1972 JAGUAR E-TYPE V12 CONVERTIBLE

Up for auction is an un-restored all original '72 Jaguar E-Type Convertible w/ 29,000 original miles.  Everything is original and numbers matching. Completely rust free California car, still has the California plates on it from the last time it was registered.  $8000.00 was just spent on having the engine and mechanics completely gone through and it runs excellent.  You wont be disappointed.  The car is located less than 1 miles from the Cincinnati International Airport, you could fly in and drive it home if you choose.

The Engine runs excellent.  It has the 5.3L V-12 engine.  No issues.  It fires right up.  It is all original except for the plugs, wires, coil and battery of course.  Needs nothing.

The Transmission shifts good.  I have found no issues with it,  Shifts just like it should.

The Drivetrain is good.  Tires are good.  It drives straight.  It feels tight.  No strange noises or issues.  The braking system was gone through and works great.  The suspension is original and was found to have no issues.  No rust.

The Interior is great.  Its all original, and in good condition. The leather is great.  The dash has no cracks.  All the gauges work.  The door panels are excellent.  The boot release works.  The convertible top and top frame is excellent and works with no issues.  The carpet is clean and it has the original floor mats in good shape.  All the lights work. The heat works.  The e-brake works.  You will not be disappointed with the interior its near perfect. It has the original wire wheel spare tire w/ the original Michelin tire.  There is a slight issue with the driver seat, when you move the back of the seat the lever does not always catch immediately, but if you play with it it will catch, needs a little attention.

The Exterior is good.  It has the original paint on it and is not with out it's flaws as it is 40 years old, however as you can see in the pics it is in good over all condition, and shines beautifully, with a few scratches and a few blemishes.  It has a spot on the rear deck in front of the trunk lid right in the middle, see pic, which I would say is one of its biggest flaws, it appears to me to be cracked paint, about a half dollar in size.  Its other biggest flaw in the paint is around where the hard top sits, but that is to be expected,  it has some small light scratching, I would say 3 to 4 noticeable spots.  Other than that it may have 1 or 2 other tiny blemishes just from being 40 yr old paint, but again its in great condition for its age.  The body is rust free, dent free, ding free.  The chrome shines nicely.  The wheels are beautiful.  The convertible top is great, never been in the elements what so ever, no issues with it.  It comes with a Hard Top, the hard top is in good condition.  The car has never seen rain, underneath is rust free.  The exhaust is good.  

If you have any questions or you would like to schedule a time to see the car please feel free to call me anytime 859-803-0858.  My name is John.

Jaguar XE SV Project 8 now available for Nurburgring rides

Thu, Oct 25 2018

There are a number of ways to experience the Nurburgring Nordschleife, including being driven around by a professional driver. Jaguar runs its own program that does just such a thing called the Race Taxi program. It just became even more appealing because Jaguar has added the XE SV Project 8 as one of the available cars. In case you had forgotten, it's a special car for the program because it currently holds the record for fastest production sedan at the track. Even without a record to its fame, the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is special for other reasons. It's the most powerful production Jaguar with 592 horsepower. That engine can propel it to 60 mph in a claimed 3.3 seconds. Most of the car's exterior is completely unique to the car. It's a rare machine, too, with only 300 sold. If you want to go for a ride, well first you have to get to the Nurburgring. But once you're there, hand Jaguar 199 euros, or about $227 at current exchange rates, and a driver will take you for a lap of the track. The company brags that you'll experience speeds of over 155 mph, and hit 1.8g in the steeply banked Karussell corner. You only get the one lap, but at least you know it will be a roughly 7 1/2 -minute thrill ride. If you can't get into the Project 8, you'll still be able to ride along in the 575-horsepower F-Type SVR or XJR575. Related Video:

2017 Jaguar F-Type slashes $3,600 off base model

Thu, Nov 12 2015

It won't be quite such a drain on the checking account to hop into a Jaguar F-Type for the 2017 model year. The 2017 F-Type Coupe will start at $62,395 (after the $995 destination charge), which is $3,600 less than the 2016. Jag will also give the convertible a $2,700 price cut to begin at $66,395. Drivers won't really be giving up amenities with either of these. Both entry models will use the company's supercharged 3.0-liter V6 making 340 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. They'll come with partially electric six-way adjustable seats and a fixed metal roof for the coupe. New standard features will include a valet mode, solar attenuating windshield glass, and the brand's EliteCare warranty with five-years/60,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance. The vehicles also still pack navigation and a surround sound stereo system. The 2017 F-Types will arrive at dealers in late spring 2016. The move to cut prices follows on Jag's decision in September to slash the cost of the XF 35t by over $5,200. Related Video: THE 2017 JAGUAR F-TYPE • 2017 Model Year F-TYPE lineup to include new $61,400 1 F-TYPE Coupe and new $65,400 1 F-TYPE Convertible entry models, reducing available cost of entry to the sports car family by $3,600 and $2,700 respectively • Standard Best-in-Class Jaguar EliteCare Ownership Package 2 Featuring New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Roadside Assistance, Jaguar InControl® Protect & RemoteTM and the Longest Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance Package of any Luxury Brand in the Market (Mahwah, N.J) – November 12, 2015 – Jaguar North America today announced it will expand the price range of the F-TYPE lineup in the U.S. for the 2017 model year to include new entry-level coupe and convertible models which lower the introductory price of the F-TYPE Coupe & Convertible to $61,400 1 and $65,400 1 respectively. The 2017 line-up of Jaguar sports cars will continue to consist of the F-TYPE, F-TYPE S and the range topping F-TYPE R. The addition of a new entry price level for 2017 Jaguar F-TYPE builds upon the pricing realignment strategy announced as part of The Next Generation of Jaguar for the 2016 model year in which an improved competitive value position was brought to market through a combination of new entry priced models, increased standard equipment and lower MSRPs that all help the brand target the heart of the luxury market.

Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.
