Carmen Red/black/black. 13k Miles On Xk's Unltd. Restoration on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
CONDITION
Start with a 95-point 1990 restoration to original specs, colors and trim by one of the oldest and most respected Jag shops in the U.S. Add five years of driving, sorting, detailing, maintaining and upgrading (with $30,000 of receipts) by a fanatic owner and T's Sunrise, Colorado's premier English car garage. And you have a turn-key classic car that is breathtaking in appearance and rock-solid in driving quality--no squeaks, no rattles. You can idle in traffic on a 100 degree day and never overheat. Everything works from the wipers and windscreen washer, to the tiny clock in the tachometer. Well, if you know English cars, the heater doesn't work all that well and the convertible hood is finicky and might leak a bit. Best to drive as the Queen intended--with the top down and the spirits up. This is not a Pebble Beach car but a state concours winner that is fast, reliable, totally sorted and worth the extra money up front that won't be spent later. FEATURES
RECOGNITION -2011 First Place Blue Ribbon winner (with 239 out of 240 points) at the state's most prestigious car show, the Colorado Cerebral Palsy Concours d'Elegance) -Featured in the Mile High Sports Magazine "Summer Fun" issue, June 2013 (issue included) -Featured in the Mile High Sports Magazine "Snow Angels" issue, December 2008 (issue and giant poster included) HISTORY -Build Date: April 23, 1965 - Coventry, England -Current custodian is the fourth known owner -Third owner, a Californian, directed the XK's Unlimited restoration from July 1989 to December 1990 before moving to Boulder, Colorado -Matching Numbers: VIN (1E 10973); Body (4E 2203); Engine (7E 3858 9--original 9:1 compression ratio, lowered to 8:1); Gearbox (EJ 2924) CURRENT OWNER The seller is a 66-year-old retired high school athletic administrator who is known locally for his modest garaged collection of classics that have either been a part of his real or fantasy life. In the last four years he has won 1st place awards in the Colorado CP Concours d'Elegance with four different cars: 1967 Porsche 911 (purchased new by his father), 1971 VW Superbeetle (purchased new in Colorado), 1978 BMW 320i (purchased new) and the Jag. His overriding philosophy of classic car ownership is that while all the cars must look as perfect as possible they must be driven on a regular basis. The smallest of mechanical or cosmetic issues must be immediately addressed and corrected. The only reason the owner is willing to part with this E-Type is that he as purchased a 1967 XKE and has no more garage space. MAINTENANCE -Lubricants: Red Line brake and transmission fluids; BMW antifreeze+distilled water; Castrol GTX 10-40 motor oil. -Brakes and radiators flushed biannually; engine oil changed annually with a zinc additive included; air cleaner serviced annually. -Tires rotated biannually. -Synthetic outboard 2-cycle oil added to gas in winter. -Concours-level detail performed every year, to include: Wash and wax removal; paint cleaning clay; 5 coats of wax.

All receipts available. FINAL PITCH If you love to drive and want to do it in the most beautiful car ever made, this is the car for you. If you believe that buying the best classic that you can afford (let the seller spend the money on the restoration and upgrades) is economical in the long run, you'll be happy with this Jag for years to come. |

90th Anniversary Edition signals end of Jaguar F-Pace in Europe
Fri, May 17 2024Jaguar is gradually paring down its global range of models as it prepares to start from scratch in a bid to move upmarket. After the XE and the F-Type, it's the F-Pace's turn to sign off in many countries. Launched in 2016, the company's first SUV — and one of its all-time best-selling models — will retire from the European market later in 2024 with a limited-edition model called 90th Anniversary Edition. No, the F-Pace isn't turning 90; the name is a reference to nine decades of Jaguar's internal-combustion engines. Based on the R-Dynamic version, the commemorative SUV gets an edition-specific exterior emblem on the hatch and not much else. It features the same blacked-out trim as the R-Dynamic, and Jaguar notes that buyers have several options to choose from including a panoramic roof and tinted windows. Inside, you'll find sport seats for the front passengers, contrast stitching, and aluminum trim. The S, SE and HSE trim levels can be ordered with the 90th Anniversary package, and the SUV is on sale now in several global markets. We won't get it in the United States, however. "We have not announced end of production or the final model year [for the F-Pace on the American market]. [Production of] the F-Pace will continue in our Solihull plant for the foreseeable future," a spokesperson for the British company told Autoblog via email. Now what? We'll need to be patient to find out what's next. Jaguar has announced plans to shift up a notch or two in the industry's pecking order to take on Bentley, among other brands; as it stands, it's positioned on about the same level as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This bold move will be accompanied by a shift toward an electric-only range of models. Earlier rumors have detailed three models: a sporty sedan aimed at the Porsche Taycan, a more luxury-focused sedan about as long as the now-retired Bentley Mulsanne, and a big SUV aimed at the Bentayga. If everything goes according to plan, the first of these three models will land in 2025 on a new, purpose-designed architecture. Until then, with the F-Pace nearly out of the picture the global Jaguar range will consist of the electric I-Pace, the E-Pace crossover and the XF sedan.

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
