Year:1973
Mileage:66074
Color:
Location:
Jericho, New York, United States
 Once in a blue moon something truly outstanding comes along ... this is that 'something'. If one word could describe this 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 it would be 'stunning'. This is no feral cat. The most luxurious of the XKE range, the 2+2 was built for comfort.
Add to that, superior condition and the best color combination available - 'British Racing Green' with 'Biscuit' leather interior - and you've got an investment quality classic car you can be very proud of for years and years. Price trends for all XKEs have been continually rising for years. The consensus among automotive journalist is that they fully expect them to proceed in that direction - UP and UP. In 'Brit Speak' thie Jaguar has been 'well sorted'. An investment that you can take daily pleasure from. This XKE is how you'd like to find one - well cared for, turn-key and ready for your driving pleasure  Through the following photos and descriptions (there are many as there is nothing to hide here), I'll attempt to show what a well cared for vehicle this 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 - Series III is. Please view all the photos and read the descriptions ... then decide for yourself if this the vehicle for you. Just 66,074 actual miles to date (only 1,600 miles per year on average) - all well cared for from day one.
 Wouldn't this Jag look good sitting in your driveway?  Interspersed with actual photos of this exceptional XKE 2+2 are a few period adverts ... for both the information they contain and a little British flavor.  With two daughters in college and a recent back surgery that now makes it difficult getting in and out of the Jag ... it just seems like the right time to fine her a new home.  From any angle this Jaguar has the lines that have been talked about in the automotive industry for years. A sense of true style that many have tried to emulate with precious few succeeding. It's a 'benchmark' that's very high ... it set the notion of a true 'sports car' for years and years. An icon of the era and 'British' in every sense of the word.  Compare this Jag with the Audi and Range Rover in the background.
 Well, a refined animal anyway. Like a Swiss watch on steroids.  The XKE was a radical design for its time ... it sort of put the 'swoop' in sports car design.  The interior is well appointed, in great condition ... and, everything works. All of it.  The odometer is in good working order and now reads just 66,074 actual miles (only 1,612 miles / year average for 41 years) Yep, a 'Country Club' car. Low miles with exquisite care. Just how you'd like to find one.  Well appointed in every way.  'Connally' hides throughout ... all in the quite desirable 'biscuit' color.
 4-speed manual transmission - the best. It there a true sports car with an automatic? The 4-speed shifts flawlessly and is in perfect working order.  'Jaguar' OEM rubber mats with the Jaguar logo have protected the floors since new.  This period advert kind of says it all.  All the leather upholstery is in excellent condition and has acquired a gentle, pleasing 'patina' over the years.  Yes, two adults can 'squeeze' in here, just ... 2 children or teens, no problem.  Seat backs are also in fine condition ... no rips, tears, gouges or broken seams.  Lots of good information here.  Another creature comfort of the 2+2 is the rear hatch with room enough for all the luggage for an extended weekend. You can even have custom fitted luggage handmade by a few of the specialty shops that advertise on the web.  A bag of clubs, a bagged sail or two, your eBay purchases ... lots of room for what have you.  Again, all in excellent condition.  You have to love the Enzo Ferrari quote in the upper right of this advert ...
 It's time for a look under the hood ...  Like I said previously, a Swiss watch on steroids.
 This V12 has been meticulously maintained since day one. It's a beautifully designed engine what has been trouble free.
 This big V12 in a small compartment is, at best, hard to photograph. A simple web search will bring up all the specs. of this fine V12 engine if you'd care to delve further.  This 'E-Type' has always been well cared for - a weekend driver as these many photos well show. Its always started with a simple twist of the key and has gone with nary a hiccup for years on end.  Tuned to perfection, it's ready when you are.  Sorry for the blurry photo - the ID Tag showing a build date of 1973 and the VIN # UD1S74461  A period ad from a previous model with the smaller 4.2 liter inline 6-cylinder engine.  Now a look at the interesting bits ... the chassis, suspension and exhaust system.  Up she goes for a good looking over - or under, whatever the case may be.  Beautiful chrome wire wheels with true knockoff hubs. This XKE sports a near new set of 'Michelin - Harmony' radial tires in the correct size of: P215/65R15. They might have a few hundred miles on them at this point. This is a matched set of five 'Michelin' tires - four on the vehicle and a spare located under the boot.  The suspension if in top notch condition throughout. Disk brakes all around, of course.  Rear suspension with new 'Boge' shocks.  Note the mud splatters on the fenders ... promptly taken care of on arrival at home.  Routine maintenance has been performed throughout its 41 year life.
 Stainless steel (read: expensive) dual exhaust with a 4-port exit - and, a sound that will stir your soul.  Custom fabricated upgrade - a highly efficient, all aluminum alloy radiator.
 Two models were available for 1973 - the roadster and the 2+2.  Left rear ...  Right rear.  A close-up of the 'Boge' rear shocks. 
 One of the proud crew that has helped service and maintain this XKE over the years.  As a tribute to these great guys ... You've been fantastic to work with. Thank you.  Another advert from the period. This one looks to be photographed in Scotland.  The following group of photos are various detail shots that need little or no explanation. I truly want you to feel as if you're here 'kicking tires' for yourself.
 The spare is located under the rear deck. Again, just one of the matched set of 5 'Michelins'.  Tool kit included ... Knockoff hammer, jack, tool bag.  Still more detail shots .... I truly want to leave no stone unturned in this eBay offering. 
 From my garage to yours ... it can be simple and easy.  It'd look good in anyone's garage ... it's that good.  Another glamor shot ... 
 'Jaguar Clubs of America' selected this Jaguar for their 2011 calendar.
This and the following image are scans of that calendar with an owner's note.  This and the next image are a brief history of ownership. 
