Here is the story on this car.

Dad bought in 1968 and we have had it ever since.

 

The car was originally a coupe but we wanted a roadster.

 

In 2000 I bought a S1 roadster body from Classic Jaguar in Austin and converted the car.

 

I had the floors and rockers replaced just because I wanted to undercoat in the rockers, jags are notorious for rust. (Martin Robey panels from (Terry's Jaguar)

 

The color is Phoenix red.

 

This has the Gold Head 3.8 engine and Moss 4-Speed

 

A few of the things I had done during the rebuild.

 

Willwood brakes

Switch from Positive to Negative ground. Delco alternator

Pertronix ignition

Aluminum racing radiator (Classic Jaguar)

Spin on oil filter

Dayton Stainless 6" wheels

New exhaust system (Terry's Jaguar)

New taillamps (British Auto)

New shocks

New Top

New bushings in steering column

 

I have pictures and receipts of the rebuild.

 

In 2008, I had Sports and classic restoration in Norman Oklahoma do a top end rebuild of the engine due to a leak in the water jacket. 

We replaced with a correct series 1 head. Installed hardened valves. I have the original head

 

Basically I got rid of a lot of  things that are not good in a series 1 E-Type.

 

Since rebuild the car has gone about 1.000 miles. I kept the odometer mileage from the original car and it sits it 87,400

 

Look at the pictures, no car is perfect, but if you are looking for a driver that causes people to stop and stare and you don't want to spend north of $100K this could be the car for you.

 

Engine # R9553-9

Car #887964

 

So why I am selling an apprieciating asset, I don't drive it is the biggest reason, kids are in every sport known and I don't have the time.

 

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS about the car, send me an e-mail through ebay with your name and number and I will call you back.

 

Thanks for Looking. Take Care

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 looks like an XE, but is almost completely new

Thu, Sep 21 2017

Jaguar's XE SV Project 8 is a thoroughly astonishing sports sedan. With a 592-horsepower V8, it's the most powerful Jaguar road car ever produced. And it's amazing to think that Jaguar's most powerful car is a version of its entry-level sedan. Or at least it looks that way. In reality, the majority of the body is completely unique to the Project 8. A Jaguar representative told us that only the roof and door skins are shared with the standard XE. The other 70 percent of the exterior is completely unique to the car. These changed body panels include wider fenders of course, and many of the pieces are made from carbon fiber rather than metal, but there are also some more unusual tweaks. For instance, the headlights actually had to be moved to a different position to make space for the Project 8's massive wheels and tires. The tires, for reference, are 265-mm wide at the front, and the rears are 305-mm wide. There were also some changes for style. The air vents at the front that consist of many small holes in the bumper are a tribute to Jaguars of the past. The hexagonal shape of the holes apes that of the vintage Jaguar logo, which featured the word Jaguar in an elongated hexagon. All in all, there's an impressive amount of new engineering that went into creating the Project 8. The results are, in a word, stunning. Related Video:
