1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster 4.2 Litre, Series II
One owner since 8/3/1980
Unmodified engine and body
Engine #: 7R 94459
Interior redone mid-90's (sills and door) in Jaguar Connelly leather; seats were redone immediately after purchase
Engine is immaculate
Detailed very close to original, decals, color etc.
Tires are very good tread w/wire chrome wheels
Repainted five years ago. All of the rubber:body,doors,bonnet were replaced new; there is no rust; there are no dents in the body - after thirty-three years, I should know the car.
Always garaged
Chrome was redone - everywhere, during a near full cosmetic restoration when first purchased
Still has great acceleration
Chrome exhaust and tailpipe
Wood steering wheel
Updated CD player w/five speakers
What's wrong: The "spring latch" that holds up the trunk was not there when bought - simply hold it open or prop it up; a windshield washer bracket in the engine bay was missing - it was only cosmetic (double sided tape on the bottom has held it fine; emergency brake needs adjustment again.
No history on engine or trans issues; a dash and ignition switch needed replacement; alternator; parking brake required adjustment;headlight replaced;brakes redone;minor clutch work; and normal routine maintenance and service.
The "book value" NADA, Haggerty,Kelly BB,Classiccars,Autotraderclassics,Collector CarMarket -all websites,place its value in this grade of "excellent condition", from $48,000 to higher. ((We all get that book value, and auction sales , can be different .................. just like stocks, yet very few of us sell either much beneath book value.) XKE's have approximately doubled in value every ten years. In effect you are driving a "bank account" destined to only increase in value over time similar to collectible art, sports memorabilia etc.)
Was voted best of local shows the two times it was entered.
Time to sell; proceeds needed for investment

Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious
Tue, 17 Dec 2013This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
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."
