1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Johnstown, New York, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: baobaaustino@artsociety.net . Up for sale is this beautiful, one owner, 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 roadster. I am not a dealer, I am a family friend
of the original owner and I'm assisting her in selling her beloved Jaguar. The car was purchased new from
Harrington Motors in Montgomery New York in 1969. It has always been garaged and for the most part is all original.
It currently has 45,xxx original miles on it's all original, numbers matching drive train. The interior is all
original from its black leather seats to it's mahogany steering wheel to its original Jaguar rubber floor mats.
Some scuffs on the leather seats are present, the pad on the center console is a little worn and the clock in the
dash does not work, the rear view mirror is cracked. The wood on the steering wheel is cracked but could be easily
repaired.
The exterior of the car is in excellent condition for an original, forty-six year old car. The car was
repainted in the 1970's due to a fender bender type accident but the Primrose Yellow paint has held up very well.
It does have some small dings, chips and scuffs as you would expect of a forty year old paint job. One of the
issues with the paint is that some of the trim pieces have traces of the repaint on them. The convertible top is in
excellent condition. The original chrome wire wheels are in great shape with little rust and just a trace of
peeling. The chrome trim is in nice shape.
The original engine runs great. It did have some work done last winter by Klaus Garage in Hopewell Junction New
York (see pics for repair invoice). The carburetors were rebuilt, the gas tank was replaced, clutch slave cylinder,
new battery, brake fluid reservoir, brake master and servo unit, fuel pump, basic tune-up etc work along with a
passed New York State inspection. The car runs great, This past May, the car was driven fifty plus miles from my
house in Hopewell Junction NY to the Royals Car Show at Lime Rock Racetrack in CT without a problem.

Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
Lapping Le Mans with 1956's version of a dash cam
Wed, 01 May 2013Mike Hawthorne and Ivor Bueb won The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955 driving a Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It is compelling viewing. A new pit complex was built after the massive accident on the front straight in 1955, but this was still a time when crews prepped for the race on roads that were open to the public. Hawthorne's lap includes maneuvers to avoid bicyclists and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy." Watch him work it like the men of old in the video below.
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.
