For Sale is my 1972 Jaguar XKE, I bought this car at an auction in 2000. It's time to sell it. The car had a restoration prior to my buying it, unfortunately the seats were recovered in vinyl, not leather as would have been proper. Otherwise the seats are in very good condition, as is the interior with the exception of some cosmetic flaws to be expected in a 41 year old car and an older restoration. The AC is cooling a little and I have never had the system charged, but I am including 2 cans of R12 with the car. The steering wheel has some black tape on it, but I am including another proper steering wheel with the car in very good condition. The paint has numerous small flaws but you can see from the picture the car still shines and shows well. The body is very straight with one little nickle sized dimple on the hood that I tried to photograph but gave up what with the silver paint couldn't really capture it. There is an area on the drivers side rear rocker that appears to be a bad repair or repair gone bad that came with the car and hasn't got any worse. All in all the car has a very straight body. The floorboards are rust free as is the trunk bottom. The underside of the car shows some surface rust on some of the components. As you can see from the pictures the steering rack boots need to be replaced.

Now for the fun stuff. All the glass is very good as is the rubber around it. This is a beautiful color for this car, it has factory AC, and the desirable 4 speed. I have not really driven this car much but the motor and transmission are strong. The car runs out very well. I had a problem with the plugs fouling, cleaned them and the motor runs out very strong right now. I bought 12 new NGK plugs which I have not put in and they will go with the car unless I have any more fouling problems. The carbs probably need some attention. As do the brakes only because I have never serviced them and the brake light is on. They work fine and if all the brake fluid were renewed I think the brake light would go out. The cooling system does not leak but I am sure could use flushing. This is why I am selling the car, I have not been able to keep up with the maintenance and love the car needs. Last time I showed the car at a local British Car Club it placed 3rd out of 8 E types, all of which were worth more money than mine.

So if you want a very nice driver that the average Joe thinks is a very expensive car this would be an excellent car, or if you want a Concours car but can't afford one, this car would be an excellent starting point. They say if you want to restore a car buy the best one you can find. I want to make sure this car sells so that I only do this once so the reserve on the car will be well below what Haggerty values the car. The only other thing I can think of is the fuel pump was changed by a local shop when I took the car in a year ago with starting issues, and I ended up taking out the fuel pump they put in and put a carter inline fuel pump in myself, but I still have the original double ended pump that is original to the car. Not sure there is any thing wrong with it. Also the dip switch on the headlights has gone bad and needs renewed. I tried turning on the radio the other day and the electric antennae worked but the factory AM FM radio wasn't working. Also the odometer reads 76,000 but the speedometer has not worked since I have owned the car. Also the drivers side door handle button is not wanting to work but I will try to repair before the car is delivered.

The chrome wire wheels are the original knockoff wheels that came with the car. They polish up very nicely but there is some minor rust damage that is very hard to see when the wheels are polished.

Prince Harry drove Meghan Markle to their Royal Wedding reception in this electric Jaguar

Sat, May 19 2018

Well over a billion people all over the world tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this morning, but now that it's all said and done, it's time to direct our attention to the car that the newly crowned Duke and Duchess of Sussex drove to their reception. The Jaguar E-Type Zero first debuted in September of 2017, but it's getting a whole heck of a lot more press today than it did then. Welcome to the Royal Family, Jag. Jaguar left as much of the original 1968 Series 1.5 E-Type in tact as possible while replacing the original inline-six engine with an electric motor and battery pack. Enough power is sent to the rear wheels to push this feline from 0-62 in just 5.5 seconds. That means it's quicker now than it was when new and chugging on gasoline. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The E-Type Zero's range of 170 miles is way more than enough to whisk the happy couple away from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate, where Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, is hosting their wedding reception. But if it were to run out of juice, its 40kWh battery can be recharged in under 7 hours. Want one of your own? The Daily Mail says it'll cost GBP350,000 (that's over $470,000 here in the States). Just don't expect a customized license plate to match the date of your wedding. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Jaguar working on 600-hp F-Type SVR

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Thinking about buying a new Jaguar F-Type? You've got a number of supercharged engine options to choose from... and soon you'll have one more. According to Motor Trend, Jaguar and its Special Vehicle Operations unit are working on a new SVR version of the F-Type, and it's tipped to pack 600 or more horsepower. That's more than anything Jaguar (or for that matter Land Rover) has offered for public consumption to date, but follows a delineated progression of output. As it is, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 offered at launch in the F-Type convertible was already churning out 500 metric horsepower. Then came the F-Type R coupe that bumped output up to 550, followed by the limited-edition Project 7 roadster with 575. Topping 600 would only follow naturally, then, but would give the F-Type a broad range of outputs, starting at 335 hp and nearly doubling once it hits the top. It would also handsomely eclipse the Mercedes-AMG GT S (503 hp) and Porsche 911 Turbo S (552 hp), rival the Aston Martin Vantage GT12 (592 hp), and give even the new Audi R8 V10 Plus (610 hp) a run for its money. The bigger question is what form the SVR model will take, and with what other equipment. Coupe or convertible, rear-drive or all-wheel drive, automatic or manual... it's too early to say at this point. But we can probably expect much of the equipment from Project 7 – active diff, carbon-ceramic brakes... the works Â– to reappear in the SVR as well.
