Excellent 1970 Jaguar E-Type convertible. This car starts, runs and goes down the road as a Jaguar XKE should. Engine runs great. Has the syncros in transmission replaces 1000 miles ago. Has car completely gone over and tuned by a Jaguar specialist 500 miles ago. Brakes well with no pull. The interior has all been redone with leather replacement interior. Newer vinyl top. Paint is very good with the exception of a couple bubbles. One is on the bonnet and is the size of a quarter. I have been monitoring it for 4 years and it hasn't gotten any larger. There is another on the drivers side rocker that can't be seen unless it is pointed out. This one is also about the size of a quarter. Neither are through the paint and there is no rust showing anywhere. If I was keeping the car I would repair this Spring. We are talking paint touch up here not a major paint job. Car wins trophies as is. The chrome wire wheels are excellent and the tires have about 80 % left. The spare is also chrome wire wheel. It has the tool kit including the original wheel removal tools. I have a Ohio title and a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate. The speedometer needle jumps back and forth while going down the road. It was fine prior to the transmission work I had done. It has been suggested that there may be a kink in the speedometer cable that is catching as it spins in the casing. The cable and the gear 90 degree connector at the transmission are both new. I hate to sell but I am running out of room and I need to thin out. This is your opportunity to own a great E-type that is ready to drive and show right now or can be taken to a number 1 car quite easily. My reserve is set lower than the Haggerty valuation is for this car and lower than these cars are being bid on this site. Please e-mail any questions. Sorry no additional pictures until May. The car is in storage parked behind 3 other cars. If the cars sells I will dig the car out immediately. It the auction comes close to my reserve I may remove the reserve so car will sell. Thanks for looking

Jaguar planning two bodystyles for next XJ

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

As we alluded to in today's F-Type first drive, Jaguar hasn't been selling its wares in China for very long, and as a result, buyers there usually don't have the same appreciation for the brand's history. So you might reasonably think that the company's recent radical styling shift (kicked off by the 2008 XF) wouldn't be as jarring to the nation's buying populace since they really didn't have the automaker's more traditionally styled models from years past to compare them against.
Yet while Jaguar and its sister marque, Land Rover, continue to pick up steam in China's developing market, that apparently isn't necessarily the case. Local buyers there tend to have more conservative tastes when it comes to styling, preferring more upright dimensions, big back seats and larger quantities of traditional luxury materials (think: chrome and wood) than other markets currently find desirable. Thus, the very bold current-generation XJ sedan may be leaving some sales on the table.
According to Edmunds, Jag doesn't want to risk that, and as such, it is preparing two bodystyles for the next-generation XJ - one with the rakish coupe-like styling of the current model, and a more "old-school" three-box sedan designed to appeal to a wider swath of Chinese buyers.

Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots

Wed, 15 May 2013

With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
