WE ARE ASSISTING WITH THE SALE OF THIS 1970 JAGUAR XKE..............THAT STARTED LIFE AS A 2+2 COUPE WITH A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE CURRENT OWNER 15 YEARS AGO.
DURING THAT TIME HE HAS CONVERTED IT TO A STANDARD SHIFT TRANSMISSION ACCOMPANIED BY AN ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PARTS BEING ALL JAGUAR, INCLUDING AN E TYPE GEARBOX.
THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT USING ISKY CAMS OVER A FRESH VALVE JOB AND NEW PISTONS, RINGS, BEARINGS, OIL PUMP, ETC AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBURETORS WERE UPGRADE TO TRIPLE 2" SU'S. AND A SET OF FREE FLOW TUBULAR HEADERS WERE INSTALLED
THE REAR END AND REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED INCLUDING A GEAR CHANGE TO 2:88 WHICH MAKE THIS CAR A GREAT HIGHWAY CRUISER.
HE ALSO ADDED AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR HARDTOP.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS WAS DONE DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP BUT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED DURING THE SHORT SUMMER MONTHS HERE IN NEW ENGLAND IT HAS NOT ACCUMULATED THAT MANY MILES. LAST YEAR IT WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 400 MILES.
THE CAR RUNS REAL STRONG AND IS FAST COMPARED TO A STOCK 1970'S JAG AS A RESULT OF THE CAMS, CARBURETORS, ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL AND THE REAR END GEAR RATIO.
THE PAINT IS GOOD BUT THERE ARE SOME FLAWS WHICH WE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. THERE ARE NO FRONT BUMPERS AND THE REARS COULD USE A RE-PLATE. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE DECENT. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WORK. THERE IS NO CLOCK. THERE IS A TONNEAU COVER THAT CAN BE FITTED WHEN THE HARD TOP IS REMOVED BUT THERE IS NO CONVERTIBLE TOP OR TOP FRAME. THESE CAN BE HAD ON BAY IF SO DESIRED.
TWO YEARS AGO HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GEARBOX SO THAT WAS REMOVED AND REBUILT AND A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED.
IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE.
THIS MORPHED JAGUAR IS BEING OFFERED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST TO DO THE ABOVE MENTIONED WORK NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR.
YES IT IS A CONVERTED CAR AND YES IT NEEDS A BIT OF TLC BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND A RUNNING, DRIVING, DECENT LOOKING OPEN E TYPE FOR THIS LOW... LOW PRICE. WE HAVE SOLD CARS THAT NEEDED 10'S OF THOUSAND OF DOLLARS FOR MORE THAN WHAT HIS CAR IS BEING OFFERED FOR.
IT NEEDS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF $$ AND ATTENTION TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND YOU WILL STILL BE INTO IT FOR LESS THAN A BEAST THAT NEEDS RESTORATION
WE WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN CONTACT US BY PHONE DURING WORKING HOURS EASTERN STANDARD TIME AT 781 246 7444
YOU MAY ALSO VISIT OUR WEB SITE AT CUSTOM-TRANS.COM

Jaguar reveals upcoming XE's InControl infotainment system [w/video]
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Jaguar has been keeping busy lately, rolling out both the new Lightweight E-Type and F-Type Project 7 at Pebble Beach this past weekend. But the more important project for the British automaker is the upcoming new XE.
Coventry has been releasing a steady stream of information and teasers on its new 3 Series challenger, and has now revealed details of the new infotainment system that will debut in the XE. Called InControl, the system centers around an eight-inch touchscreen and integrates with smartphones (running both iOS and Android) through the InControl Remote and InControl Apps. The system will allow drivers to pre-set the climate control for each day of the week, lock and unlock the doors and start the engine remotely.
It'll also include an on-board wifi hotspot to connect multiple devices and a laser-based head-up display that you can scope out in the graphic above as well as the video and press release below in advance of the XE's upcoming debut in London on September 8.
542-HP Jaguar XJR to debut at New York Auto Show
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Jaguar has just announced that a higher-than-ever performance version of its XJ flagship will be coming to this year's New York Auto Show next week. Joining the company's R lineup is this XJR, which will boast a stonking 542 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Though details about the new XJ are pretty slim - you can read Jag's teaser of a press release - we are told that the car will ride on a "bespoke chassis" and that some aerodynamics work has been done, as well. The one sultry image we have of the car shows a set of trim-specific wheels, lower sills and unique badging on the front grille.
The new XJR would seem to slot above the current top-dog XJ, the XJ Supersport. With a bump up of 32 hp versus the Supersport, performance should get a meaningful shot in the arm, as well. As for pricing, we'll have to wait for the NYC show to be sure. But other Jaguar models show an increase of between 15- and 20-percent between the R model and the next one down; that would indicate a price tag in the $130k range for a standard wheelbase XJR is in order.
2016 Jaguar XE pounces on the Parisian port
Thu, 02 Oct 2014It's been about five years since Jaguar discontinued the misguided X-Type and exited the compact luxury sedan market, but today marks the British automaker's re-entry into the segment with the public debut of the all-new XE.
Pitted against the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the new Jaguar XE is based on an all-new aluminum architecture that will underpin many new felines to follow, and packs a new family of four-cylinder engines. That is, aside from the range-topping XE S pictured above, with the super-six borrowed from the F-Type.
Conservatively styled but elegant and uniquely Jaguar, the XE isn't set to arrive Stateside until 2016. So unless you're planning a trip overseas (with a stop at a Jaguar showroom on the itinerary), our gallery of live shots from the floor of the Paris Motor Show here at the Porte de Versailles may be the best look you'll be getting at Coventry's latest for the next couple of years.
