I am selling this car for my customer/friend. I own the restoration shop that did the paint/bodywork. I can tell you the car is in fantastic driving condition. I do not think the car has many miles on it since restoration was complete.
Beautiful example of a 1967 Jaguar XKE Series One Roadster. I have own this E-Type for approximately five years when I purchased it from the previous owner who had it in his possession for over twenty years, the last six of which were spent completely restoring the car. As you can see in the photos the car was completely disassembled, media blasted and restored on a rotisserie. Any rusted metal was replaced and all systems refurbished, replaced, or rebuilt. This e-type was painted with Deltron DBW 75390 SC bright red. The biscuit colored interior was replaced complete, including leather seats and armrests. A new top was also installed. The 4.2 liter engine, Engine # 7E 12604-9, which is a matching number, was completely rebuilt, to include Stellite valves seats for use of unleaded gas. Brake cylinders and SU's were all rebuilt, stainless steel exhaust installed. Interior chrome trim was replated as neccessary.
Upon receiving delivery of this 67 Jaguar all the following had been performed by Donovan Motorcar Service (Jaguar Specialists in service and restoration) in Lenox, Mass.; installed new temperature switch, new fuel pump, fuel tank cleaned and new screen on pick up tube, new bonnet subframe (painted and color matched) new radiator and header tank, install upper and lower ball joints, steering rack removed, disassembled steering column and new bushings installed, distributor removed and set up on distributor machine to adjust dwell, new battery, complete tune up.
The final upgrade came with the addition of four Dayton chrome wire wheels, 6 inch curley hubs with Pirelli P4000 205/70 ZR 15 SuperTouring tires. The original rims will be included, they were mismatched rims with red line bias ply tires installed.
The paint and the overall condition of this vehicle is outstanding as the photos show. The paint has been polished to a mirror like prefection, all lines are perfect. No were no corners cut in thr restoration of this car inside or out. As beautiful as this jag is from the outside it is an extreme pleasure to drive it. It starts flawlessly and the engine has incredible torque. The handling is incredible with the insatllation of the Pirellis. An appraisal was performed for insurance purposes in Nov. 2009. The appraisal came in at $91,500, with summation: ".Fine, well restored, or a combination of superior restoration and excellent original. Also, an extremely well maintained original showing very minimal wear." Again only for insurance was the appraisal done and this not the number that the reserve is established to. Appraisal will be included with sale.

Jaguar XE teased in new video, will debut September 8
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Outside of a major auto show, this might be one of the best times of the year for new car debuts, and we couldn't be more excited. Just this week, the low-slung face of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata showed itself to the world, and Land Rover debuted its new Discovery Sport. Plus, there's a double-whammy of launches on the imminent horizon with the unveilings of the Jaguar XE on September 8 and the Mercedes-AMG GT on September 9.
Jag is teasing the launch of its latest midsize luxury sedan with a few glimpses on video. It's strangely secretive, given the fact that Jaguar showed the XE's face completely un-camouflaged a few weeks ago. Regardless, it's quite a looker up front with a sleeker take on the shape of the larger XF.
Because of the way Jaguar is slowly leaking details about the XE, there are a few other things we already know about this new cat, too. It rides on a monocoque chassis made from over 75 percent aluminum, and the automaker is promising 75 miles per gallon fuel economy on the more lenient European cycle for at least one engine in the lineup.
Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Watch new Jaguar XF perform a literal high-wire act
Thu, Mar 26 2015Coming out with a new luxury sedan can be a truly daunting prospect. Make it too edgy and you'll risk disenfranchising what can often be a rather conservative customer base. Make it too conservative and you may fail to attract enough new customers or generate enough interest to make the endeavor worthwhile. Whether Jaguar succeeded in walking that thin line with the new XF is a matter of personal taste, blending as it does elements from the smaller XE and the outgoing XF it replaces. But in launching the new model, Jaguar didn't just pull of a figurative high-wire act – it did quite a literal one. To drum up support for its newest debut, Jaguar undertook the stunt depicted in the video above, stringing a pair of carbon-fiber cables some 60 feet above the River Thames in London. With some guide wires and counterbalance weights to keep it all in check, and a motion-picture stunt crew orchestrating it all, the new XF drove over 780 feet from one bank of the river to the other, setting a new world record in the process. Instead of thinking too hard about the whys (seriously, though... why?) and hows, we suggest you just watch the video above. Related Video:
