1967 Jaguar E-type Roadster (ots) - Gorgeous, All Numbers Matching Series I Xke on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, entirely numbers
matching, completely rust-free 1967 Jaguar E-Type OTS finished in factory
correct (per the original JDHT certificate) and perpetually tasteful Cream over
black leather with an original, solid and unmolested undercarriage. Often
mistaken for Old English White (which was offered on XKs between 1952-1961 and
on Series II and III E-Types from 1970-1974), Cream was Jaguar’s color
designation for white between 1962-1969, a timeless and understated hue that
perfectly offsets the E-Types lasciviously styled body. In terms of
desirability, closed headlamp Series I E-Types are at the top of the list and
final year examples are considered by many to be the most sought after, blending
the preferred early design cues with the stronger, more reliable 4.2L inline
six. If you’re looking for an excellent investment that you can drive and
enjoy, this 1967 E-Type checks all the important boxes. Delivered new to an attorney in Moline, Illinois, he would own
the car for the better part of three decades, eventually selling it to a local
business associate. The second owner kept the car in Moline until 2005, when it
was acquired by a Jaguar enthusiast from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We came across the
car late last year and found it to be in lovely condition – very strong
mechanically, cosmetically beautiful, entirely rust-free and honest – a
testament to the high level of care afforded by its three previous owners. Throughout
its life the car has been a garage queen, enjoyed in moderation, properly
maintained and garaged, with refurbishments taking place as needed. That said,
it’s worth reinforcing that at its core this is an exceptionally original, numbers matching example. Professionally refinished, the factory correct Cream paint is in fantastic shape: deep, lustrous and marred only by the most insignificant of imperfections, none of which are visible in the pictures. The body is entirely straight, free of dings or dents and retaining consistent gaps and panel fits throughout. The brightwork and all of the glass is in good original condition, as are the knock-off chrome wire wheels. The interior is equally as clean, the seats having been recently reupholstered in the correct leather and the soft top and accompanying boot cover having been replaced. Late Series I Roadsters are exalted amongst motoring enthusiasts,
thanks in no small part to the venerable 4.2L engine. Firing up without
hesitation, the engine idles consistently, pulls strongly and smoothly through
each of the gearbox’s four gears with excellent compression across all
cylinders. The cooling system works well and the exhaust note from the dual
stainless system is fantastic, the perfect accompaniment to the visceral, grin-inducing
ride quality. The car drives and brakes straight and true, the suspension is
tight and the car is a joy to drive, whether tooling through town, roaring
through the canyons or bombing down the highway. With Series I E-Types fetching outlandish prices in recent collector car auctions, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fairly priced, honest, beautiful, very original and appreciating final year example with strong, numbers matching mechanicals and clean aesthetics. Whether it will continue service as a cherished weekend driver, as a Jaguar Club of North America touring and event participant or as a welcomed addition to a collection, this gorgeous example needs nothing to be enjoyed but a doting new owner. We want
this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have
created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally
be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other
acquisitions. That time has come for this Jaguar (if the price is right, of
course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the
cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and
are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please
do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to
other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before
bidding. For U.S. buyers

the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must

for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the

Motor Trend first to compare Jaguar XE and BMW 3 Series
Tue, Jun 30 2015How many automakers have loaded up how much ammo and taken how many shots at the BMW 3 Series? Yet here we are, decades on and at least a decade away from the 3 Series' halcyon days, waiting for someone to give the sport sedan something beyond a flesh wound. In this most recent episode of Head 2 Head, Johnny Lieberman goes to Spain to figure out if the Jaguar XE is the sedan to do it. Here the champion wears the guise of the 335i M Sport, powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-six with a square 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque run through a ZF eight-speed transmission. After a short time behind the wheel Lieberman quotes from a familiar hagiography, saying it's evident "just how great this car is and why it defines the segment." The all-aluminum challenger from Jaguar comes in XES trim, meaning a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. It uses the same eight-speed transmission as the BMW, but with different programming. According to the specs in the video, some of which are manufacturer estimates, the Jaguar is heavier, more expensive, and much thirstier at the pump. Away from the spreadsheet, Lieberman holds that the XE looks better and feels more special inside. In case you're wondering, the comparo was done before MT could get its mitts on the 320-hp BMW 340i. Lieberman says the English company spent its money on the XE suspension and it shows, but there have been other efforts from other automakers with excellent dynamic chops that weren't enough to threaten the BMW. His final assessment is that one of the two cars is awesome, and one is quite a bit better. Watch the video to find out which is which.

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Jaguar details XE for North America
Tue, Apr 28 2015Jaguar is bringing the XE to North America next spring, and in advance of its arrival, the British automaker is giving us more details on its new compact sports sedan. The top engine choice is dubbed the XE 35t, which is a little misleading since its tried-and-tested 3.0-liter V6 is actually supercharged, not turbocharged. Regardless of the manner of forced induction, its 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque are claimed to propel the XE to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. Buyers looking for something more frugal at the pump may be more interested in the other engine option. The XE 20d adopts Jaguar's new Ingenium diesel, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. That's quoted for a 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will also be available on both versions, but come by default in rear-drive form. Buyers will also have the choice among three trim levels, staring with Premium, moving up to Prestige and on to R-Sport with satin chrome and gloss black trim, a rear spoiler and 20-inch alloys. Pricing is set to be announced closer to launch, but for now you can scope out the details in the press release below, and watch this space for our upcoming drive report to follow our earlier report.
