1971 Jaguar XKE (E-Type) Series II Roadster with parchment interior and regency red paintwork. Original engine, body, and 4-speed gear box, documented by Jaguar Heritage Certificate, are included with sale. Everything works. This car needs nothing. If you are looking for a project car, look elsewhere. Buy this car and drive it with confidence across town, or even across the country. This car has never seen snow. In fact, I do not even drive it on cloudy days. All the rest of the time, it is secured in my garage. When I was 16 years old in high school in Connecticut, a classmate friend told me that his father’s job was relocated to California. Initially the friend refused to relocate, since all of his friends and life memories were local. As a bribe, the dad bought my friend a new Jaguar XKE convertible to drive across country. Two things happened: (1) I never saw my friend again and was jealous about the car he just received, and (2) I knew that someday I would get a Jaguar XKE convertible just like my friend received. I purchased this car 3-years ago satisfying my 50-year desire to own a Jaguar XKE convertible. After a considerable search, I finally found this car with low mileage (18,300 at time of purchase) and an excellent unmolested body condition. Prior, the car was in storage for 30 years. I bought this car from the Canadian Restorer who replaced all the wear and fabric items (belts, hoses, battery, tires (Michelin), seats, visors, etc.). I have all the receipts which will be provided with the sale. This XKE now has 20,000 original miles. I drive it weekly, so final mileage might be slightly higher. I will provide the last two titles/registrations which document the mileage by motor vehicle departments. All steering and suspension items were replaced. Only two metal items were replaced following storage: (1) the bottom of the heater box which was replaced with a reproduction repair panel, and (2) the battery tray which was replaced with a stainless unit. The phenomenal body condition of this car is what you want when buying one of these beautiful cars. The glass on the car is all in excellent shape. The doors, trunk and bonnet line up nicely. They open and close with ease. This car has original chrome, glass, and drive chain. There is no body filler anywhere. Car is as straight as an arrow (see photos). The car has like new Michelin 185X15 tires with the new spare tire mounted on an identical Dayton wire wheel. This car was undercoated by Ziebart the day it arrived off the boat from the UK. There is no rust anywhere - PERIOD. The paint is a re-spray from about 10 years ago. The paint does have some minor blemishes, so please take time to look at the pictures carefully. I estimate it is an 8/10 concours, which is outstanding for its age. This car has original Freon-12 factory air conditioning. An extra container of Freon-12 and appropriate hoses/gauges are included in sale. There are 78 more pictures available on photo bucket.

Here is a summary of the restoration work to bring the car back to life, following storage. Interior: · Installed complete new interior and dash board cover · Installed new sun visor chrome · Replaced all instruments and switches · Installed all new weather stripping and window rubber and felt Fuel System: · Refurbished and cleaned the fuel tank, fuel pump, carburetors, fuel sump, fuel filter, and hoses Cooling System: · Installed new radiator (rebuilt unit - original not available), new radiator fan, new thermostat switch Engine Compartment: · Installed all new engine hoses, clamps, and belts. · Installed new engine weather stripping · Installed new Lucas battery Brakes: · Installed new brakes including calipers, discs, brake cylinder and servo, clutch master Suspension: · Installed all new suspension, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and steering rack. · Installed 5 new Michelin tires Engine Electrical: · Installed new plugs, capacitor, rotor, several relays Radio: · Installed proper fitting radio with side speakers, iPOD connector, speaker jack, and SD card slot (I will include an SD chip with all 1970s and 1980s music). · Installed new power antenna Trunk: · Installed new truck coverings Body: · Installed new side emblems Convertible Top: · This was new when the Canadian restorer bought the car three years ago (see photos) Documentation: · Sale includes all the receipts for the above work as well as users’ manual and service manual, lubrication chart, and factory wiring booklet · Included are prior titles and registrations Status: · This a totally restored car the drives perfectly - everything works · Engine and transmission operate like factory new · Cylinder compression is within 5 lbs of each other (all measure 160-165 psi) Numbers: The numbers on this 1971 Jaguar E-type Series II 4.2 Roadster, documented on its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, are as follows: · Chassis Number: P2R14242 (front frame rail) · Engine Number: 7R13502-9 (on block and engine head and flywheel) · Body number: 4R9027 (on rear under license plate) · Gearbox number: KE15902 (on top of gearbox) The under carriage is untouched and in perfect condition other the normal light grime of a car with 20,000 miles on it. There is zero, zero, zero corrosion anywhere. What you are buying is a totally restored car that drives perfectly and needs nothing. The engine and fully synchronized gear box could not operate better. I want to make the point that many XKE series II cars can be purchased for under $50,000 but I can assure you that you will be spending much more in getting them into the condition of this car. The NAPA Guide prices this car as follows: http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1971/Jaguar/XKE-II/2-Door-Roadster/Values
Since this is a private sale, your final price should be significantly lower that the dealer price. You will find very few cars in the incredible original body condition of this car. This car was produced within months of the end of the series II production (see photo of build plate). If you want your dream car and don't want to spend the time and money fixing her up then this is the one for you. If you love restoring these cars then it is not the car for you as you will have nothing to work on. I understand that it is difficult buying a car sight unseen (other than photos) so I hope that I have described her with credibility as to what to expect. You are encouraged to inspect in person at any time, or hire an inspection service if time and distance dictate. This is part of my private car collection. I want this car to go to someone that will love it as I have. This amazing car is sold as is but please take time to read my 100% feedback and bid with confidence.

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
2021 Jaguar F-Type is getting a major facelift
Fri, May 17 2019Having entered its seventh model year with only minor changes, it's no surprise that Jaguar is working on a more significant update of its F-Type sports car. Based on the spy photos of what is likely to be the 2021 Jaguar F-Type, it's getting a serious nose job. But interestingly, it also still appears to be closely related to the current model. Up front, the major change is in the headlight design. Instead of the vertical, swept-back units of the current car, the new one has low, horizontal lights. The lights are actually much more similar to Jaguar's more practical offerings such as the XE, XJ and F-Pace. The lights also have sharper angles that blend into cut lines and creases in the front end. The main grille doesn't look particularly different, but it will clearly be flanked by redesigned outboard grilles based on how well they're covered. The whole midsection seems to be carried over from the current model. This seems to kill the rumor that there would be a 2+2 F-Type. The tail end is pretty much the same, too, but the taillights lose the little round extensions inspired by the Jaguar E-Type. The wide-set tailpipes and big diffuser are like the V8-powered R model, so we expect that's what we're looking at. Since this F-Type looks to be mostly a styling overhaul, we expect most of the current powertrain lineup will transfer, too. That means a turbocharged four-cylinder for the entry-level models and a V8 for the top-rung cars. In the middle, though, the supercharged V6 may disappear in favor of Jaguar-Land Rover's new turbocharged inline-6. This seems plausible since Jaguar has already phased out the V6 on the XE, and the inline-6 is derived from the four-cylinder already in use, so it should fit relatively easily. Power should be right on par with the current car's 380-horsepower V6. In new Land Rovers, it makes between 355 and 396 horsepower depending on which version you get. We also assume all engines will still be coupled to an eight-speed automatic with no manual options in sight.
Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
