I purchased the car from an enthusiast with 29004 original miles that bought the car in July of 1972. This car had 26,624 original miles & had just been repainted in early 1972. Other than touch ups on miscellaneous chips & scratches; the paint is still the first re-spray from 1972. Therefore; paint is old & has checking, bubbles, & minor defects. I would not consider the paint show condition but rather a decent looking car from about ten feet away. There is some paint bubbling (swelling) on the rocker panel (see photo) but again this paint is from 1972. The floor pans are original with one 2" by 6" welded patch between the front edge of the drivers side foot well drop pan and the bottom of the firewall. Other than that, the trunk, main floors, and foot well drop pans are original (see photos). Please note the deck lid (lower trunk floor) drain holes are also original and functional. Immediately after the new owner purchased this Jaguar he had a tune up, valve job, brake work, & clutch replacement documented by an original service ticket (dated 7-27-1972) showing the car vin# & mileage of 26624. Another service ticket dated 10-11-1996 for an oil change and complete brake job again shows the Vin# and original mileage of 28,627. There are other numerous sale tickets for filters, oil, brake fluid, exhaust, carburetor rebuilds, etc. from 1972 to present. This XKE has documented service & mileage history with the previous owners signed mileage affidavit. The owner had the seats recovered (maybe vinyl?) and the soft top replaced over 20 years ago but they are fully functional. My Jaguar runs & drives EXCELLENT showing great oil pressure at idle. All systems appear to be functional and I drove this car on several occasions. The steering wheel is original and the horn occasionally goes off in a hard left turn. The tires are original with tubes from 1972 but actually run well. An electric cooling fan has been added and it has never overheated while I have driven it. This Jaquar XKE is an original white car, black interior, with all numbers matching the original VIN tag. The radio & speakers fit correctly but are not original. The general interior is original and in good serviceable condition including carpets, door panels, etc. The spare is included. The chrome is original and in good condition but again showing patina. There is no boot cover when the top is down. Yes, I am sick about offering my car for sale as it will be unlikely to replace it but storage is a problem & I need to sell sometime in the near future. I have replaced the battery, clutch master & slave cylinder rebuild, and small misc. items. All buyers must have a PayPal account with good feedback. Buyers with bad feedback or low history need to contact me BEFORE bidding as I reserve the right to "kick" a suspect bidder. I reserve the right to end the auction early, however; my intention is to let it run the full duration. I have attempted to describe my Jaguar as comprehensively as possible but you must inspect the car or ask specific questions BEFORE the auction ends. You may also contact me at 319-721-4356 to discuss.

2018 Jaguar E-Pace (almost) revealed in new spy photos

Tue, Jun 20 2017

Each time we've seen the Jaguar E-Pace out testing, it has been covered in a variety of fake plastic body parts to obscure the actual body. Finally, Jaguar relaxed its camouflage campaign, giving us the chance to see the car's bodywork almost entirely exposed. The only disguise this car was wearing was a form-fitting vinyl wrap. The test car in question confirms a number of our suspicions. The rear hatch is, indeed, extremely raked, which gives the vehicle a sportier look, though will surely reduce cargo capacity. If this crossover was coming from one of the German automakers, they would probably call this a "coupe." The front and rear fenders are also rather exaggerated, and the rear haunches are accented by a rising window line that ends in a pinched-off quarter window. The nose and tail of the crossover are pretty standard Jaguar. The layout of the lights and grilles are generally what you would find on its big brother, the F-Pace. The headlights appear to have some sort of LED arrangement as there are no clearly defined projector or reflector elements. Of course, there's no guarantee that these lights will be used across the line-up. They may just be a feature on higher trim levels. Now that we've also seen the car with so few covers and with production-ready sheet metal, we now expect to see the E-Pace fully revealed in person very soon, probably by the end of the year. It will likely be a 2018 model, and may share engines and drivetrains with the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, since the body shape matches that of a vehicle with a transverse mounted engine.

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.

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.
