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.

Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future
Tue, Feb 18 2020Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers
Sun, Nov 20 2022LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jaguar F-Type convertible rally car might be the coolest F-Type ever
Mon, Nov 12 2018The Jaguar F-Type is a sweet sports car. Rally cars are awesome. Put the two together, and you have one seriously cool ride, which is exactly what Jaguar did. The company took two F-Type convertibles and turned them into rally-ready race cars. They're built to commemorate a 1948 XK 120 that took home several European rally victories, and they share some of the visual tweaks of the Checkered Flag Edition F-Type. These custom Jags likely won't see serious competition, but they're certainly built to handle it. They have FIA-certified roll cages, racing seats, harnesses and a fire extinguisher. The suspension features three-way adjustable rally shocks and soft springs for rough roads and, as shown above, jumps. Brakes are upgraded with slotted rotors and four-piston calipers at all four corners. There's a hydraulic handbrake and a limited-slip differential that should make sliding around corners much easier. Interestingly, these F-Types use the entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The engines also haven't been upgraded at all, so they make the standard 296 horsepower. As such, this F-Type is only in the running for being the coolest version ever, rather than running away with such a commendation. Sadly, it appears Jaguar will only ever build these two examples. But we bet that someone could replicate one without too much difficulty. That someone could perhaps even start with a V6 or V8 convertible, giving it more power and a way better sound to enjoy through that open-air roll cage. Related Video:
