“The most beautiful car ever built”

-Enzo Ferrari


One of the world’s most beautiful and elegant cars, the classic 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe.  


Jay Leno’s comments near the end of the video whilst driving “what an amazing automobile these are. I know a lot of people like the convertible... but for me these coupes are far sexier... more aerodynamic looking, I love the hatchback door... just fantastic.... if you took care of them and treated them right, these would last forever”.  


That’s exactly what we have here, a low mileage example that has been loved and maintained it’s whole life, with exterior and interior restoration complete.


265 hp, 3,781 cc inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with semi-trailing wishbones, torsion bars, telescopic shock absorbers, anti-roll bar, independent rear suspension with lower transverse tubular links, radius rods, twin coil springs, and telescopic shock absorbers, and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 96 in.

  • Brand New Interior
  • Brand New Paint



Whether you referred to it as an E-Type or XKE, this Jaguar was most assuredly the sexiest car of the 1960s. It followed the Jaguar formula—sensational looks and sensational performance—which had been introduced so successfully with the XK120 in 1949 that it was restated with vigor in 1961. The youthful curves of the XK120 had matured with the XK150, while the E-Type made Jaguar young and exciting once again. Replacing the voluptuousness of the former car was the sleekness of the new one. What remained, however, was the undeniable sex appeal of the Jaguar formula.


The E-Type was preceded by the competition D-Type of the mid-1950s and its short-lived production version, the XKSS of 1957. Like the D-Type, the new car used monocoque construction: The front of the chassis featured a space-frame with steel tubes that supported the engine, the front suspension, and the hinged hood and fender assembly, which lifted to provide virtually unlimited engine access. The proven twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine of the former 150S, a four-wheel independent suspension, and disc brakes at each corner were featured, and 150 mph was also promised; all of this for a price of only $6,000!


During the entire Series I production, Jaguar produced only 5872 two-seat coupes, including this black over black leather beauty.  While having had only two owners over it’s 50 year history, it has recently been looked over mechanically, with a thorough rejuvenation of its brakes, carburetors, wheel cylinders, gas tank, and other mechanicals performed by Blue Chip Motorcars & Family Classic Service Center in Southern California.  A no-expense-spared exterior restoration was completed just last year, and continues to appear fresh as it has been garaged every day since.  


This Jaguar XKE features exterior black paint set off by a brand new black leather interior. This combination of all Black is exceptionally attractive, especially with the elegant chromed Wire Wheels, which are in excellent condition and sporting a brand new set of tires.  In the automotive world and especially the XKE world, this Black Beauty represents the creme de la creme.  


There are no records with the car but it was obvious from the condition of the interior that the car had lived a pampered life.  The original interior was replaced simply because the leather was cracked and dried out and the seat cushions needed replacement and overall did not match the condition of the gorgeous exterior work. 

 

The interior has been fitted with the original style English black leather on seats, door panels, thresholds and center console; new carpet set and headliner of English wool.  There is nothing quite like the brand new smell of high-end leather as this work was completed just last month, by a notable shop here in Southern CA.  


The wood grain rim steering wheel was refreshened recently and looks spectacular. 


The paint restoration was done by Webb & Sons just this past year in Indiana and is an absolute stunner on this pristine, virgin bodied XKE. 

The car was completely stripped to the metal and repainted to a top-notch concour style level. New rubber seals were installed at the time of paint restoration.  No expense was sparred in the paint job.


Black is unforgiving, especially a paint job done to this calibre. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  I would have to say the car looks better in person than in the pictures. 


The Chrome was nice on the car and the second owner elected to keep it all original when it was repainted.  As you can see in the pictures the chrome is very good.  The bumpers front and rear are either original or have been replated at some point in it’s life and would rate a 9+ out of 10.  The front headlight trim is faded somewhat and would rate a 7.  The door handles are bright but have minor pitting.  The decision was made last week to remove the headlight bezels and door handles and have them replated to match the front and rear bumpers and overall level of the car.  They will be on the car when it is delivered.  


The body on this Jag is in simply phenomenal shape, having no signs of ever having been damaged.  After spending 90% of it’s life in Southern California it is completely rust free and shows no signs of any repair to the chassis or body.  It is extremely straight and true with doors, hood and trunk all fitting exactly like they should.  


I have been pulling cars apart for about 25 years for various types of restorations and I can say this is one of the nicest bodied Jags from this era that I have seen.  I have also judged cars at all types of venues and this paint will stand up with some of the best I have judged anywhere.  


The car drives and sounds wonderfully , straight down the road with plenty of power and a smooth shifting transmission.  The mileage on the car is the original, having always been a weekend car for the two previous owners.  Since we had no records on what had been done to the engine we decided a compression test was in order: 

150, 165, 180, 170, 180, 170


The car has recently been gone over mechanically, with a thorough rejuvenation of its brakes, including wheel cylinders, new front hoses and pads, front and rear master cylinders.  The calipers were replaced last year. The valve covers were removed and polished, new fluids throughout and the carbs have been tuned.  


We believe this mileage is original based on the way the engine compartment and undercarriage look in this amazing example of British Royalty.  


This would be a great car to show right now as it is, or continue to concour it out in the engine area and undercarriage.  This would also make an incredible weekend driver for a discriminating collector.  

All the hard stuff is done, just get in it and take it up the coast.  


Jay said it best right at the very end of his video about the EXACT same car that he bought for himself: 


“You know this is still one of the great classic car bargains... if you can find one grab it now.. these are going to get crazy prices... they’re crazy now, but you are going to look back and say I should have bought one then... if you can find one it’s way better than the stock market”. 


Quite simply, this is the perfect example for the enthusiast or collector looking to purchase one of Jaguar’s sexiest creations.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Latest Jaguar XJ snaps show old versus new

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

It is a rare day when automakers line up their current models and test cars right next to each other and allow us to compare them directly. However, Jaguar ending up doing just that during cold weather testing of the face lifted XJ, providing the perfect chance to see just what the company is changing.
We spotted the refreshed XJ testing last year, and it hasn't evolved much since then. The updated model sports clear turn signals and a slightly revised front air dam. The modifications are similarly minor at the rear. The bumper appears to dip down slightly further on the new sedan. Thankfully, those gorgeous taillights are still draped over the back of the car. The exhaust outlets have switched to oval shapes rather than the current parallelograms. This alteration could just be chalked up to it being a test car, but the previous tester we saw had a similar design. It's possible that the camouflage could be hiding other revisions, but don't expect anything radical from the facelift.
Our previous report indicated that Jaguar is also planning some interior upgrades with new infotainment and ambient lighting. The company seems to feel that there isn't a point in messing with the XJ's design just yet, since all of the changes we see here are very subtle. No problems, here - to our eyes, the big Jag is still one of the prettier sedans on the road today.

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay

Wed, Sep 30 2020

ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue  our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.   Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover
