1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES TWO ROADSTER. RED/BLACK. 4-SPEED. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. 

Up for sale here on Ebay is a very decent 1969 Jaguar E-type Series Two Roadster. 
It has just been removed from storage for a period of about 20 years. The car looks very good cosmetically from about 10 feet, but close up the paint is showing some signs of it's age with some checking on the hood and trunk lid. 
The interior appears very decent and usable. The seats are trimmed in leather, and would only require some conditioning. The softtop is a replacement type with no rips or tears and a very nice back window. There is a newer tonneau cover included. The chrome and glass look very nice overall. The chrome wire wheels present well, but the tires should be changed out as a safety precaution. The wood portion of the original steering wheel is starting to separate from the aluminum. All of the gauges and switchgear appear in good order and original. 
Jacked up, the car looks solid underneath. The underside of the bonnet at the front looks really good, no damage. The hood could use some minor alignment/adjustment for a perfect fit along the bulkhead. The doors open and shut fine. The trunk lid sits a little proud, like most cars do. 
This car has been fitted with a 3.8 Triple Carb Series One E-type engine and gearbox, engine number RA3203-9. The previous owner, who was very forthright, started the engine up with a battery and fuel that he gravity fed into the carbs. The car was yard driven for a short period around his property with great results. The car ran very well and strong, with good oil pressure. It currently needs some brakework and a fuel system cleanout at this point to make it a nice driver. He used the handbrake to stop the car, afraid that pushing the brake pedal could seize the brakes after the long storage period...
Overall, this car presents a good opportunity to secure a very decent Jaguar E-type 6-cylinder Roadster. With a little bit of mechanical recommissioning and minor efforts, one could turn this car into a very usable and attractive road car. 
This car is located in Southern California and can be viewed by appointment. It is sold with a New York registration certificate which is suitable for export, as New York doesn't issue titles on vehicles past a certain year. $43,900.

Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.

2014 Jaguar XJL AWD 3.0

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

A bit of British nobility floods the senses when piloting the 2014 Jaguar XJ. It's an emotional rush, a perception based on physical surroundings that influence the mind in much the same manner that a stein of pilsner tastes best when consumed in a German beer garden and no sand is softer than that found on a warm Caribbean beach. Jaguar has been assembling cars for nearly 100 years, and few automakers are as equally adept at capturing aristocracy and timelessness within the rich cabins of their luxury offerings.
Jaguar would have no concern if it were the only game in town, but that's far from the truth. The premium full-size luxury segment, which includes vehicles hovering just under or at the six-figure mark, is a contentious grouping that includes the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Each of those brings its own game to the battle, and none are easy to dismiss.
To better understand the British perspective and evaluate its latest offering on a land without royalty, I recently spent a week with a long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ in Southern California.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower 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.
