1969 Jaguar E-Type Convertible
This is an excellent opportunity to own a quickly appreciating Jaguar XKE roadster in superb original condition. Selling out of an estate the owner has past away and this car is being offered well below market value. It was described to me as his "pride and joy" driven occasionally through the country roads near his home and farm. It was always garaged in a heated building and covered when not in used. It always received whatever care and maintenance needed to keep it in top condition mechanically. I was told it received one repaint about 10 years ago in its original regency red color as seen in the photos. It appears to be a very high quality paint job that has held up very well. I believe the trunk and engine area are still in the original paint. The paint shines like new but does show a few chips and minor blemishes consistent with a car that has been driven occasionally. I would describe this car as a excellent driver quality. The interior was redone at the same time and still looks great. Although the carpet could benefit from a good cleaning. The seats, doors, center console and dash look almost new. The top was also replaced and still looks new. It does not have a boot cover for the top in the down position.
Mechanically it supports the type of care described, as well as the low original miles. It starts right up and sounds wonderful. It holds excellent oil pressure, in or out of gear at any temp. at idle or top RPM, does not heat up at all and everything seems to work just as it should. It does not burn oil and has not left so much as a drip in my garage. Driving it is truly a pleasure. It shifts very smoothly up and down through all gears. It stops quickly and perfectly straight. It handles like an E-type should. Corners great and reminds you of a wonderful time when motoring in a British convertible on a sunny afternoon was a great past time. It is a rare classic which can be enjoyed in todays traffic. It has strong acceleration in all gears. No valve clatter under hard acceleration. Just the classic smooth power e-types are known for. The chrome is beautiful and shines like new. Steering wheel, guages, shift knob and dash all original and look great.
Early series I E-types have already appreciated to the point where few collectors can afford them and even if you could it's doubtful you would take one for a drive in the country without worrying constantly about your six figure investment. These series II cars are raising as well but still offer collectors a relatively affordable, better driving, alternative that will likely follow the series one cars as they continue to fetch record prices. Enzo Ferrari said the Jaguar E-type was the most beautiful car he had ever seen. The E-type roadster is one of the most recognized collectible cars in the world. It can be enjoyed in modern traffic and is one of the most comfortable classic sports cars you will ever drive.
The time to ask questions and complete inspections is before you bid. Once you bid you have agreed to buy this car at your bid price. The reserve is very low and I have no doubt it will sell. I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the sale if the car sells prior to the end of this listing. I require a $1,000 Non- refundable deposit within 24 hours after the auction ends. No exceptions. The balance is due within seven days. I can continue to store the car for up to 4 weeks at no charge while you arrange shipping. If you live close to central Ohio I encourage you to come inspect this beatiful classic in oerson. If not I will endevor to accomidate third pary inspections. However; they will need to be done at my home.
Please call me with questions or to schedule an inspection at 614-352-3434

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
CMC to produce limited run of Callum's Jaguar Mark 2 [w/video]
Thu, 04 Sep 2014We were a more than a little jealous when designer Ian Callum revealed his Jaguar Mark 2 restomod that he commissioned from Classic Motor Cars. It turns out that we weren't the only ones that dug it - the reaction was so great that CMC got Callum's permission to create a limited run of them for customers. Although, with prices quoted between £350,000 and £375,000 ($572,000 - $613,000), we doubt Ian needs to worry about seeing a copy of his creation pass him too soon.
"Within hours we had received calls from people all over the globe asking if they could buy one," said Peter Neumark, Chairman of CMC in the latest announcement. The reaction came as a surprise to Callum, who said he designed the car entirely to his own specifications and actually wasn't sure if people would like it.
Among Callum's many changes are new bumpers, wider front fenders with functional louvers and less chrome trim. Under the hood is a 4.3-liter six-cylinder fitted with two SU carbs putting out around 260 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It should be a much better driver too, with a completely re-engineered independent rear suspension, adjustable dampers at all four corners, improved brakes and a new rack and pinion steering system designed by CMC with electric assist.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
