1967 Jaguar 4.2litre e-type Series 1 fixed head coupe - the very best of
the e-types. Over the years, his wonderful car has been restored to very
high mechanical and cosmetic standards. But she remains a real car having been driven 3,200miles over the past 6 years by me,
the current owner. She spent most of her corrosion free life in the Denver,
Colorado region but since 2008 resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where she
has shared space in a heated garage with my xk140. Finished in the original opalescent maroon with burgundy interior,
the engine, gearbox, chassis and body numbers all match as attested by the Jaguar
Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. The car runs just how you would hope. Oil pressure is always
between 40 and 60psi. Water temperature never gets too high before electric fan
cuts in. All toggle switches and controls work properly as do all the
instruments (except of course the clock). She rides firm, free from rattles and
pulls strong with no smoke. And the sound………… priceless. When I first acquired her, most of the restoration work had
been done. However, some fine tuning
was called for as detailed in the following list. ·
Differential and rear gearbox seals were replaced.
·
A high torque starter was installed. ·
Rack and pinion and the steering column were
overhauled ·
Cylinder head was machined and new valves and
valve guides installed. ·
Aluminum valve covers and SU carbs were polished
and head repainted in correct pumpkin color. ·
Stainless steel exhaust system, including new mufflers
and silencers were installed. ·
The exhaust manifold was ceramic coated. ·
The front and rear brakes were overhauled with
new brake calipers and pads. The brake master cylinder and brake booster were
also replaced. The five wheels and tires, and the four spinners, are like new. ·
Among the lesser items; a new battery tie down
and a new driver’s side window winding mechanism were installed. The alternator
bearings were replaced. Electronic ignition (Petronix) was installed. A new tie
rod and ball joint boots were installed as were new motor and steering rack
mounts. A new high-amp battery was installed. Weatherstripping and rubber seals
were replaced as required. Sound deadening material was installed on the spare
wheel well floor. The cubbie box and the interior arm rests were refinished. ·
The carpeting appears to be original. However
new, correctly designed and fabricated driver and passenger floor mats, with
under-padding, were added. ·
The leather seats show the expected wear of 50 year
old Connelly hides. Recently, the patina
degraded to a small tear on the driver side bolster. This has been repaired and
in the process, the foam squab underlying the leather was rebuilt. ·
A couple of years ago, the original steering
wheel was replaced by a new period-correct MotoLita wheel. The original, still
in great shape, will come with the car. ·
Last year, the entire bonnet was removed to fix
a ding the size of a dime (It happens when you accidentally drop a tool onto
the bonnet). It was taken down to bare metal, repainted and put back on the
car. It is flawless and a perfect match to the rest of the body. Most of the above work has been done professionally by
the best classic car restoration shops in Northern Alberta. Some of the less
complicated stuff I did myself. Back in 2010, the car was professionally photographed and a coffee table style book produced. Pictures from that book cannot be shown here as they re copyrighted. The book will come with the car as will a collection of publications about the marque. I have enjoyed this magnificent sports car for six years and
now it’s some else’ turn. (One of my fondest memories of her was a road trip
from Edmonton, Alberta, through the Rockies and coastal range mountains to
Victoria, British Columbia – and back. 1,650 miles without a hitch). As nice as this car is, she’s not perfect. Like all these
big cats, she marks her territory with dribbles of oil. There at least one
parking lot ding (too small to photograph) and there is a couple of small blisters
under the paint near the top of one of the rear wheel openings (see photo). The brakes,
though effective, are not up to modern standards. The front suspension
wishbones should probably be bead blasted to get them looking new. The
windshield washers have never worked. A small area of the vinyl covering on the
instrument panel has come unglued(see photo) and
should be fixed. There is the tiniest of cracks in the left tail light lens
(see photo).There are probably a few other non-concourse items that I haven’t
identified but as far as I can tell, that’s it for warts. She comes with a complete set of period British (non-Jaguar)
tools in a new pouch. Thor’s hammer and a jack are not included. I didn't have enough space to include them here but I can send photos of the undercarriage showing she is totally free of rust. The car does come with the custom made car cover that is
shown in one of the photos. I would encourage potential bidders to personally inspect
the car or have someone do it on your behalf. This auction is with no reserve.
