the video for any of the action to start.
Scroll down to watch the video, and be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.
Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
