This car is a 1970 Jaguar E-Type or XKE Roadster...door plate shows manufactured date of 1-'70. I believe that this is considered a Series 2. A friend of mine found this car in an old garage, contacted the then owner and purchased the vehicle and then sold it to me. I will give a Bill of Sale. I have cranked this car from it's own gas tank and the motor runs good. I have eased it across my yard but have not put it on the road as the brakes need to be bled. To the best of my knowledge, this is a running E-Type, mechanically sound. It is, however, a total cosmetic restoration. It will need rocker panels, as my friend cut out a slot to install a steel plate to reinforce the old floor pans. Pics will show additional body work required. The motor tube support frame is in very good condition...very solid...
I have the following additional comments to offer: I have the seats and, while the frames will need to be refurbished, the foam and hides will have to be replaced. I have the spare tire on it's original wire rim. I have the convertible top frame which will also need refurbishing. No soft top. I have the knock off tool and lead hammer, new rubber moulding between bumper and car and new rubber moulding around trunk lid..these were ordered recently from Moss. Tail lights have been removed but I have the lights. The steering wheel will likely need to be replaced..see pics...as the wood rim is gone. Otherwise, I believe that the pics show all else. I had planned to begin restoration, but have other priorities. Mileage is: 85,054....Car No. is: 1R12513....Engine No. is: 7R10503..cash or Certified Bank Check acceptable. Bank Check subject to seller's bank's clearance policy. For someone who wishes to do the cosmetics for a sound mechanical E-Type, this is your project. I welcome all questions. Thank you for bidding! |

Jaguar hints at what might become of XK after F-Type's arrival
Wed, 02 Jan 2013Jaguar may move the company's XK further upmarket following the introduction of its forthcoming F-Type. The newcomer to the range easily shoulders the burden of carrying the Jaguar sportscar mantle, freeing up the XK to evolve in another direction. While speaking with Autocar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said there's an opportunity to grow the grand tourer both in size and luxury.
Whether that means the vehicle will retain its two-plus-two seating configuration or swell to offer buyers even more space remains to be seen. Either way, the future will likely see the XK soften its claws moving forward. And that's no bad thing. Jaguar has a long history of building luxurious grand tourers more content to soak up miles of highway than bounce from apex to apex.
What else is in store for the brand? Callum seems to have kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to acknowledge ongoing rumors of a Jaguar crossover beyond saying the brand "had to take notice" of the popularity of the luxury SUV market.
Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
