1966 JAGUAR E-TYPE XKE 4.2 LITER SERIES ONE ROADSTER. PRIMROSE YELLOW WITH BLACK TRIM AND SOFT TOP. 4-SPEED. CHROME WIRE WHEELS. BLACK FACTORY HARDTOP. 19,690 ORIGINAL MILES. TWO OWNERS.

KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS offers for sale, here on Ebay, a 1966 Jaguar E-type Roadster with a believed 19,690 original miles. This car is a stunning discovery just out of a 35-year hibernation. It was purchased last year from the second owner, who purchased the car in April of 1969. It appears to have been delivered new in Oregon. The second owner purchased it in California needing some front end/bonnet repair when it was only three years old. It was subsequently repaired with a new factory bonnet at that time and repainted once again in the original Primrose color. The carpets in the interior were replaced. Over the next several years, it was driven very little. Because of family commitments, it was put into permanent indoor storage in the late 1970's, then later moved to outdoor storage, and resided there until recently (the last photo shows it's discovered resting place). The last registration sticker on the California blue/yellow license plates is from 1979. A California car for just about all of it's life...

This correct and full matching numbers car is a well-preserved and original example needing only light restoration. The body exhibits perfect panel fit and gapping all the way around. The body is extremely straight and all of the panels close well. All of the chromework is original and in very decent condition. The factory hardtop has been recently added and is partially restored with a newer headliner. The car still retains most of it's original interior trim and the original softtop. The engine turns, but no attempt has been made to start it. It has perfectly clean oil on the dipstick and full up to the mark. The car would need a recommissioning on it's fuel and braking systems to make it roadworthy. The radiator/cooling fans have been updated to 1968 specification.

Overall, this car presents a unique opportunity to purchase a very low-mileage, highly desirable E-type 4.2 Liter Series One Roadster. The new buyer can decide on which route to take on it's restoration. This car could be a good candidate for a light cosmetic restoration, or a perfect donor car for a ground-up, nut-and-bolt, Concours rebuild. In either case, this car probably would not require much in the way of mechanical work. This car is sold with a clear and current California title and a small collection of associated receipts, old registrations, and other paperwork history. It is located in Southern California and can be viewed by appointment. $85,000.

Jaguar XE SVR to challenge M3, C63 with supercharged V8 power

Tue, Oct 14 2014

Jaguar has a healthy powertrain range lined up for its new XE, including an array of four-cylinder engines and a supercharged 3.0-liter six that will, for now, serve as the range-topping offering in the XE S. But Car and Driver claims to have it on good authority that an even more powerful eight-cylinder version is in the works, as well. According to C/D, the XE's engine bay has been designed to accommodate the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter V8 engine, which in the larger XF is offered in several states of tune, including the XF Supercharged with 470 horsepower, the XFR with 510 hp and the flagship XFR-S with 550 hp. Just which version (or versions) would be offered in the XE remains to be seen, but even in its lowest-spec supercharged form, the 470-hp version would already be enough to challenge the 425-hp BMW M3 and the base 469-hp version of the new Mercedes-AMG C63. If Jaguar wants to take on the C63 S, however, it will need to shoehorn in one of the more powerful versions. In the end, Coventry's new Special Vehicle Operations division may opt to offer two versions, like it does with the XFR and XFR-S. Expect the top version, however much muscle it packs, to wear the British automaker's new SVR badge. It just may take a few years before it does so.

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.

Jaguar hints at what might become of XK after F-Type's arrival

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

Jaguar may move the company's XK further upmarket following the introduction of its forthcoming F-Type. The newcomer to the range easily shoulders the burden of carrying the Jaguar sportscar mantle, freeing up the XK to evolve in another direction. While speaking with Autocar, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said there's an opportunity to grow the grand tourer both in size and luxury.
Whether that means the vehicle will retain its two-plus-two seating configuration or swell to offer buyers even more space remains to be seen. Either way, the future will likely see the XK soften its claws moving forward. And that's no bad thing. Jaguar has a long history of building luxurious grand tourers more content to soak up miles of highway than bounce from apex to apex.
What else is in store for the brand? Callum seems to have kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to acknowledge ongoing rumors of a Jaguar crossover beyond saying the brand "had to take notice" of the popularity of the luxury SUV market.
