The 1960's Jaguar roadster is the most beautiful car ever conceived and built. Sleek, sexy and low with incredible speed and agility, it makes one palpitate with igneous desire. If the purpose of an investment is to derive pleasure in seeing it appreciate, then this 1969 XKE Series II on offer will provide you every possible opportunity to gratify your senses. If you've been following the recent market, restored Series I XKE roadsters are now selling for well over $100K US making these Series II cars even more alluring and affordable. The Classic XKE is still within reach and this example is priced well below any competition to sell.
The pictures tell the full story. This car has been completely restored and is ready to show and drive. Never hit, rusted or welded, it has the most prized of color combinations: Signal Red with tan biscuit leather interior. Always a California car which has just returned from a two year vacation in Portland, OR. where it was always garaged and never driven in rain. Vin # 1R8604. She is bone straight save for a a very small parking lot ding on the left door, which you need to look hard to see. There are no issues to speak off mechanically. Engine and transmission were completely gone through 5 years ago by a previous owner; doesn't smoke and has great oil pressure. All electrical systems function except clock and horn. Suspension is all rebuilt. Brakes, exhaust and tires are new. Paint is 3 years old and is a single stage that's been cut and polished. All chrome was recently removed from the car and triple plated. A new windshield and top installed at that time. She runs and looks fantastic but is not a 100 pt. garage queen. She can be driven and enjoyed like the previous owners before her. Car is available for viewing anytime during the auction period not afterwards. I am an hour's drive North of Los Angeles. It is advertised locally and subject to prior sale. Title is clear. I welcome all international bidders and can assist in transport to port, around $250. Last I checked, Felixtowe or Southampton was around $1400. Ro/Ro. Not sure what other European ports would cost. Please ask all questions. I have described the car to the best of my abilities. I can provide many more photos to serious buyers (undercarriage, doors, jambs, rockers, interior, etc.). Winner shall make a $1000. non-refundable deposit to Paypal within 24 hours of auction's end.

Jaguar wants to make real-life driving just like a video game
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
Jaguar considering lightweight F-Type Club Sport?
Wed, 02 Apr 2014In the market for a Jaguar F-Type? Then let us commend you, first of all, on your good taste. But you've got a difficult decision ahead of you: Do you go for the power of the V8 or the lighter weight of the V6? It's a tough call, even if the ~$30k range in price from the entry model to the flagship doesn't phase you.
Well, to make the decision easier (or potentially more difficult), Jaguar is said to be looking into yet another tempting option: that of a lightweight Club Sport model. Tipped to be based on the coupe (and not the heavier roadster), the F-Type Club Sport would allegedly shed a good 400 pounds or so off the curb weight, not so much through the removal of one component or another but through a "holistic" approach that would call on all aspects of the car to play their part in ditching excess weight. That could mean everything from carbon-fiber body panels to a stripped-out interior denuded of sound-deadening materials and creature comforts, says Auto Express.
In developing the rumored F-Type Club Sport, Jaguar is apparently facing a similar dilemma to what buyers are pondering: will it base the track-focused model on the top-of-the-line F-Type R, with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 driving 542 horsepower to the rear set of lighweight alloys but weighing down the schnoz? Or should it try to get more power out of the lighter 3.0-liter supercharged V6, which currently nets 340 hp in base form and 380 in S spec? Let Jag know what you'd do by leaving your thoughts in Comments.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S is the power and the fury
Thu, 29 Nov 2012If there's something wrong about a sedan with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, we don't want to hear about it. Instead, we want to marvel at the car in person, which is fortuitous because Jaguar has officially unveiled the 2014 XFR-S at the 2012 LA Auto Show. That blown 5.0-liter V8 dishes up a full 502 pound-feet of torque, which is good enough to shuttle the four-door to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds. And, thanks to a start stop system and a few other fuel-saving tricks, the 2014 XFR-S gets away without being hit by the gas guzzler tax.
That's all good news, but we're just as excited about the fact that engineers managed to crank up the vehicle's chassis stiffness by a ludicrous 30 percent. Stiffer dampers and springs also give the car a little more poise, and a wide-open exhaust lets the whole world know you're kicking down their door. You know, in case the electric blue paint and wild body work didn't tip your hand. Check out the full gallery above for a closer look.
