1970 Jaguar E-type (xke) Ots on 2040-cars
Franklin, Maine, United States
|
Excellent 1970 Jaguar E-Type convertible. This car starts, runs and goes down the road as a Jaguar XKE should. Engine runs great. Has the syncros in transmission replaces 1000 miles ago. Has car completely gone over and tuned by a Jaguar specialist 500 miles ago. Brakes well with no pull. The interior has all been redone with leather replacement interior. Newer vinyl top. Paint is very good with the exception of a couple bubbles. One is on the bonnet and is the size of a quarter. I have been monitoring it for 4 years and it hasn't gotten any larger. There is another on the drivers side rocker that can't be seen unless it is pointed out. This one is also about the size of a quarter. Neither are through the paint and there is no rust showing anywhere. If I was keeping the car I would repair this Spring. We are talking paint touch up here not a major paint job. Car wins trophies as is. The chrome wire wheels are excellent and the tires have about 80 % left. The spare is also chrome wire wheel. It has the tool kit including the original wheel removal tools. I have a Ohio title and a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate. The speedometer needle jumps back and forth while going down the road. It was fine prior to the transmission work I had done. It has been suggested that there may be a kink in the speedometer cable that is catching as it spins in the casing. The cable and the gear 90 degree connector at the transmission are both new. I hate to sell but I am running out of room and I need to thin out. This is your opportunity to own a great E-type that is ready to drive and show right now or can be taken to a number 1 car quite easily. My reserve is set lower than the Haggerty valuation is for this car and lower than these cars are being bid on this site. Please e-mail any questions. Sorry no additional pictures until May. The car is in storage parked behind 3 other cars. If the cars sells I will dig the car out immediately. It the auction comes close to my reserve I may remove the reserve so car will sell. Thanks for looking

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
Driving Notes
Are you the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R-S?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013It's no secret that Jaguar is working on a fixed-roof version of the F-Type roadster, but now it looks like it's also developing a high-performance model for said coupe. Captured sharpening its claws at the Nürburgring, this F-Type Coupe prototype could very well be an R-S or even a more track-ready R-S GT variant.
Our biggest clue suggesting the latter are its massive brake rotors with bright-yellow calipers - similar pieces are also found on the recently introduced XKR-S GT. This would make sense, since a report in May said that Jaguar is looking to create a full line of R-S GT models in a similar fashion as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series. Missing from this prototype, though, are the telltale aero add-ons we seen on the XKR-S GT - go-faster bits like the latter's front fascia winglets and rear wing, though this model is obviously still being developed. Regardless of what this new grippier, quicker kitty is called, we say "Yes, please."
