 This 1966 Jaguar XKE is a barn find in rural Georgia.  It is the 294th 2+2 covered headlight car out of more than 2,600 Series 1 cars made.  It is a project car, but is in good shape for its age and ready for restoration.  It comes with 4.2-litre engine with 3 carbs, automatic transmission and dealer installed A/C.  The odometer reads 57,993 miles.  It was last registered in Puerto Rico in 1984, and was shipped to Georgia not long after. Since then it has been sitting (30 years) in a barn with a concrete floor.

This classic is white with a black interior.  At one time in its history, it had been repainted maroon, then the last owner repainted it in white lacquer, which has crackled.  The paint has been partially stripped, then left in storage while the owner moved on to other projects.

The car is missing the exhaust system, and it has some rust, mainly in the driver's side rocker, door bottom and floor (all pictured).  There's also a little rust at the bottom of the hatch and a few other spots.  I can see Bondo work in several places.  The turn signal lenses are cracked and one is missing.  With that said, I've seen much worse.

The spare tire well is in great shape, however, and the tire may be the original Dunlop.  The motor turned over 3 months ago. The interior is in very good shape with some normal wear.  There are no cracks or tears in the door panels, dash or console.  The seats are pretty nice.  The headliner and most of the carpet has been removed to check floor condition (all 4 shown).  All the glass is present.

The rest of the car appears to be complete, except for the front bumper, which the previous owner is trying to locate. 

The last picture shows the car as found.

Please let me know if you would like to see more pictures or if you have any other questions. Call me at 912-257-5333.

This car will be sold with a Bill of Sale ONLY, as Georgia does not title cars this old.  I also have the 1984 Puerto Rico registration.  

High bidder to pay $1,000 non-refundable through PayPal upon completion of auction.  Balance to be paid within 7 business days.  The car will not be released until all funds have been cleared.  

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."

Jaguar F-Type Coupe unveiled with range-topping R model

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

This is the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the long-awaited hardtop counterpart to the F-Type roadster we tested earlier this year. Besides adding a roof, it shuffles up the engine range that we saw on the Convertible model, and in two of three cases, it cuts the cost of entry rather quite nicely (a happy contradiction to earlier reports).
The big change is that the F-Type Coupe does away with the Convertible's V8S trim (although the 495-horsepower variant will still be available in the droptop), and adds an even more potent letter to the top of the range. The $99,000 F-Type R Coupe is the latest member of Jaguar's R Performance line, and despite being down a letter on the XFR-S and XKR-S, it features the same 5.0-liter, 550-hp supercharged V8. With all that power on tap, the F-Type R will sprint to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds (if it doesn't break into the 3s in independent testing, we'll be shocked) and on to a top speed of 186 miles per hour. If you need to get to freeway speeds quickly, the F-Type R will also go from 50 to 75 mph in just 2.4 seconds.
As the top tier model, the F-Type R is loaded down with performance-oriented tech. The suspension features adaptive dynamics that manage the car's body movements and adjust accordingly, while the suspension itself is 4.3-percent stiffer in front and 3.7-percent tighter in the back than the F-Type V8S Convertible. Drivers can dial up an even stiffer suspension setting in Dynamic Mode, which will also tweak the steering, the shift schedule of the eight-speed SportShift automatic and the throttle response of that brawny engine.