The starting bid is well below the guidelines for this vehicle. I will be
pleased to assist the buyer to make arrangements for shipping anywhere in the
World though the cost of transportation will be borne by the buyer. If you have
any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer as promptly as I am
able. Happy bidding. |

2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake Review | Who needs a crossover with a wagon this sexy?
Fri, Nov 3 2017PORTO, Portugal — SUV and truck mania is real — just ask the 63 percent of American buyers who opted for the high-riding vehicles last year. But there has been a recent groundswell of alternative options in the burgeoning wagon segment. Sure, there are lower-end wagons such as the tried-and-true Subaru Outback ($25,895) and the new-kid-on-the-block Volkswagen Golf SportWagen ($21,580). But the 2018 Jaguar XF S Sportbrake competes more closely with the stalwart Mercedes-Benz E400 ($64,045) and the stylish Volvo V90 Cross Country ($52,300). This begs the nagging question: Could wagons become a serious thing in the States? We spent a day bombing through Portuguese backroads to find out how the Sportbrake fares among its niche competitive set. The 2018 Sportbrake is a wagonized version of the second-gen XF sedan that arrived in 2016. While the first-gen model only offered a wagon variant for the European market, the new Sportbrake is a global vehicle that brings a more streamlined, aluminum-intensive architecture to the table and finally gives American wagon lovers the Jag they've been craving. First off, the essential reason we're here: the cargo area. Activate the power tailgate (which uses a one-piece composite tailgate, just like the F-Pace), and the opening reveals a flat surface on all sides with 31.7 cubic feet of storage. Fold the rear seats down, and volume expands to a considerable 69.7 — an increase of 12.6 and 38.4 cubic feet, respectively. For comparison, the Volvo V90 Cross Country offers 19.8/53.9 cubic feet, and the Mercedes-Benz E400 Wagon has 35.0/64.0 cubic feet. Folding the Sportbrake's rear seats down produces a nice, flat expanse for cargo, with no obtrusive humps or bumps on the side. Standard rear air suspension keeps things level when loaded up. Onward to the front seats, where the cabin brings the XF's familiar design with the dashboard rimmed in a curved ribbon of wood veneer — a pleasant touch that offsets the otherwise blase textured aluminum bits on the dash and shifter surround. Of course, there's the love-it-or-leave-it cylindrical shifter that rises from the center console, a confounding bit of design that leaves most PRNDL traditionalists cold. So, too, does the plastic starter button on the dash, one of the few unsatisfying puzzle pieces in the otherwise agreeably finished interior. But fire up the engine, and it's easy to forget these quibbles.
Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper
Tue, 23 Jul 2013This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
US-spec 2017 Jaguar XE sport sedan revealed
Wed, Nov 18 2015The Jaguar XE touched down in certain international markets earlier this year, but now the US gets its first crack at the 2017 model, already updated after just a few months on sale. Our various drives of the entry-level cat have made us purr, and the price/engine combos aren't bad either: $34,900 for the XE 25t and its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine with 240 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque, $36,400 for the XE 20d and its 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder with 180 hp and 311 lb-ft, and $41,700 for the XE 35t and its 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. All those prices are before the $995 destination charge. That Ingenium diesel will be the first oil-powered Jaguar on our shores, and will be one of the two models available with the company's torque-on-demand all-wheel drive, along with the 340-hp supercharged V6. Both AWD models are pure rear-wheel drive until power is required up front, at which time it can be shunted forward in 165 milliseconds. All trims get a ZF eight-speed automatic, but the supercharged 35t gets the sturdier 8HP70 transmission, while the rest get the more compact 8HP45 transmission. Cabin options will include an InControl Touch infotainment system with an eight-inch screen or an InControl Touch Pro system with a 10.2-inch screen and Apple Watch connectivity. Standard audio comes from a 380-watt system with 11 speakers, the upgrade runs to 825 watts and adds six more speakers. The sheet of standard and optional driver aids lists All-Surface Progress Control, a low-speed cruise control on top of adaptive cruise control, a laser heads-up display, Traffic Sign Recognition and an adaptive speed limiter that uses traffic sign information. The even newer XE gets here next spring, you can read more about it in the meantime in the press release below. 2017 JAGUAR XE DEBUTS IN LOS ANGELES WITH AWD AND APPLE WATCH CONNECTIVITY - Award-winning Jaguar XE sports sedan to arrive in U.S.
