Drive Type: RWD

Trim: 2+2 coupe
This 1966 Jaguar XKE is a barn find in rural
Georgia. It is the 294th 2+2 covered headlight car out of more than
2,600 Series 1 cars made. It is a project car, but is in good shape for
its age and ready for restoration. It comes with 4.2-litre engine with
3 carbs, automatic transmission and dealer installed A/C. The odometer
reads 57,993 miles. It was last registered in Puerto Rico in 1984, and
was shipped to Georgia not long after. Since then it has been sitting
(30 years) in a barn with a concrete floor.
This
classic is white with a black interior. At one time in its history, it
had been repainted maroon, then the last owner repainted it in white
lacquer, which has crackled. The paint has been partially stripped, then left in storage while the owner
moved on to other projects. The car is missing
the exhaust system, and it has some rust, mainly in the driver's side
rocker, door bottom and floor (all pictured). There's also a little rust at the bottom
of the hatch and a few other spots. I can see Bondo work in several
places. The turn signal lenses are cracked and one is missing. With
that said, I've seen much worse. The spare tire
well is in great shape, however, and the tire may be the original
Dunlop. The motor turned over 3 months ago. The interior is in very
good shape with some normal wear. There are no cracks or tears in the
door panels, dash or console. The seats are pretty nice. The headliner and
most of the carpet has been removed to check floor condition (all 4 shown). All the
glass is present. The rest of the car appears to be complete, except for the front bumper, which the previous owner is trying to locate. The last picture shows the car as found. Please let me know if you
would like to see more pictures or if you have any other questions. Call
me at 912-257-5333. This car will be sold with
a Bill of Sale ONLY, as Georgia does not title cars this old. I also
have the 1984 Puerto Rico registration. High
bidder to pay $1,000 non-refundable through PayPal upon completion of
auction. Balance to be paid within 7 business days. The car will not
be released until all funds have been cleared. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding! |

2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar sculpture by RCA design students is a minimal beauty
Fri, 24 May 2013With its well-deserved reputation for high design, it is not particularly surprising to see Jaguar reaching outside of the automotive realm for future inspiration. To that end, the British automaker recently enlisted the talents of students at the Royal College of Art to create a piece of forward-looking, automotive-inspired sculpture.
The result of this project can be seen above; a sculpture created by RCA students Claire Miller and Ewan Gallimore, and unveiled to a small audience to kick off London's Clerkenwell Design Week. The spare and rather elegant form created by the talented pair absolutely harkens back to coupes from Jaguar's past as well as its present (read: F-Type) without aping any one model particularly.
In a press release, the artists had this to say about the work: "Our form relates to the Jaguar brand through its sculptural volumes, bespoke materials and visual lightness. These elements helped us to create a sculpture that aimed to display a seamless transition between interior and exterior space." Get a better look at the Jaguar artwork in the gallery above, or read through the press release, which follows.
