1969 Jaguar E-Type Convertible

This is an excellent opportunity to own a quickly appreciating Jaguar XKE roadster in superb original condition. Selling out of an estate the owner has past away and this car is being offered well below market value.  It was described to me as his "pride and joy" driven occasionally through the country roads near his home and farm. It was always garaged in a heated building and covered when not in used. It always received whatever care and maintenance needed to keep it in top condition mechanically.  I was told it received one repaint about 10 years ago in its original regency red color as seen in the photos. It appears to be a very high quality paint job that has held up very well. I believe the trunk and engine area are still in the original paint. The paint shines like new but does show a few chips and minor blemishes consistent with a car that has been driven occasionally.  I would describe this car as a excellent driver quality. The interior was redone at the same time and still looks great. Although the carpet could benefit from a good cleaning. The seats, doors, center console and dash look almost new. The top was also replaced and still looks new. It does not have a boot cover for the top in the down position.

Mechanically it supports the type of care described, as well as the low original miles. It starts right up and sounds wonderful. It holds excellent oil pressure, in or out of gear at any temp. at idle or top RPM, does not heat up at all and everything seems to work just as it should.  It does not burn oil and has not left so much as a drip in my garage. Driving it is truly a pleasure. It shifts very smoothly up and down through all gears. It stops quickly and perfectly straight. It handles like an E-type should. Corners great and reminds you of a wonderful time when motoring in a British convertible on a sunny afternoon was a great past time. It is a rare classic which can be enjoyed in todays traffic. It has strong acceleration in all gears. No valve clatter under hard acceleration. Just the classic smooth power e-types are known for. The chrome is beautiful and shines like new. Steering wheel, guages, shift knob and dash all original and look great.

Early series I E-types have already appreciated to the point where few collectors can afford them and even if you could it's doubtful you would take one for a drive in the country without worrying constantly about your six figure investment. These series II cars are raising as well but still offer collectors a relatively affordable, better driving, alternative that will likely follow the series one cars as they continue to fetch record prices. Enzo Ferrari  said the Jaguar E-type was the most beautiful car he had ever seen. The E-type roadster is one of the most recognized collectible cars in the world. It can be enjoyed in modern traffic and is one of the most comfortable classic sports cars you will ever drive.

The time to ask questions and complete inspections is before you bid. Once you bid you have agreed to buy this car at your bid price. The reserve is very low and I have no doubt it will sell. I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the sale if the car sells prior to the end of this listing. I require a $1,000 Non- refundable deposit within 24 hours after the auction ends. No exceptions.  The balance is due within seven days. I can continue to store the car for up to 4 weeks at no charge while you arrange shipping. If you live close to central Ohio I encourage you to come inspect this beatiful classic in oerson. If not I will endevor to accomidate third pary inspections. However; they will need to be done at my home.

Please call me with questions or to schedule an inspection at 614-352-3434

Jaguar XE spied flying over London

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We 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.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X and Model S: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 8 2018

When Jaguar released its first specifications on the 2019 I-Pace, we decided to see how it stacks up with a number of other EVs including the Tesla Model 3, Chevy Bolt EV, and Hyundai Kona EV. The reason being that they all deliver between 200 and 300 miles of range, and they were all quite close in size. But it wasn't a perfectly accurate comparison, because the Jaguar occupies an odd space in the electric market. While it offers similar range and size to those more entry-level EVs, it packs substantially more power, more brand cachet, and, once the official pricing was released, a much higher price tag. As such, we wanted to also compare it with the cars synonymous with luxury electric motoring (literally), the Tesla Model X and Model S. We're only comparing it with the base-level 75D models of each Tesla, since they are the closest in price and performance to the Jaguar. You can see the raw stats below, and can find more analysis and highlights farther down. If you'd like to compare these cars with others, be sure to try out our comparison tools. Performance All three of these electric cars use a similar powertrain consisting of two electric motors, one up front and one in the rear to power all four wheels. The Jaguar I-Pace's 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque is a fair bit more than the 328 horsepower and 387 pound-feet combined power from the Teslas, according to Motor Trend. But in the sprint to 60 mph, the Jaguar doesn't really gain an advantage. It's 0.4 seconds quicker than the Model X, but 0.3 sec. behind the Model S. This is despite the Jaguar weighing about the same as the Model S, and a few hundred pounds lighter than the Model X. View 32 Photos At 90 kWh, the Jaguar also has a larger battery capacity than the Tesla 75D models, but range is again mid-pack between Musk's cars. At 240 miles, it's just 3 miles ahead of the Model X, and 19 miles behind the Model S. The I-Pace and Model X also are about as hungry for electricity as each other, both with an energy consumption estimate of about 36 kWh/100 miles, while the Model S is the most frugal at 33. All three vehicles have the ability to use DC fast chargers, with Jaguar claiming an 80-percent charge in 40 minutes at a 100-kW charger. But only the Teslas have access to the Supercharger network, and they come with credits for free charging up to 400 kWh at those stations. Exterior and Interior Dimensions In every measurable way, the Jaguar is smaller than the two Teslas.

2021 Jaguar F-Type Luggage Test | Get away, and look extremely good doing it

Fri, Aug 14 2020

Just like the Porsche 911 I performed a luggage test on not too long ago, the 2021 Jaguar F-Type is not a luggage-hauling machine. It’s a sports-car-oriented grand tourer, and it also happens to be stonking fast with a supercharged V8 under the hood. Since the engine is in the front, that leaves the rear trunk for all the cargo coming onboard. Assuming you want to take your F-Type on vacations and longer journeys (you do), the respectably-sized boot will come in handy. Jaguar says the coupe (what weÂ’re testing) has 14.4 cubic feet of space, whereas the convertible just about cuts that space in half with only 7.3 cubes. From a numbers perspective, the Jag just edges out the 911 (13.8 cubic feet of space combined between the frunk and rear seat). However, weÂ’ve learned to never take those numbers at face value. I use different equipment than Riswick does in Portland: Two carry-on suitcases sized (24 inches long, 15.5 wide, 10 deep); one carry-on suitcase (21.7L x 13.7W x 9 D); one medium-size suitcase you have to check (24.5L x 16.8W x 11.5D) and one larger, full-size suitcase (33.8L x 21.5W x 13D). The second full-size suitcase didnÂ’t get the call up, because one look at the luggage compartment was all I needed to know that two of them werenÂ’t going in there. Getting into the luggage compartment is luxurious enough for a Jag. Use the button on the fob, a toggle switch on the interior, or press the button under the lid. ItÂ’s fully powered going up and down, so you can devote all of your bodyÂ’s energy to wrestling the car around corners. The space itself is rather shallow and hindered by a privacy cover that hangs low. YouÂ’ll need to remove that shade to take advantage of the entire space, but we started with it on to see what could fit under it. This F-Type is low, so even though you have to lift things over the rear bumper, itÂ’s not horribly strenuous. I initially slid two of the carry-on suitcases in. Those fit lying flat, but there wasnÂ’t much extra space. To take advantage of what was left, I squeezed in the fancy bag (22L x 8.8W x 12D). With the privacy shade intact, youÂ’re not going to fit any more suitcases than that due to height restrictions. A very shallow item could slide on top of the inboard suitcase, but it would have to be very short. Another configuration I tried showed that the medium suitcase and one carry-on could fit. Additionally, the full-size suitcase also fits if itÂ’s in there alone.
