1969 Jaguar E-Type
Roadster 4.2
Meticulously restored without regard to expense
This is a great opportunity to purchase a stunning, professionally restored, example of one of the fastest
appreciating cars in the world today. E-Type jags have always been highly sought after. However; in the last
several years they have been one of the best investments in classic cars you could make. Still climbing in value
with every sale these are considered to be one of the most beautiful car designs ever built.
This completely original, numbers matching car received an extensive nut and bolt restoration from one of the
finest shops in the mid-west about 10 years ago at a cost of over $60,000 (all documented), after the purchase
price of the car, and was completely restored. Today this restoration would cost in excess of $100,000. Every
mechanical component, every part and every panel was removed and restored to new or better. All the brightwork was
re-plated or polished as needed. All soft parts replaced. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and all painted
surfaces stripped and properly repainted. The end result was an award winning, better then new E-type. Since it
restoration it has been driven approx. 1,000 miles.
If you are considering a restoration project of your own, please reconsider as you can buy this car at a fraction
of the price. Imagine buying a Jaguar brand new in 1969 and then put it in a time capsule. Open the time capsule
today and this is what you have. You can spend ridiculous time and money trying to duplicate this finished vehicle
or you can buy this one, complete and pristine for a fraction of the cost.
After owning the car for the past ten years the owner decided to donate it to a local foundation to benefit cancer
research. I bought It from this foundation with the intent to keep it as part of my British car collection.
However, my circumstances have changed and now I must offer it to the next lucky collector. It runs and drives as
if it were new with that smooth silky Jaguar acceleration these cars are known for. It shifts wonderfully up and
down through all gears and stops very well with no pull or fade. The interior still looks and smells new. The paint
is still incredible with only a few very minor imperfections from the few miles it has traveled. I can find 3-4
small pinpoint type nicks. Likely stone chips. All the glass is like new. All the chrome is show quality.
The only items I know not to be original are seen in the photos. It has a beautifully installed, later type,
steering wheel slightly smaller than the original and much better for driver comfort, the beautiful wood shift knob
and upgraded stereo. Other than those items it appears to be all original as it was in 1969 when it left the
factory. And of course the tires.
It was recently appraised by a professional appraiser, Certified Appraisers Guild of America, and given a value
range between $85,000-95,000. In this appraisal the appraiser rated it as a number 2 condition car. It was likely
a number one car at the time the restoration was completed and has been driven enough to now be considered a number
two. The appraisal and all receipts from the restoration are included in the sale.
The previous owner, who had it restored, was too tall for the car. He knew he would never drive it in anything but
perfect weather. For this reason he had it restored without the soft top. E-types are not the most comfortable cars
for drivers over 6;3". The top literally gets in the way. He was too tall to drive it with the top up and when it
is down it was impossible to put the seat all the way back to make room for his long legs. To remedy this he had
the bulkhead behind the seats restored to appear as though there was never a soft top on the car (see photos). He
never intended to have it out in anything but perfect weather so this suited him better than fighting with the top.
Like many people, he believed this car looked best without the top up or down. It is a beautiful car without the
top and the finish around the rear bulkhead looks perfectly natural. Currently there is no soft top offered with
this car.
I have tried to include as many high resolution photos as possible. Please look these over carefully as they are an
important part of the description of this car. If you are lucky enough to live close to central Ohio please take
the time to come inspect it in person. It is well worth the trip.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

2022 Jaguar F-Pace Review | Brings some flash to a subdued segment

Tue, Jan 18 2022

The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace is an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the regular crowd of compact luxury SUVs from Europe and Asia. It bears the leaper proudly on its tightly-wrapped and attractive bodywork, and there’s little to complain about on the interior, too. Jaguar offers a level of performance available for whatever fits your fancy, but this SUV would rather be a cruiser and backroad bruiser versus a Nurburgring-carver no matter the model you choose. Some of our usual Jaguar Land Rover gripes have dissipated with the F-Pace recently, as itÂ’s now sporting a competent suite of tech to match its good looks. Plus, the new and complex inline-six engine is a real treat to use no matter the environment — it pulls hard when called upon, but has a smooth and luxurious side around town. We think itÂ’s the engine to get.  The F-Pace fits in nicely to this large group of luxury crossovers on sale today, offering an unmatched level of style and a good dose of substance to back it up. WeÂ’d still recommend a couple luxury SUVs before it, but the F-Pace is a more worthy alternative than itÂ’s ever been today.  Interior & Technology   |   Passenger & Cargo Space   |   Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive   |   Pricing & Features   |   Crash Ratings & Safety Features WhatÂ’s new for 2022? There are no notable changes for the F-Pace in 2022 beyond a few optional items being made standard. Those include a power tailgate and privacy glass for the four- and six-cylinder models, and adaptive cruise control with lane-following assist for the SVR. The F-Pace received a makeover for the 2021 model year, and you can read more about that here. What are the F-Pace interior and in-car technology like? The F-PaceÂ’s interior just went through a big rethink last year that upgraded it into the realm of a top-shelf luxury cabin. It has an upscale look, uses excellent materials, and while it may struggle to find that balance between the inclusion of features and maintaining ease of use, nobody will criticize it for a lack of trying with technology. Per usual with Jaguar, the color and materials choices are vast, allowing you to find a combination that best fits your personality. The standard heated (front) seats are comfortable, and the interior as a whole measures up to its leading competitors out of Germany in the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.
