Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

Very Rare low mileage Primrose Yellow Jaguar XKE Convertible (E-Type) DETAILS:
This particular 1974 Jaguar Series 3 has been meticulously maintained over the last 39 years by the original first and only owner. It is beautiful and unrestored. The primrose paint is nearly flawless with no notable imperfections to speak of. The same goes for the chrome bumpers that shine like new. The rest of the chrome accents are equally as nice with no imperfection that we have found. The black cloth top and hard top is also in original condition. Inside the black and saddle interior is in great condition with no major wear. The same goes for the carpets, door panels and dashboard. The vehicle does have the original spare, jack and wheel wrench. Under the hood boasts the desired 5.3-liter V 12 attached to an automatic transmission making this vehicle a joy to drive. This vehicle also equipped with A/C making it very collectible and a great investment. The mileage shows 35,312 original miles, and we do have documentation to support it. The car has always been in climate controlled storage and never driven in bad weather! In the last 10 years the car has undergone major preventive maintenance repair including belts, hoses, fluids, and wheel bearing. This is all documented in the log described above. Currently the only known defect is the water pump bearing is starting to make noise and will need to be rebuilt or replaced! The condition of this vehicle is remarkable with every component functioning in a state of preservation rarely seen in a car of this vintage. This was the last year for the legendary E-Type, and many argue these later cars are the most desirable due to their increased comfort and power over earlier models. Excerpt from 1961-1974 Jaguar E-Type article by Mark McCourt, Hemming’s Motor News. "The purist sports car morphed into a luxurious, powerful GT with the V-12-powered 1971-1974 Series 3s. The Fixed-Head Coupe didn't return in this generation, and the Open Two Seater was now based on the longer 2+2 wheelbase, which allowed for power steering and its first optional automatic gearbox. Distinguishing features of the final series were the E-type's first engine intake grille, fender flares over 15-inch chromed steel or wire wheels, ventilation grilles in the 2+2's hatch and in the roadster's optional fiberglass hardtop and four (later two) exhaust tips."
Due to age this auto is sold ‘AS-IS’, that is to say with no
warranty. So please ask questions and I will do my best to promptly reply! |

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.
Jaguar XE hits the 'Ring wearing swirly camo
Wed, 21 May 2014Jaguar is happy to show off its new XE sedan on its social media sites, but when testing at the Nürburgring, it's a very different story. These spy shots show the new model in camouflage to make it much harder to discern, but there are still some intriguing details to pick out.
These photos give us a really good look at the XE's quirky rear end. The sedan has a super short trunk that almost fools you into thinking its a notchback, but the top edge of the trunk is clearly visible. It's a somewhat odd-looking design with the rear glass running underneath the roof's overhang to create an integrated spoiler. Despite the camo, the front end is the same as ever with a blunt edge and sharp headlights. Jag certainly isn't afraid to try something a little different compared to the XE's competitors, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
Some technical details about the XE are already established. This 3 Series-fighter is slated to go on sale in foreign markets in 2015 and in the US in 2016. We know that it ride's on Jag's new aluminum platform that also underpins the C-X17 crossover concept, and power comes from a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, available in petrol- or diesel-fueled configurations.
2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe [w/video]
Thu, 16 Jan 2014This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.
