1972 Jaguar E Type Xke 2+2 V12 on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
I've owned this car for over 8 years, and have invested considerable amounts of time and money in an effort to restore it to its original glory. Like all Jaguars of this time period, once the engine is warm, it runs great. It's been driven about 5,000 miles since being completely gone through. Work done includes: New interior (although there is a wear spot on the driver's seat). Interior upgrades include a burled walnut dash insert and shift lever knob along with a Nardi wood steering wheel. New aluminum radiator and modern style cooling fan. New main engine wiring harness, Optima Battery, New EBC pads and rotors in the front. New OEM pads and rotors in the rear. New Spax adjustable shock and springs in the rear. New exhaust. Original Stromberg carburetors replaced with new upgraded SU carbs with foam element air filters. Upgraded Panasonic AM/FM Cassette with 6 CD Changer. The previous owner had just replaced the wire wheels prior to my purchasing the car. They are in excellent shape. Now the bad. The engine has a substantial oil leak. I suspect the rear main oil seal needs to be replaced. This can be done without removing the engine. I have detailed instructions that I'll pass along. The Speedometer and Tachometer don't work. The paint job looks great from a distance. Upon closer inspection, there are scratches, scrapes, poor touch ups, and 2 areas where body filler has cracked and chipped. The previous owner had both front floor pans replaced, and the body shop did not respect the car and thoroughly botched the installation, however they are water tight, Due to illness in the family, and other personal issues, I am forced to sell the car as is. With a little bit of work, it can be a great daily driver. With a lot of work, it can again be the most iconic car to ever travel the road. |

Jaguar design boss Callum reinterprets classic Mark 2 for himself [w/video]
Fri, 29 Aug 2014As the man behind the styling of basically every Jaguar since the mid 2000s, two things should be known about Ian Callum - he's a big fan of the brand, and he can bloody well get whatever kind of Jag he wants.
His newest car, though, is not what you might expect. Rather than an F-Type or an XJ, Callum has gone old school, and commissioned a custom, resto-modded Jaguar Mark 2.
Designed by Callum and built by Classic Motor Cars in Shropshire, England, the Mark 2 was an 18-month project between the designer and the garage. The essentially new car draws its power from a 4.3-liter engine that's been pilfered and modified from an XK. It's mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
2014 Jaguar XJR unleashed just ahead of New York show [w/video]
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Just a week after teasing us with the first image of the car, and mere hours before revealing it to the public at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar has pulled the wraps off of its 2014 XJR super sedan.
The British automaker has confirmed that the XJR will be kicking out a full 550-horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8, affording the sedan a 0-60 mile per hour sprint of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 miles per hour. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will still allow for respectable fuel economy, as Jag estimates ratings of 15 miles per gallon city and 23 highway.
Newly tuned dampers and stiffer spring rates, along with an electronically controlled differential should ensure that the massive power of the engine isn't wasted in transition to the road. Jaguar has also tweaked steering software and hydraulics, with the goal of increased road feel, response and overall feedback. 20-inch signature wheels carry wide Pirelli rubber (265-section up front, 295 in back) to keep the XJR planted.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
Tue, 17 Jun 2014We'd consider giving up vital organs for the opportunity to drive any number of vehicles on the Nürburgring: supercars, racecars, track cars, even hot hatches... but a station wagon? That might not seem like a top choice at first blush, but this is no ordinary wagon. This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake.
Now if that name leaves you scratching your head, there are several good reasons for that - not least of which is the unfortunate reality that, unlike so many performance-oriented crossovers and sport-utes, the Sportbrake is not offered in North America. But suppose it were, or that weren't a factor. You'd likely still be left wondering how the name Jaguar ended up on a station wagon in the first place, and how that machine wound up bearing the letters R-S, the suffix affixed only to Coventry's most hardcore performance models.
Our brief story goes back a little over two years to when Jaguar revealed the XF Sportbrake at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, giving its mid-level sedan an elongated roof and added cargo capacity. The Sportbrake may not be the first wagon to wear the Leaping Cat badge, but following the lamentable X-Type Sportwagon, it could be argued that the XF is the first authentic Jag estate.
