This 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 Litre has had two owners, we being the second. We purchased the Jaguar when it had 2,800
miles on it. It has always been garaged and is mostly original. It has 54,790 original miles with matching
numbers. In 2003 the interior was restored to its original condition with the seats, dash and center console
re-upholstered in black leather, the carpet and floor mats were replaced and a new convertible top and oak liner
were installed. The boot cover was also redone. We also had a Panasonic AM/FM radio with CD player installed for
those long trips. The mahogany steering wheel , panel and gauges (the clock does not work, possibly just need a
battery) are original. The interior is in excellent condition. The car is offered with it's original owner's
operating handbook and jack. We have ordered the trunk's boot kit from XK's Unlimited, but it has been backordered
since April 2015. We are still waiting for it.
The Jaguar's exterior is in great condition for a forty-five year old car. The car was repainted in 1985 matching
the original Sable Brown color. The chrome is in excellent condition and is offered with it's original E-type
chrome and black rims, also in great shape. The car has Michelin, white wall tires with less than 500 miles on
them. The spare tire is also Michelin with a matching rim.
The original engine runs great. Angelo's Classic Import Service in our area has done the standard oil changes and
tune ups on the Jaguar. We have not had to do any major work on the engine, it has always ran beautifully. We
recently took a 300 mile road trip with the car purring like always.

Jaguar launches new classic racing series
Fri, 14 Nov 2014One-make racing series have become all the rage for customers who want to actually race their exotic sports cars (or competition-spec versions of them, anyway). Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Aston Martin all offer such programs, and Porsche supports several. Now Jaguar is getting in on the action as well, but instead of turning one of its production models - we're looking at you, F-Type - into a spec racer, it's launching an historic racing series instead.
The 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge will be open to cars made by the Leaping Cat marque before 1966, including the C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and Mk I and MkII sedans. The series, which builds on the success of the previous Jaguar E-Type Challenge, will be administered by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) based at Silverstone and will include four races in the UK and one in Europe, with the exact schedule still to be determined.
The program was announced at the launch of the Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience, where Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations director John Edwards was also named chairman of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, replacing former Jaguar managing director Mike O'Driscoll who chaired the organization for the past five years.
Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ
Fri, 23 May 2014Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.
2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 Supercharged
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Generally speaking, I don't get too upset about the growing need to replace displacement in modern cars. Sure, there are exceptions (don't you touch my 6.2-liter AMG V8), but honestly, the industry's new forced induction powertrains are all lovely, and their gains in fuel economy - when they actually make good on them - can make up for the ever-so-slight losses in performance or driving character.
But I'm having a hard time keeping my chin up with this Jaguar XF. For the 2013 model year, Jaguar has killed off the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and fitted a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic in its place (and even offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine below that). That all sounds perfectly well and good, but a week behind the wheel of this British Racing Green sedan just left me missing that V8. And then some.
