1962 Jaguar Xke Roadster on 2040-cars
Spring Lake, New Jersey, United States
|
Our XKE is an older restoration, of some 10 years. It has always been in a dry, heated garage. Only driven on sunny days, locally. New tires and new Dayton stainlees/ chrome wire wheels are a just couple of years old, and still as new and true. Very little mileage on car since restoration, and only taken out 3 or 4 times last summer. Drives excellent. All systems work fine- brakes, cooling fuel, electric. Care was completely restored. I will post a few scanned photos of the car during restoration. Everything was gone over, rebuilt or replaced. I changed the Lucas generator out for a very highly efficient, small aircraft alternator about 5 years ago and it has worked flawlessly. I still have the Lucas generator. It needs a rebuild and comes with the car. I also have the stock wood steering wheel that comes with the car, in great shape. I just prefer a smaller wheel The tires are the proper stock size, Vredesteins. I have the front bumpers and will put them for a new owner if they so wish. I just like 'the lightweight e-type' look, as was the Jag racing team cars of the early 60's. All the chrome was redone, seats redone, wiring, carbs, differential, engine, gearbox, brakes . It runs out straight and strong. I don't think I have ever put up the top. Rust free body. This was a clean car before the restoration was done. I love this car but have to scale down on my cars now as I age, and it would be nice to free up a garage space. Good luck in bidding.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
Scroll down to see how it all plays out on video.
2013 Jaguar XFR-S
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer?
"Is it fast?"
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe spotted testing
Thu, 09 May 2013The automotive world has been hot on fire with the Jaguar F-Type of late. We're still recovering from the excitement of driving Jaguar's new sports car for the first time, and recently we had a predictive look at a coupe version. As it turns out, those 'patent sketches' were just a warm up for the real deal F-Type Coupe, as this brand new set of spy images proves out.
Word from our shooter is that security around the F coupe was and is really tight. The photographer had to hide in the cargo area of his clandestine SUV, just to catch these few, not-perfectly-clear images (that odd color your see is window tint). Still, the photos are good enough to see that the rakish silhouette of the hardtop is going to do justice to the convertible. In fact, the new top seems to flow quite perfectly into the car's rear haunches.
Expect that the F-Type Coupe will share an engine lineup with the roadster, meaning both a naturally aspirated and a supercharged V6, as well as a V8 option. Hot R and R-S versions of the Jaguar coupe are a virtual lock, too, though how far down the product pipeline they are is unclear.
