Longwood, Florida, United States

Fields Motorcars is proud to present an absolutely exceptional and rust free example of this 1969 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series II Convertible/Roadster with it's original matching # 6 cylinder 4.2L/246HP engine and 4 speed manual transmission with only 34K original but undocumented miles and finished in 'Signal Red' color paint with a black leather interior and a black soft top and with five chrome 'knock-off' wire wheels, jack, knock-off mallet, handbooks, wooden steering wheel and tonneau cover etc fully mechanically sorted! The
car is reported to have only some 34K original miles and was purchased
by the most recent owner in 1/2009 with an original 33,200 miles which
was recorded as actual on the NJ title. The car is an older restoration
in 'Signal Red' color with a beautiful black leather interior. Please
note that this particular car is one of the few examples which was
delivered direct from the factory with a rare and desirable Series 1.5
hood! The
Series II was built between 1969-71 and had open headlights without
glass covers, a wrap around rear bumper, repositioned and larger front
indicators and the tail lights were positioned below the rear bumper
instead of above it as with the Series 1 & 1.5. The car had an
improved cooling system with an enlarged 'mouth' and twin electric fans
and better brakes. Detuned for the US with twin 'Stromberg' carburetors
instead of the triple which the European models boasted (although please
note that this particular car has been upgraded to three SU carburetors
from a '67 car for superior performance as per the European models!).
The Series II models were also easily identifiable with 'ribbed' cam
covers instead of the earlier 'polished' covers and a redesigned
interior with new seats and 'rocker' switches instead of the earlier'
toggle' switches on the dashboard. AC and Power Steering were also now
available as factory options.
The floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents of any kind and has a very straight body with no rust. It's 'Signal Red' color paint is in exceptionally fine condition and the car looks extremely impressive with a lovely black leather interior which is in complete and mostly original condition apart from an after market CD player and with the front seats, door panels, headliner, dashboard and carpets all in very fine condition throughout with no real flaws. The car has four chrome knock off wire wheels and also a chrome wire spare wheel located in the trunk.
The
car drives as nice as they come with no known mechanical issues
whatsoever. This particular car must be seen and driven to be fully
appreciated - a seriously striking example which turns heads wherever
she goes showing pride of ownership throughout the years! The engine is
extremely strong and responsive with excellent oil pressure and no
noticeable oil leaks and which sounds absolutely magnificent, the 4
speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
engine temperature always remains cool. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and restored and rust free example of a 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II 4.2L roadster with its original matching #'s engine in exceptionally fine condition throughout being offered as a great daily driver or collectible classic car for any British classic car enthusiast or European classic car lover! |

Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
Take a trip down Jaguar's memory lane with Xcar
Sat, 19 Jul 2014For decades, Jaguar has been a company of two minds. On one hand, there are its luxurious, British saloon cars. They might be quick, even sporty, but when it comes down to it, they usually put a focus on comfort and accommodations above all. On the other hand, Jag has its sports cars to really get its buyers' blood pumping. Think about it: the XJ might look pretty sweet, but you know deep down that you would rather take the F-Type for a spirited drive, reveling in its snorty exhaust note. In its latest video, Xcar Films takes us on a very enjoyable history lesson covering some of the Brit brand's most exciting models ever.
Xcar hits all of the highlights, starting with the often-overlooked C-Type from early '50s with its somewhat bulbous shape. Things then progress to the drop-dead gorgeous D-Type. The one in this video is actually the first ever made and therefore worth a fortune. Because of that, the host isn't really able to get too aggressive, but it's fantastic to get an idea of what it's like to experience being behind the wheel of this icon. Finally, it ends with a Series 1 E-Type. This was when the classic model was still something of a sports car; instead of the grand tourer that the E-Type became in its later days.
All three of these cars are legends in their own right, and maybe one day the F-Type could be too. Scroll down for a history lesson on some of Jaguar's best sports cars.
1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.
