1967 Jaguar E-Type Roadster.  

 

 

This is a private party sale.  I am not a car dealer, car flipper, or otherwise.  I purchased this car in 2011 from a friend, who at the time did not want to sell it, but had too.  Good for me, right.  He had purchased the car from a local Southern California owner who had kept the car in storage for about 20 years.   There are a few limited paper records indicating its California History. 

 

When I purchased the car, it had not been run in what I assume was 20-plus years.  The engine turned freely.  The car needed brake work.    I recently sent the car to a local English car repair shop and did the following:

 

            Remove, flush and reinstall fuel tank

            Rebuild Front and Rear Brake Calipers with SS Sleeves

            Fluid and Filter Change

            Other misc. gaskets, etc.

           

The car runs good.  It starts right up and does not smoke when cold or warm.  The car is running a little rich, but since I have not done a carb rebuild yet, its expected.  Since its return from the shop I have driven the car about 15-Miles.  The car needs tires as it has been sitting.  I drove it around town a bit but never on the highway.

 

Since taking the photos, I have removed the luggage rack (included with sale.)

 

The car includes a complete trim kit with all rubber, interior kit (Black) etc.  The trim kit came with the car, however, I am unclear as to the age or condition.  It all seems to be in order, but some parts may be missing and I don’t guarantee fit or condition.  Consider it a bonus.

 

I have not located any rust on this car.   There is some rust around the battery tray as to be expected.  I can remove batter and provide additional photos if desired.  The floors are solid and original.  As you can see from the photos, someone has used a floor jack to lift the car, and didn’t place it in the correct spot causing the floors to dome upward.  So, they are solid but they need to be corrected, but shouldn’t be a big expense. There are door dings as seen in the photos.  Most are on the passenger side.

 

The car appears to have two repaints covering the factory silver-grey paint.  There is a blue paint job under the current Burgundy Metallic. 

 

To make it a driver,  at minimum, I would proceed with the following:

 

Carb Rebuild and Sycn

Address Oil Leaks (no large puddles, but there are some drip marks on floor)

Clutch Replacement

 

This vehicle is offered as is where is with no warranty written or implied.  I have described this vehicle to the best of my knowledge and ability.  It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect the car to satisfy themselves as to the condition of the car.  The car is available for inspection with advance notice.

 

Please ask any questions before bidding.  I will provide additional photos and answer all questions to the best of my ability. 

 

Please note, this is not a stress sale.  I am not interested in low-ball offers, or trades.  Please don’t waste either of our time.

 

Payment is to be made in full within 10-days of close of auction.  A $5,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24-hours of close of auction.  Deposit can be made via Wire Transfer, or Cash, I do not accept paypal.   The car must be removed within 15-days of close of auction. Payment to be Cash or Wire Transfer.  Any check, even if a Bank Check or Cashiers Check is not an acceptable form of payment.

Jaguar XJ electric sedan debut pushed to late 2021

Wed, Jul 15 2020

Jaguar's been testing prototypes of the coming all-electric XJ sedan for a while now, an example we saw earlier this year testing in the cold having reached an advanced stage. The plan had been to launch the battery-powered flagship fastback this year, with sales to commence early 2021. A report in The Sunday Times says that plan has changed, Jaguar pushing the XJ back to the third quarter of next year while the automaker focuses on its finances and its most profitable models. The site FormaCar reports, "The presentation date on the official website now reads, 'October 2021,'" but we haven't found that XJ-specific page. In response to questions about the Jaguar canceling the XJ, a spokesperson responded, "Our engineers continue to work on the next-generation all-electric Jaguar XJ. We remain committed to our long-term strategy and our product portfolio remains the same, but the unprecedented situation will inevitably have an impact on our immediate plans." The Jaguar Land Rover group, coming off a string of deep losses during 2018 and 2019, was working through a cost-cutting and turnaround plan when Covid-19 hammered the global economy. The whispered concern among outsiders is that Jaguar will drop the XJ entirely, but that doesn't appear to be the case for now. The automaker cut thousand of jobs while investing more than a billion pounds into its Castle Bromwich factory to prepare for electric-car assembly. At the moment, Castle Bromwich normally builds the XE and XF sedans, those offerings also in flux while Jaguar reportedly considers turning one or both of them into a small hatchback or a compact plug-in hybrid sedan. We write "normally" because the factory was put on pause to deal with Covid lockdowns, and isn't scheduled to restart until August 14. And above all of this, JLR is on the hunt for a new CEO to replace Ralf Speth. We've been expecting the new sedan to open the book on mainstream luxury EVs, the same way the I-Pace did for SUVs, but it appears that won't happen. The electric XJ will come on the Modular Longitudinal Architecture, and we've understood the specs include a 90.2-kWh battery pack, the same size as the I-Pace pack. There have been rumors about a four-motor setup, but odds favor a twin-motor arrangement. The motors in the I-Pace produce 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. For an XJ flagship, we'd expect an even more powerful option in the range.

Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible

Sun, Aug 12 2018

The Jaguar XJ-S sold for big money, cost big money to keep running, and depreciated hard once its edges got a bit rough. You'll still find examples of the XJ-S in the big American self-service yards nowadays, but this '90 is the first convertible I have found in many years. 4,715 1990 XJ-Ss were sold in the United States; I haven't been able to find a reliable figure for the number of convertibles, but it must have been small. That makes today's Junkyard Gem a real rarity— not as hard to find as a Ford Tempo All-Wheel-Drive, of course, but still a prize. Jaguar kept the 5.3-liter V12 in production from 1971 through 1992, and when it was running properly — which wasn't as often as XJ-S owners wished— it couldn't be beaten for smoothness. By 1990, Jaguar had switched from fuel injection by The Prince of Darkness to a system made by Magneti Marelli. This one is quite rough, and it shows signs of having been parked outdoors with the top down for a few years. Since you can buy nice examples for well under ten grand, restoring this one would have been a money-losing proposition. This content is hosted by a third party.

In it, Bunny Lebowski reveals that none of her toes have been cut off by kidnappers; some suspension of disbelief is required here, because Americans couldn't buy the '90 XJ-S with a manual transmission. Maybe it's a gray-market six-cylinder car. The price tag on a new 1990 XJ-S convertible was a stunning $57,000, which comes to about $113,000 in inflation-adjusted 2018 dollars. Still, BMW shoppers had to pay $70,000 for a new 750iL that year, and that V12-powered machine didn't even have a convertible top. This content is hosted by a third party.
