1969 Jaguar E-Type
Roadster 4.2
Meticulously restored without regard to expense
This is a great opportunity to purchase a stunning, professionally restored, example of one of the fastest
appreciating cars in the world today. E-Type jags have always been highly sought after. However; in the last
several years they have been one of the best investments in classic cars you could make. Still climbing in value
with every sale these are considered to be one of the most beautiful car designs ever built.
This completely original, numbers matching car received an extensive nut and bolt restoration from one of the
finest shops in the mid-west about 10 years ago at a cost of over $60,000 (all documented), after the purchase
price of the car, and was completely restored. Today this restoration would cost in excess of $100,000. Every
mechanical component, every part and every panel was removed and restored to new or better. All the brightwork was
re-plated or polished as needed. All soft parts replaced. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and all painted
surfaces stripped and properly repainted. The end result was an award winning, better then new E-type. Since it
restoration it has been driven approx. 1,000 miles.
If you are considering a restoration project of your own, please reconsider as you can buy this car at a fraction
of the price. Imagine buying a Jaguar brand new in 1969 and then put it in a time capsule. Open the time capsule
today and this is what you have. You can spend ridiculous time and money trying to duplicate this finished vehicle
or you can buy this one, complete and pristine for a fraction of the cost.
After owning the car for the past ten years the owner decided to donate it to a local foundation to benefit cancer
research. I bought It from this foundation with the intent to keep it as part of my British car collection.
However, my circumstances have changed and now I must offer it to the next lucky collector. It runs and drives as
if it were new with that smooth silky Jaguar acceleration these cars are known for. It shifts wonderfully up and
down through all gears and stops very well with no pull or fade. The interior still looks and smells new. The paint
is still incredible with only a few very minor imperfections from the few miles it has traveled. I can find 3-4
small pinpoint type nicks. Likely stone chips. All the glass is like new. All the chrome is show quality.
The only items I know not to be original are seen in the photos. It has a beautifully installed, later type,
steering wheel slightly smaller than the original and much better for driver comfort, the beautiful wood shift knob
and upgraded stereo. Other than those items it appears to be all original as it was in 1969 when it left the
factory. And of course the tires.
It was recently appraised by a professional appraiser, Certified Appraisers Guild of America, and given a value
range between $85,000-95,000. In this appraisal the appraiser rated it as a number 2 condition car. It was likely
a number one car at the time the restoration was completed and has been driven enough to now be considered a number
two. The appraisal and all receipts from the restoration are included in the sale.
The previous owner, who had it restored, was too tall for the car. He knew he would never drive it in anything but
perfect weather. For this reason he had it restored without the soft top. E-types are not the most comfortable cars
for drivers over 6;3". The top literally gets in the way. He was too tall to drive it with the top up and when it
is down it was impossible to put the seat all the way back to make room for his long legs. To remedy this he had
the bulkhead behind the seats restored to appear as though there was never a soft top on the car (see photos). He
never intended to have it out in anything but perfect weather so this suited him better than fighting with the top.
Like many people, he believed this car looked best without the top up or down. It is a beautiful car without the
top and the finish around the rear bulkhead looks perfectly natural. Currently there is no soft top offered with
this car.
I have tried to include as many high resolution photos as possible. Please look these over carefully as they are an
important part of the description of this car. If you are lucky enough to live close to central Ohio please take
the time to come inspect it in person. It is well worth the trip.

Jaguar's V8-powered F-Pace SVR gets quicker and meaner-looking for 2021
Wed, Dec 2 2020Jaguar is making several visual and mechanical changes to the F-Pace SVR for the 2021 model year. The modifications turn the SUV into a quicker, meaner-looking cat with an appetite for all things Cayenne-flavored. Power for the SVR still comes from a supercharged, 5.0-liter V8 rated at 550 horsepower, but its torque output increases from 502 to 514. Although that's not a drastic improvement, it's enough to lower the SUV's zero-to-60-mph time to 3.8 seconds (three-tenths of a second quicker than before), and to raise its top speed from 176 to 178 mph. Jaguar also gave the F-Pace the XE Project 8's torque converter, and a Dynamic Launch function that relies on driveline inertia to ensure the power flow to the wheels isn't interrupted when the transmission shifts. Revised suspension components and a retuned steering system complement the driveline tweaks. Engineers also developed a recalibrated braking system with an electric booster that improves stopping performance. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission linked to shift paddles continue to come standard. Stylists made subtle visual changes that add up to give the F-Pace a cleaner, sharper design while reducing drag by 35%. Up front, the hood now stretches all the way to the edge of the grille, the headlights gain two individual strips of LED accents, and the trim around the air dams on the lower part of the bumper has been reshaped. Out back, the lights ditch the hemisphere-shaped insert -- a nod to the F-Type -- for a completely horizontal design. The nip-and-tuck is aligned with the one Jaguar performed on the non-SVR variant of the F-Pace. In 2020 more than ever, technology is the yardstick used to measure luxury cars, so Jaguar invested a significant amount of time and money into making the SVR smarter and more connected. It added a 12.3-inch high-definition touchscreen for the Pivi Pro infotainment system, the ability to receive over-the-air software updates, a wireless device charger, and active road noise cancellation technology, among other features. As the flagship of the F-Pace family, the SVR needs to look and feel suitably posh inside, and our time behind the wheel of the outgoing model suggests that wasn't always the case. Jaguar tells us it addressed this shortcoming. The 2021 SVR's interior gets a split-rim steering wheel, a redesigned center console with more storage space and a shorter gear selector, plus a new-look climate control panel.
Jaguar Land Rover exploring 3D HUD and infotainment projections
Wed, Aug 21 2019With its most recent technology research, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is exploring the use of 3D projections for a world before and/or after autonomous vehicles come to fruition. In collaboration with the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge, JLR has developed concepts for a 3D head-up display that shows information on the road ahead and a system that projects personalized 3D infotainment for vehicle passengers. As of right now, hundreds of production vehicles are equipped with two-dimensional head-up displays, some color, others black and white. Using various techniques and different technologies, manufacturers display information in a flat image in front of a driver. Some might find it distracting or unhelpful to have this in the driver's line of sight, and JLR might have found a solution. Rather than wedge the information in between the person and the view ahead, a 3D system that uses augmented reality could display the info onto the road in front of the driver. JLR thinks the system could project navigation directions, safety alerts such as lane departure, hazard detection or other bits typically found in a car's infotainment or instrument cluster. Some might find this to be even more distracting that 2D head-up displays, but to each his or her own. While the 3D head-up display is something that could be used right now, if it were released and passed legal, part two of JLR's 3D technology research is imagined for a life where truly autonomous vehicles are skating across the country. Using head- and eye-tracking technology, the system could lock into the position of numerous people in a vehicle and give each of them a personalized 3D projection "screen." This could be used to track a trip, look up points of interest, or even watch movies. JLR points out this could be used during ride-sharing without bothering others in the vehicle. The work with the Center for Advanced Photonics and Electronics at Cambridge is still in development for now, but it's only a matter of time before 3D tech makes it into cars in some degree.
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.
