1969 Jaguar E-Type
Roadster 4.2
Meticulously restored without regard to expense
This is a great opportunity to purchase a stunning, professionally restored, example of one of the fastest
appreciating cars in the world today. E-Type jags have always been highly sought after. However; in the last
several years they have been one of the best investments in classic cars you could make. Still climbing in value
with every sale these are considered to be one of the most beautiful car designs ever built.
This completely original, numbers matching car received an extensive nut and bolt restoration from one of the
finest shops in the mid-west about 10 years ago at a cost of over $60,000 (all documented), after the purchase
price of the car, and was completely restored. Today this restoration would cost in excess of $100,000. Every
mechanical component, every part and every panel was removed and restored to new or better. All the brightwork was
re-plated or polished as needed. All soft parts replaced. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and all painted
surfaces stripped and properly repainted. The end result was an award winning, better then new E-type. Since it
restoration it has been driven approx. 1,000 miles.
If you are considering a restoration project of your own, please reconsider as you can buy this car at a fraction
of the price. Imagine buying a Jaguar brand new in 1969 and then put it in a time capsule. Open the time capsule
today and this is what you have. You can spend ridiculous time and money trying to duplicate this finished vehicle
or you can buy this one, complete and pristine for a fraction of the cost.
After owning the car for the past ten years the owner decided to donate it to a local foundation to benefit cancer
research. I bought It from this foundation with the intent to keep it as part of my British car collection.
However, my circumstances have changed and now I must offer it to the next lucky collector. It runs and drives as
if it were new with that smooth silky Jaguar acceleration these cars are known for. It shifts wonderfully up and
down through all gears and stops very well with no pull or fade. The interior still looks and smells new. The paint
is still incredible with only a few very minor imperfections from the few miles it has traveled. I can find 3-4
small pinpoint type nicks. Likely stone chips. All the glass is like new. All the chrome is show quality.
The only items I know not to be original are seen in the photos. It has a beautifully installed, later type,
steering wheel slightly smaller than the original and much better for driver comfort, the beautiful wood shift knob
and upgraded stereo. Other than those items it appears to be all original as it was in 1969 when it left the
factory. And of course the tires.
It was recently appraised by a professional appraiser, Certified Appraisers Guild of America, and given a value
range between $85,000-95,000. In this appraisal the appraiser rated it as a number 2 condition car. It was likely
a number one car at the time the restoration was completed and has been driven enough to now be considered a number
two. The appraisal and all receipts from the restoration are included in the sale.
The previous owner, who had it restored, was too tall for the car. He knew he would never drive it in anything but
perfect weather. For this reason he had it restored without the soft top. E-types are not the most comfortable cars
for drivers over 6;3". The top literally gets in the way. He was too tall to drive it with the top up and when it
is down it was impossible to put the seat all the way back to make room for his long legs. To remedy this he had
the bulkhead behind the seats restored to appear as though there was never a soft top on the car (see photos). He
never intended to have it out in anything but perfect weather so this suited him better than fighting with the top.
Like many people, he believed this car looked best without the top up or down. It is a beautiful car without the
top and the finish around the rear bulkhead looks perfectly natural. Currently there is no soft top offered with
this car.
I have tried to include as many high resolution photos as possible. Please look these over carefully as they are an
important part of the description of this car. If you are lucky enough to live close to central Ohio please take
the time to come inspect it in person. It is well worth the trip.

Lotus Esprit S1 gets wet and wild in 'Forza Horizon 4' James Bond trailer
Tue, Sep 18 2018It only makes sense. When the official trailer for Forza Horizon 4 ( FH4) first debuted at E3, details showed the game is set in Britain. Those who were ahead of the curve might have recognized this as a foreshadowing of sorts. Celebrating the launch of FH4's XBOX One and Windows 10 demo on Sept. 12, Playground Games announced that the next version of the beloved racing simulator will launch with an available Best of Bond pack that includes many of James Bond's storied rides. As expected, the list is heavy on the Aston Martin, but there are plenty of other goodies, too. Included in the 10-car pack are the 1964 Aston Martin DB5, a 1969 Aston Martin DBS, a 1986 Aston Martin V8, a 2008 Aston Martin DBS, a 2015 Aston Martin DB10, a 1974 AMC Hornet X Hatchback, a 1977 Lotus Esprit S1, a 1981 Citroen 2CV6, a 1999 BMW Z8, and a 2010 Jaguar C-X75. If you can name every movie that all of these vehicles are from, pat yourself on the back and grab a martini. View 15 Photos Microsoft is rewarding those who are all-in on FH4. The Best of Bond pack will come with the Ultimate Edition of the game that is allowed an early play date, starting Sept. 28. For those who haven't fully committed, the Best of Bond pack will be available as an add-on for purchase when the game launches globally on Oct. 2. The action-packed trailer shows many of the vehicles transforming or busting out tricks they're known for from the films, including the Lotus emerging from the sea. Although players will not be able to drive any vehicles under water (that we know of), several of the gadgets will make it into the game and will be viewable during Forzavista mode. The '64 DB5 has many of its features, such as the bumper rams and revolving license plate, while the Lotus will have an available body kit, fins and all. The Bond pack also comes with a few features irrelevant to the cars, including two Bond outfits and six "quick chat" phrases that can be used during multiplayer. The pack adds to an already impressive catalogue of vehicles that includes more than 450 different rides. Available now to pre-order, the FH4 Ultimate Edition is priced at $99.99, the Deluxe Edition is $79.99, while the base game is $59.99. For those who love Bond but don't own a gaming system, don't forget about the recently announced DB5 Lego kit.
Waymo opens its self-driving taxis to 'Trusted Testers' in San Francisco
Tue, Aug 24 2021Alphabet's fully autonomous driving unit Waymo is ready to offer rides to select passengers in San Francisco, the company announced on Tuesday. Starting later today, residents can sign up to become "Trusted Testers." With an invite to the program, you can use the Waymo One app to take rides in the fleet of Jaguar I-Pace vehicles Waymo will have stationed in the city. Waymo describes the Trusted Tester program as a "research-focused" effort designed to help it collect feedback on its ride experience, with an emphasis on gathering information related to accessibility.   "We kicked off this program last week with a select few and are now expanding the program to all interested San Franciscans," the company said. "We’ll begin with an initial group and welcome more riders in the weeks to come." Much like it did in Arizona, Waymo won't let the cars drive without supervision right off the back. The company will have employees in the cars to ensure its fifth-generation Waymo Driver technology doesn't get lost on San Francisco's tricky one-way streets and hills. The company also told Bloomberg passengers will ride for free.  The expansion comes after Waymo recently announced CEO John Krafcik was leaving the company to pursue other projects. Some saw Krafcik as being too slow to push the company toward commercialization. This article by I. Bonifacic originally appeared on Engadget. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation
Thu, May 3 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.
