Carmen Red/black/black. 13k Miles On Xk's Unltd. Restoration on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
CONDITION
Start with a 95-point 1990 restoration to original specs, colors and trim by one of the oldest and most respected Jag shops in the U.S. Add five years of driving, sorting, detailing, maintaining and upgrading (with $30,000 of receipts) by a fanatic owner and T's Sunrise, Colorado's premier English car garage. And you have a turn-key classic car that is breathtaking in appearance and rock-solid in driving quality--no squeaks, no rattles. You can idle in traffic on a 100 degree day and never overheat. Everything works from the wipers and windscreen washer, to the tiny clock in the tachometer. Well, if you know English cars, the heater doesn't work all that well and the convertible hood is finicky and might leak a bit. Best to drive as the Queen intended--with the top down and the spirits up. This is not a Pebble Beach car but a state concours winner that is fast, reliable, totally sorted and worth the extra money up front that won't be spent later. FEATURES

In the last four years he has won 1st place awards in the Colorado CP Concours d'Elegance with four different cars: 1967 Porsche 911 (purchased new by his father), 1971 VW Superbeetle (purchased new in Colorado), 1978 BMW 320i (purchased new) and the Jag. His overriding philosophy of classic car ownership is that while all the cars must look as perfect as possible they must be driven on a regular basis. The smallest of mechanical or cosmetic issues must be immediately addressed and corrected. The only reason the owner is willing to part with this E-Type is that he as purchased a 1967 XKE and has no more garage space.

Jaguar C-X17 rides high into Frankfurt
Tue, 10 Sep 2013After enviously watching its competitors rake in piles of crossover-shaped dollars for years, Jaguar is poised to get into the game with a production model based on this C-X17 concept. While the British brand hasn't officially confirmed it will sell a utility vehicle - indeed, brand fans and industry watchers have wondered whether the Leaping Cat even need to get into the game considering its corporate cousins at Land Rover - we would be dumbfounded if it didn't happen in short order.
We've always been concerned that Jaguar's styling language wouldn't translate well to a high-riding shape, but here at its Frankfurt Motor Show debut, the C-X17 comes off as quite handsome (if predictable) in the metal. The same couldn't always be said of Jag's styling DNA, but newer models beginning with the XF and the XJ have introduced design elements like a larger, more vertical grille that suit the C-X17's form factor exceedingly well. Even the rear end successfully borrows its taillamp design from the glorious new F-Type Roadster.
Underneath the concept's two-box shape is a new aluminum unibody that Jag says it is poised to employ on its next-generation models, including the long-expected midsize sedan coming to North America in 2016. Jaguar has long been a leader in aluminum chassis development even as it has struggled to take weight out of some of its vehicles (the F-Type, for instance, isn't exactly lightweight). Thus far, Jaguar isn't talking powertrains other than to say it will employ a new generation of gas and diesel engines.
Jaguar could yet offer more hardcore F-Type R-S
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Jaguar pulled a fast one on us all when it unexpectedly shoehorned all 550 horsepower of the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XKR-S into the new F-Type Coupe to supersede the existing V8 S model with the F-Type R. But that's just the beginning, according to the latest intel coming from the UK.
According to Autocar, in speaking to Jaguar design director Ian Callum during the coupe's unveiling at the LA Auto Show, the British automaker could yet offer R-S and R-S GT versions of the F-Type. Just what mechanical changes those would bring when the F-Type R already packs the company's top engine remains to be seen, but given that the same engine also powers the flagship XJR performance saloon, we could envision Jaguar developing an even more powerful version for R-S versions of the little coupe and big sedan.
The GT version, meanwhile, would likely offer more extreme aero and a lighter form for the truly performance-obsessed. Considering that the new top-of-the-line F-Type is already pushing the hundred-grand mark, you can bet any R-S and R-S GT version would approach double the base F-Type's $65k sticker price.
Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
