 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!

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace

Sun, May 24 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too.

Hardcore Jaguar F-Type underway, 600 horsepower possible

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Thanks to an already potent range of supercharged engines with some of the best exhaust notes available, the Jaguar F-Type is without a doubt a sublime performer. Still, there's always room to grow, and we are getting another good look from the Nurburgring at what's suspected to be an even more powerful version on the way. Spy shots of what was believed to be the Jaguar F-Type R-S first came out last spring. This time the roadster is practically uncamouflaged, though. The similarities are definitely there, and both test cars wear the same wheel design and quad-tailpipe rear diffuser. The latest one lacks the massive front splitter jutting out but gets a quite large, fixed trunk lid spoiler at the rear. You can also spot some large-diameter ceramic brake discs behind the wheels. The things happening under the bonnet might be even more interesting, though. To befit all of the exterior performance upgrades, Jaguar's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is expected to nestle between the front wheels, and the mill is likely getting a boost in power to take output to 580 or even 600 horsepower, versus 550hp in standard form. Hopefully, the extra grunt makes the exhaust note even more intoxicating, as well.
