This is a 1968 Jaguar E Type Coupe (NOT a 2 + 2), Series 1.5, Old English White with black interior, in dire need of a restoration. It is a one owner car with a sad story. It was placed in secured storage in the late '80s when the owner was temporarily relocated for his work. While away, he fell seriously ill, returned to the States only to discover his car had been stolen. He was determined to find the car. Two years later, a ticket related to the car arrived in the mail which helped him track it to a neighboring county where he found it at a trim shop. He confronted the shop and told them it was his car and he was there to take it back. They didn't give it to him. He left, the police finally got involved. Later he received a call from the police to come get the car and bring a tow truck because most of the windows had been shot out. Still ill, he had the car towed to his brother's house who put the car in the garage, but at some point over the decades it was moved outside and there it sat.
The good news is the car is pretty complete. The shift knob and some windshield trim is missing. All the chrome bumpers are straight and excellent candidates for rechroming. The bonnet has some rust holes but fits really well. The car will need sills and floors and lots of detail welding. Of course, it will need some windows.
This is an ambitious project but it can be restored. After all, they're not making them anymore! And starting with a car like this you know there will be no surprises!
I am the owner of the shop that used to work on this car back in the day when it was beautiful. The owner has asked me to handle the sale of his car. He did confirm that the car had never been wrecked, he did have it painted before it was stolen, and when he got the car back from the theives it looked the same except for the windows. Oh, if he had just had the glass replaced! He said he was really too ill to address it.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. We will certainly assist in helping load it on the flatbed.

Jaguar to reveal small sedan at Paris show
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Small sedans are big business for luxury automakers. The C-Class is the top seller for Mercedes-Benz, much as the 3 Series is for BMW, but Jaguar has historically missed out on that market. Its last attempt, the X-Type, proved woefully inadequate, and Jaguar hasn't attempted to take on that market again since. But that's all about to change.
Coventry has been working on a new small Jaguar for some time now (using test mules like the one above wearing modified XF body panels), and according to the latest reports coming in from the UK, it will showcase the result of those efforts at the Paris Motor Show next October. The show car will take the form of a pre-production concept that is expected to preview the production version very closely before the final item is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Tipped to be called XS (somewhat appropriately for the brand's smallest model), the new sedan is expected to be the first to use the company's new aluminum platform previewed by the C-X17. Expect styling to follow along similar lines to said crossover concept and the F-Type sportscar, with eventual sedan, wagon and coupe versions to round out the family.
Jaguar XE spied flying over London
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
