Beautiful E-type Jaguar Roadster on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Virginia, United States
|
This Jaguar is a nice matching-numbers driving example of a Series 1.5 Roadster. I have owned it for about 25 years and it is time to pass it on to someone who will drive it. I no longer do mainly because it is too hard for me (and my wife) to get into/out of. This Jaguar is a Series 1.5 of which only 2801 were built in 1967 and 1968. The Series 1.5 retained the running lights above the bumpers like the Series 1 XKEs but did away with the glass headlight covers. Big improvements were made to the mechanical systems including dual electrical fans to eliminate overheating problems in stop and go traffic. Dual Stromberg carbs replaced the triple SU set-up for ease of tuning and increased reliability. Engine displacement also went up from 3.8 liter to 4.2 liter (260 HP). The brake system was also upgraded for increased reliability and stopping power and the transmission became an all synchromesh unit. These mechanical improvements were carried over to the Series 2 XKEs but they were also longer, wider and heavier than the earlier E-Types. Several years ago I had the engine redone by Donovan Jaguar in MA. More recently I had all the cosmetics done -- new British Racing Green paint, new leather interior, new chrome bright work, new wire wheels, new carpeting, new top & top cover, new stereo system speakers, new California car cover and more that I can't remember. That cost was in excess of $46,000. Prices on these beautiful cars are going up but I have priced this one at the lower end of the market. I have a clear Virginia title in hand along with many maintenance records, a water color painting of the car, and several Jaguar books that are included in the sale. I will consider delivering it (by trailer) anywhere east of the Mississippi River for a negotiated price once the car is paid for. This is a nice vintage car that will increase in value over time. If you have any questions please get in touch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Potential purchaser could not complete the transaction due to unexpected circumstances. His loss is your gain! Because this beautiful automobile is now available again! Good luck to all bidders! |

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
