1962 Jaguar XKE. Drives and shifts  beautifully. All system were rebuilt a few years  ago and very few miles put on the car since. All numbers match. I had the car repainted with a 2 stage, base coat, clear coat finish. Vredestein radial tires. Starts easily. I upgraded the Lucas starter to a high torque starter and the Lucas generator to a small, high output, aircraft type alternator for reliability. The original units will come with the car. Also added was a nice sound system with a multi disc cd changer in the trunk and 2 speakers mounted behind the seats and two in the console below the center gauges,  the rears being barely visible unless you go in search of them. Rust free car and was restored from a very solid car to begin the restoration.

I removed the front bumper with motif bar. I have it and it comes with the car. I simply prefer the look of the front nose this way, similar to the competition lightweight E Types of the early 60's. Very simple to put it back on.

I am selling the car to make room for a new project that is nearing completion and need the garage space. I still need to take a photo or two of the car with the top up. I have never had to put it up as I have never taken the car out on a bad day. Always kept in a dry garage.

All electrics work fine, and all systems function perfectly. Great brakes, all rebuilt when restored, along with the entire drivetrain and carbs. I had not started the car for a few months. Today I checked all fluids, pulled up the choke, turned on the key, hit the start button and the car started immediately. It always has. The triple ,2 inch carbs are all set perfectly and the car idles smoothly at 800 rpm with oil pressure at idle of some 60 lbs.

The floors are not the early flat floor style, but this is one of the first few cars that came with floor pans for more leg room. It is not the original style steering wheel. I changed it to this smaller wheel but have the Motolita wheel that came with the car when I bought it and it will come with the car.. I like this smaller steering wheel for ease of cornering and more leg room.

A beautiful car and a great investment.

 

 

I had a request for additional photos of the engine bay and underneath the car. I did not clean it up underneath as it is 100 degrees today, so forgive the bit of dirt and a couple of cob webs.

Jaguar XJ could move to all-electric platform late this year

Mon, Jan 22 2018

The Jaguar XJ is getting a little long in the tooth. The current generation of Jaguar's flagship sedan debuted back in 2009, making it one of the oldest vehicles still on the market. This week, Autocar reported that a new XJ could debut late this year and would move to an all-electric platform. That would place the XJ straight against cars like the Tesla Model S and upcoming Porsche Mission E, presumably sharing parts with the upcoming I-Pace electric crossover. While a couple of refreshes have kept the Jaguar competitive, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 have gone through full redesigns since the XJ debuted. (Two for the Audi). Compared to the Germans, the Jaguar looks and feels dated, especially when it comes to technology, active safety and alternative powertrains. In the U.S., the XJ is only available with either a supercharged gasoline V6 or V8. The competition from Germany, Japan and the U.S. all offer some form of electrification. Moving to an all-electric powertrain would be a huge shift for Jaguar and is sure to spark some debate among enthusiasts. The British automaker has previously stated it plans to electrify all new vehicles after 2020. Look for electrified variants of current models to be available, too. The new XJ is rumored to be co-developed with a new model called the Road Rover, a sort of high-riding sedan or wagon in the vein of the Audi allroad or Volvo V90 Cross Country. Like the XJ, the Road Rover would use a battery electric powertrain. Look for more news on both models later this year. Related Video:

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