 A scan of the initial contact with the third party used to inspect the XKE before my purchase from a Dentist in southern Virginia who had owner it for 18 years or so.  And a ball park appraisal from 'Southside British Cars' during this inspection period.  A scan of a spreadsheet I've kept on the Jag since my initial purchase.
 This and the following three pages are scans of the detailed inspection I had 'Southside British Cars' perform on the car. 
 And, one last glamor shot to wrap up this eBay ofering for my 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+d Coupe. I hope you've enjoyed the tour and that you found it informative. At the end of the day someone is going to be very pleased with their purchase.
Full disclosure is what I'm after here .... I want you to know what your buying. This 1973 Jaguar XKE 2+2 is not perfect in every way ... it's very close and as fine an example of the model that one could ever expect for a 41 year old vehicle. There are minor imperfections as one would well expect ... very minor indeed. Some very slight paint chips and a few minor scratches that can't possible be shown in photos like these. It's not new but it's very nice, indeed. If there is something I haven't covered please feel free to give a call at 410-310-3543 ... I'll be happy to help in any way I can.

Jaguar F-Pace SUV teased on YouTube [UPDATE]
Wed, Jun 24 2015UPDATE: Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America's VP of communications, reached out and explained that the Detroit section of the F-Pace video was recycled from the car's confirmation announcement at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, shown here. "There is 100 percent no subliminal message and Frankfurt is the debut location," Schorr told Autoblog. The story has been edited to reflect this information. With the Jaguar F-Pace slated to debut in less than 90 days, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the teasers are starting to ramp up. That means videos like this, featuring Jaguar design master Ian Callum, which give us short, sweet peeks at the British brand's very first crossover. The big teasers come in the form of Callum's drawings of the F-Pace, combined with short clips of its headlights and taillights as it zooms around the streets of downtown Detroit. That said, none of the images shown are so dramatically different from the C-X17 Concept, the vehicle that previewed the production model and makes an appearance here. We aren't really sure why the Motor City features in the teaser, considering the F-Pace is being unveiled in Germany, but one of the final sequences sees a set of taillights streak past Cobo Center, home of the annual Detroit Auto Show. It's a weird decision to be sure, and leaves us wondering just how much truth there is to reports of the Frankfurt debut. Why would Jag make such a decision if the D weren't going to play some role in the car's future? Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Jag's first F-Pace teaser. Is there any particular design detail we missed? What do you think of the potential Detroit connection? Head into Comments and let us know.
Audi, Jag, Kia and Tesla top Strategic Vision 2014 Total Quality Index
Sun, 06 Jul 2014A couple weeks ago, J.D. Power released its latest Initial Quality Study, which gave high marks to Porsche, Hyundai and General Motors, with the latter earning more individual IQS awards than any other manufacturer. Now, it's Strategic Vision's turn, and it's doling out its praise not to Porsche, but to Tesla, which wasn't even included in the JD Power IQS.
The Model S was named the best vehicle overall in total quality, while Porsche's corporate brother and endurance-racing rival, Audi, was named the best premium brand, alongside Jaguar. Strategic Vision cited the Q5 and the ancient Q7 for individual segment awards, as well as the A5, which was a mere point off the top of its segment. SV also handed out compliments for the Audi's interior work. The win for the German brand is a nice improvement over its IQS score, with which it landed above the industry average, but solidly mid-pack.
Jaguar was without a segment winner, although SV did say that the Indian-owned English brand had a number of vehicles very near the top of their segments. This is the second significant win for Jag in two weeks, after it finished second overall on the JD Power IQS a few weeks ago.
Jaguar F-Pace vs. Porsche Macan | Performance luxury crossover comparison
Mon, Jul 16 2018TRANSCRIPT: The luxury performance crossover. 10 years ago, the list of examples was only a few vehicles deep but today it seems like every luxury car company makes at least one of these. This specific example is a 2018 Jaguar F-Pace S and it happens to be Autoblog 's newest long-term test vehicle. And here's the thing: It's really great to drive. Welcome to the Jaguar F-Pace S. Under the hood we have a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that makes 380 horsepower and 332 pound feet of torque, which pulls the F-Pace from 0 to 60 in just 5.1 seconds. That's a pretty sizable upgrade from the base model's 247 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired to an eight speed automatic transmission that responds pretty quickly to the paddles when in sport mode. There are three driving modes to choose from: You have dynamic, normal and eco. Even though the F-Pace name sounds like the F-Type, aside from the powertrain, they really aren't related. It's named that because it's based on the rear-wheel-drive Jag XF, just like the E-Pace is on the XE and the J-Pace will end up being based off of the XJ. Even though the F-Pace is all-wheel drive compared to the rear-wheel XF, it is a rear-bias system, which means it belongs exactly where we are right now, on twisty, turny back roads. This is a Jaguar, which means it sounds good but it looks even better. In my opinion, this is the best looking SUV on the market today. The Caesium Blue is a new color in the U.S. for this model year and we opted to get the black package, which includes black side vents, a black grill and roof rails. This is a $70,000 luxury crossover and the materials, they're okay. The plastics, I don't know, they kind of feel cheap even with the luxury interior upgrade package. The 10-inch touch screen is pretty big, in a good way. And while the surround sound isn't the best that I've heard, it's perfectly serviceable, especially since all I want to hear is this engine. For $70,000, this is what you get: A beautiful SUV that performs incredibly on the road. But what if you want more? This Macan costs over $96,000, which is almost $30,000 more than the F-Pace S. If you wanted to, you could buy a base Cayenne and a base F-Pace for that kind of money. But with that price comes more power, thanks to this Macan Turbo's performance pack. 60 more horsepower and 90 more pound-feet of torque than the F-Pace S bringing the total to 440 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque.
