1969 JAGUAR XKE E-TYPE COUPE (not a 2+2 coupe)

Listed for sale by Coventry Garage LLC is a numbers matching, 1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE or XKE COUPE with its original engine and drive train THAT IS IN BEAUTIFUL RUSTFREE CONDITION. This car just had a new (stripped to bare metal) paint job in the original Willow Green color. We are asking a very reasonable $41,000.00 for this car. This car has only 74900 miles on it and the VIN# is 1R26410.

 

This car has a brand new clutch and slave cylinder, oil and filter change, 5 new Bridgestone 205 X 15” tires, four new rear springs, 6 KONI shocks, new stainless steel exhaust, new rubber gaskets, new clutch bottles, new clutch hoses, new bottles and brake sending units, new brake flex hoses, radiator professionally flushed and pressure tested, new Otter switch on radiator to turn rad fans on, engine compartment detailed, engine tuned with Pertronix ignition and much more. The black leather interior is in  very nice condition but is not new; the seats have been re-done in black leather as original, nice door panels, new carpets, no cracks in dash, just refinished console/arm rest that looks great and its original steering wheel in nice condition. The underside of the car is in near perfect condition with new floors and rocker panels welded in- no holes, no soft spots, very good definition on all metal surfaces- no rust issues underneath at all.

 

The body is in VERY nice condition- we have found no rust in the fenders, sills, doors, bonnet or trunk- NO RUST FOUND! NO EVIDENCE OF ANY ACCIDENTS EITHER. We have many more photos of the floors and trunk that we can send to you. We just had the car re-painted; our body man said that this is one of the best, most rust free British cars that he has ever worked on! He stripped the car to bare metal, primed, painted, and clear coated the car. IT LOOKS GREAT! This car is finished to a very nice driver quality standard.

 

Mechanically the car runs great; shifts easily, starts quickly, brakes nicely. The car only shows 74900 miles on the working odometer. The chrome is in nice condition but shows some scratches on the flat surfaces. The 5 chrome wire wheels are in nice condition but are original to the car and are not perfect. The car is missing one right rear tail light chrome clamshell finisher. The radio and its surround are missing and NOT with the car. The headliner is in nice original condition and not falling down but shows some wear. The dash has no cracks. The steering wheel has been recoated in polyurethane. The lights and gauges all work. This car has a brand new spare tire and original matching wire wheel and a car cover. No jack or tool kit. The exhaust manifolds have been JETCOATED.


The VIN# is1R26410 and you can see more history and photos on the "XKE DATA" website. We included many photos of the restoration process so you can see how far we went with the 20 month restoration process. We made this car a "driver" not a Concours trailer queen. We are Concours Judges and members of the Jaguar Clubs of North America and members of our local Jaguar Club of Pittsburgh.


If you like, we can give you names of local British restorers/mechanics that you can contract with to assess this Jaguar XKE for you (at your expense). If you fly into Pittsburgh, we can pick you up at the Pittsburgh International Airport. All shipping arrangements and expenses will be paid by the buyer. The car will not be shipped until all funds clear our bank. This car is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end this auction at any time.


We can offer this car at such a reasonable price because we are a very small, Pennsylvania licensed, used car dealership. We specialize in foreign/exotic/British sports cars. Please phone Gary at 412-638-2715 or Dan at 412-680-1639 to arrange to see and drive this legendary British sports car. If you want to see more photos, just write me an e-mail and I can attach more detailed photos. We are located at 1505 Fifth Ave., McKeesport, PA. 15132 USA (just outside Pittsburgh, PA.) and we are open by appointment only. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR CAR! Call us to make an offer!

Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.

Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.

2013 Jaguar XJ AWD

Tue, 18 Dec 2012

Even though this year's winter has gotten off to an abnormally slow start for most of North America, Jaguar has shown the world it means business by launching its all-new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system in Montreal, Canada. Designed primarily for consumers in the Northern US and Canada, Jaguar put us on the same snowy, slushy and icy roads that many of its buyers will have to deal with. Rather than making declawed versions of the XJ and XF, Jag says this system enhances the performance abilities of its sedans when desired while still making them as fun to drive as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. We had a chance to test out both the XF AWD and XJ AWD, but we spent most of our time behind the wheel of the flagship XJ, driving it on the open roads as well as a few closed courses.
Considering the lengthy and convoluted history of the Jaguar brand - including a stint as a member of Ford's defunct Premier Automotive Group alongside Volvo and Aston Martin - it is rather surprising that the automaker is just now getting around to introducing an all-wheel-drive system intended for widespread use, but the new Instinctive AWD will finally allow the XF, XJ and other future products to better compete against the likes of Mercedes-Benz 4Matic, BMW xDrive and Audi Quattro. In the XJ, Jaguar expects the AWD models to account for around 40 percent of the product mix nationwide and a little bit more (50 percent) for the XF, but in the northern states, it expects around 80 percent of XF sales to be AWD variants.
Instinctive AWD is rear-biased and operates as full rear-wheel drive in good weather, but when the road conditions turn slick, the system can split engine power 50:50 between front and rear axles using a center transfer case.
