1966 Jaguar Xke Convertible W/ Covered Headlights on 2040-cars
Pewaukee, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought the jag from the original family about 3 years ago. The owner has completely restored this car over the last several years. the goal was to replace the original engine with a fast, cool running and dependable V-8 and matching automatic transmission. As a result of the modification the millage is not actual,the odometer reads 39873. the car was completely disassembled and rebuilt. the paint was stripped and painted with a British racing green. The original chrome was re-chromed as necessary.A completely rebuilt Lincoln V-8, modified with chrome headers and Holly carburetor and high performance automatic transmission. New custom exhaust system and new bushings,shocks modified for the handling of new engine. The rear was completely rebuilt. New radiator and fan. The result was a very fast classic. The interior was fitted with new tan leather, carpet, and door panels, new canvas top was installed,new trunk kit. Original wire wheels w/new cooper tires and original spare. Also new rubber and felt. Original screen with tiny stone chip on upper right corner. A couple of small paint chips on the lower section where the hood line up with the body. This is a rust free car and always has been. The car stored in my heated garage.
As is.Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty. Please ask questions to get better idea about the car. Better yet come and inspect the car yourself. In fact, i prefer the inspection of the car for better understanding. |

Jaguar to expand Jaguar XKR-S GT production run?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013According to a report in Autocar, demand for the Jaguar XKR-S GT is such that the English company could nearly double production from 30 to 50 cars. Such inflation can often incense those have already put deposits down, worried that they've both been lied to about the potentially diminished values of their cars, but Jaguar has made the announcement barely a day after the XKR-S GT was revealed and 50 still isn't that many vehicles.
Nothing in the Autocar report indicates the additional examples will not come to America, making the 500-horsepower superfast coupe a treat we can still call all our own. Jaguar didn't add horsepower but instead honed other aspects of the car to produce a GT that can lap the 'Ring nearly as quickly as a Ferrari 458 Italia, and the world should be the beneficiary, the company's brand director saying, "The real beauty of this project has been that it has extended our understanding of the elements involved in making a car go so fast, and that will feed back into all our road car programs." Sounds good to us.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
