BEAUTIFUL DARK SILVER BLUE JAGUAR XKE CONVERTIBLE


Click on the top left large picture for a slide show. California car originally.   "j68" plate riveted  next to number plate   (only California did this when they were new) Beautiful darker opalescent silver blue  8 of 10. Dark blue vinyl top with clear rear window   8 of 10. Bumpers rechromed   9 of 10. New rubber moulding around bumpers. Wheels  8+ of 10. Tires have like new tread. Series 1 spinners on the wheels. Car runs VERY strong.    Flame thrower coil.   Electronic ignition. Oil and filter just changed.  New plugs. Compression  is 155  165  163  155 160  165.   Excellent compression. The clutch, synchros in the transmission, and brakes are all excellent. Very nice dark blue leather seats,  new foam seat  bottoms,  new dark blue door panels, new door panel chrome,  new dark blue front carpets, new trunk boards and new trunk cardboard sides, rear, and hardura mat in trunk. Front end is tight with no bouncing or squeaks. 68 was the first year of the "k" gearbox instead of the "j" gearbox on series 1s.   j and k are the first letters of the gearbox number. It shifts Noticeably smoother than the series 1s and is a real pleasure to drive. Of course it has dual fans on the radiator. Never gets even to center of temp guage. Series 1 looking seats without headrests that Recline and are more comfortable than series 1s. 68s have the same exact bonnet as late 67s, so glass headlight covers can be retrofitted. I have had this done on a late 67.  It costs about $600 in parts per side and $600 labor per side.  There is no painting involved. Engine was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago and it is Strong. This car has FANTASTIC oil pressure--60 lbs oil pressure at road speed with the car warmed up! This car runs as fast with 2 carbs as 3 carb cars. I drove it last night with the top down and it put a big smile on my face as I accelerated through the gears and negotiated the curves. It is a true joy to drive!

Jaguar F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride

Sat, Jun 29 2019

BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.

2014 Jaguar XFR-S super sedan is 550-HP worth of cool

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S was considered last year, teased last week and now has been totally let loose. The most powerful sedan the company has ever made and the newest addition to its line of R-S performance cars - following the XKR-S - and we'll be getting even fewer of them than we thought. 200 had been the rumored allotment for the US, but the official word now is that we'll see just 100.
Each XFR-S will use the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that powers the XKR-S, meaning a 40-horsepower and 41-pound-foot bump over the XFR for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft in total. Shifting through the adaptive, eight-speed ZF transmission gets it from standstill to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, but for all that, it gets the same gas mileage as the XFR, aided by its stop/start system, and so doesn't get hit with a gas guzzler tax.
Other XKR-S bits have made the jump, including an upgraded suspension front and rear, the near-straight pipes for the cracking exhaust note we drank up like ambrosia and twenty-inch, six-spoke lightweight wheels that are an inch wider than on the XFR. Lateral stiffness is up 30 percent, the electronic systems have been recalibrated to handle the extra oomph, throttle response has been sharpened and can be made even sharper by going into Dynamic Mode.

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee season 2 opens with Sarah Silverman and Jag E-Type

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

Season Two of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee kicked this week in style. How much more style is there to be had than in a 1969 Jaguar XKE, after all? This time around, Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman spend some time driving around in the "slinky, sexy" Jag, talking comedy and then grabbing breakfast.
In addition to the kickoff of the show's second season, this episode also represents the start of a 24-episode sponsorship with Acura. The original deal promised short ads at the beginning and end of each episode, but this time around, Seinfeld "stumbles upon" a 2014 Acura RLX, which is obviously - and admittedly - the work of product integration. Scroll down to watch Seinfeld and Silverman exchange banter with the Jag's beauty as a happy backdrop.
