1968 Jaguar Xke Convertible Solid Project Car on 2040-cars
Erie, Pennsylvania, United States
I never thought that I would be listing this car since it is my favorite of all the British iron that I have owned over the years. I have collected many items for the xke over the 20 years that I have owned it. I am getting too old now to complete it and can't find the time to work on it. I have all of the parts to put it back together. I have many new items like a black leather interior with new seat foam, carpet kit, panel kit, new amco soft top, and complete seal kit. I have replated or purchase new all of the chrome except for the main bumper bars. I had the 3 carb setup rebuilt but it has never been put back on. This car looks like a series 1 from the outside and a series 2 from the inside. I purchased it off the the 2nd owner. It has 43315 original miles. The floors and outer rockers were shot and they have been repaired with the correct factory panels. I also have a new exhaust system from the header back that came with the car, shocks, rear springs, bearings and many other smal parts to complete this restoration project. The original color is signal red exterior, and black for the interior. I have a very nice set of curly spline wheels and the original set too. The car has been off the road and in storage since 1977. The motor turns free the last time I checked. I have many small and hard to find parts that go with the car as well. It also has an aftermarket hardtop that is in very good condition. The body is solid and I used the best dupont primers and products when I started the restoration. I had the bonnet disassembled and dipped then epoxy primed. The trunk floor is also like new and the tank has been sealed and restored. I have a wilwood conversion for the front brakes with new rotors and new rotors for the rear. 1000 deposit in paypal and then the money has to clear in my bank before car goes. I have many more detailed pictures if needed. The car is barn stored 1 hour east of Erie, PA

Watch this Jaguar XJ220 perform a fiery burnout
Thu, 19 Jun 2014We like to think that at least some supercar owners drive their exotic machinery the way they're meant to be driven. The reality is more likely that most pamper them in climate-controlled environments and rarely actually drive them. But Tax The Rich seems dedicated to balancing them all out by hooning the heck out of some of the most expensive and desirable supercars the world has ever seen - whether it's a Ferrari Enzo rallying along dirt roads or a pair of F50s playing tug of war.
The YouTube channel has even played around with a Jaguar XJ220 before, but not quite like this. In its latest clip, Tax The Rich goes a step or two beyond the usual smokey burnout, lighting up the rear wheels of a super-rare Jag, all for our viewing pleasure. And take pleasure we do in the video below, even as part of us cringes at the thought of potentially reducing one of the fastest Jaguars in history to a smoldering hulk.
Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works.
According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.
Jaguar testing hardcore F-Type R-S GT?
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Some automakers make a hardcore model, then sit back and revel in its awesomeness. Jaguar does things a little differently. It takes a standard production model, gives it more power, bigger brakes and a tighter suspension and slaps the letter R on it. Then it gives it even more power, even bigger brakes and an even tighter suspension and calls it an R-S. Sometimes the engineers in Coventry don't even think that's enough, so they strip out some weight and dial things up even further and call it an R-S GT.
So far, they've only gone that far with the XK (transformed first into the XKR, then the XKR-S, and finally the XKR-S GT), but with that model on its way out, Jaguar seems to be preparing to give the newer F-Type a similar treatment. Now we can't be sure that what we're looking at is an F-Type R-S GT, especially since the 550-horsepower engine from the XKR-S and XFR-S is already powering the existing F-Type R Coupe, but it does seem to have all the makings of a hardcore performance model.
Compared to the existing F-Type, the development model pictured here has a bigger front splitter (like the one on the Project 7 concept), a big rear wing and a set of what looks like pretty big lightweight alloys. It's also, tellingly, a roadster, which (unlike the coupe) has until now topped out at 500hp with the V8 S model. So while it may be hard to say exactly just what Jaguar has in store for us here (or what they'll call it), one thing's for sure: it's gonna be fast and loud.
