A great example of the 1969 Series II XKE. I have owned this car since 2012, it has been garage kept and well
maintained. I have put about 10,000 miles on it since I purchased it nine years ago, it is great fun to drive and
has always been dependable.

Interior and special options- This particular example is a four speed
manual, a rare option for 2+2s, and sports special ordered factory chrome plated steel wheels (wire wheels were
standard) as well as a Phillips FM radio which still works. All instruments, lights, and gauges work as they should
with the exception of the clock. The upholstery and carpets are 100% original and are starting to show their age a
bit. while clean, the carpets are a bit worn. the driver's seat has some cracking but is still holding together
on the whole. the passenger's seat and rear seats have seen very little use, and as such are in great shape
with the exception of a small stain on the rear seat which was present when I purchased the car. The trunk area is
very clean with no issues to note, as is the dash, with no cracks or warping. The headliner is in astonishingly
good condition with no signs of delamination from the roof. Exterior- Earlier in this car's life it had been a
concourse queen,

The paint is older but is still looking very good with no sun
damage and minimal oxidation. there are odd chips here and there but nothing severe, most notable is the one on the
nose of the hood which happened recently, I wanted to get it repaired but my body shop of choice has a two year
waiting list for new projects, and I just couldn't wait that long to get the car sold. Unfortunately a few
months ago it suffered a full delamination of the driver's side rear tire, which caused numerous small chips on
the rear quarter, it isn't glaring but it will definitely need to be addressed at some point. There is
absolutely zero rust in this car. Mechanical- I have had very few mechanical issues with this car over the years.
It did just receive a new brake master cylinder, plugs, plug wires, and distributor cap last year and the clutch
slave cylinder was replaced a few years ago. There is no smoke on startup and no noticeable oil consumption. It has
been known to drip a little oil if it sits without running for a while, which is normal. The dual electric cooling
fans work as they should, and the carburetors have never been temperamental, which is a blessing. It does have a
factory R12 air conditioning system but it is in need of a charge and probably re-sealing, the blower fan works
fine. The tires are brand new with less than 200 miles on them

Jaguar Land Rover to cut workforce by 2,000 in push toward electric future

Thu, Feb 18 2021

Jaguar Land Rover said on Wednesday it would cut 2,000 jobs from its global salaried workforce, just days after announcing its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and e-models of its entire lineup will be launched by 2030. "The full review of the Jaguar Land Rover organization is already under way," the company said in an emailed statement. "We anticipate a net reduction of around 2,000 people from our global salaried workforce in the next financial year," it said. However, it added that the organizational review did not impact hourly paid, manufacturing employees. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said earlier that its Land Rover brand will launch six fully electric models over the next five years, with the first in 2024. Known for its iconic, high-performance E-Type model in the 1960s and 1970s, Jaguar faces the same challenges as many other carmakers as it transitions to electric vehicles while trying to retain the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model. Last month, Tata Motors said it was concerned by semiconductor shortages and Brexit-related supply disruptions as its luxury car sales recover, although the Indian automaker added these had not yet hit production. Tata Motors posted three straight quarters of losses as the COVID-19 crisis dented sales, exacerbating uncertainties over Britain's exit from the European Union, weak demand and rising costs, but had bounced back to clock a profit in its third quarter to the end of December. The 2,000 reduction in JLR's non-factory jobs was reported earlier on Wednesday by Sky News.

Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).

Jaguar XFR-S is motor-porn on a mountain road

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S might have only been good enough to take the runner-up spot in our Editor's Choice top five debuts at the LA Auto Show, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more exhilarating exhaust note. As proof of this, Jaguar released a video showing the XFR-S tearing up a windy, European mountain road in close to a minute of hardcore driving footage.
The big blue cat has the same great exhaust note of the XKR-S, and the driver puts all of the car's 550 horsepower to work demonstrating the handling - and drifting - abilities of the new XFR-S. If there's any disappointment to be had, it's the fact that you have to jump to the 30-second mark of the video for any of the action to start.
Scroll down to watch the video, and be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.
