1968 Jaguar Xke Convertible Solid Project Car on 2040-cars
Erie, Pennsylvania, United States
I never thought that I would be listing this car since it is my favorite of all the British iron that I have owned over the years. I have collected many items for the xke over the 20 years that I have owned it. I am getting too old now to complete it and can't find the time to work on it. I have all of the parts to put it back together. I have many new items like a black leather interior with new seat foam, carpet kit, panel kit, new amco soft top, and complete seal kit. I have replated or purchase new all of the chrome except for the main bumper bars. I had the 3 carb setup rebuilt but it has never been put back on. This car looks like a series 1 from the outside and a series 2 from the inside. I purchased it off the the 2nd owner. It has 43315 original miles. The floors and outer rockers were shot and they have been repaired with the correct factory panels. I also have a new exhaust system from the header back that came with the car, shocks, rear springs, bearings and many other smal parts to complete this restoration project. The original color is signal red exterior, and black for the interior. I have a very nice set of curly spline wheels and the original set too. The car has been off the road and in storage since 1977. The motor turns free the last time I checked. I have many small and hard to find parts that go with the car as well. It also has an aftermarket hardtop that is in very good condition. The body is solid and I used the best dupont primers and products when I started the restoration. I had the bonnet disassembled and dipped then epoxy primed. The trunk floor is also like new and the tank has been sealed and restored. I have a wilwood conversion for the front brakes with new rotors and new rotors for the rear. 1000 deposit in paypal and then the money has to clear in my bank before car goes. I have many more detailed pictures if needed. The car is barn stored 1 hour east of Erie, PA

Petrolicious examines a very special Jaguar C-Type
Wed, Jul 8 2015There are rare Jaguars, and then there's this stunning C-Type Lightweight Le Mans. Built in response to the dominance of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL at the 1952 24 Hours of Le Mans, Jaguar made only three C-Types for 1953 and managed to capture first, second, and fourth. These cars featured four-wheel disc brakes – a rarity at the time even in endurance racing – and a lighter aluminum body. The two SU carburetors were swapped out for three Webers, meaning more power and, according to RM Sotheby's David Swig, better throttle response. Swig would know. In the latest video from Petrolicious, he takes the fourth-place C-Type for a ride, giving us a look at the sleek open-roof racer in action, while our ears enjoy the delicious sound of the 3.4-liter, twin-cam straight-six. "What I love about these cars is how communicative they are on the road," Swig told Petrolicious. "How when you're going through a corner, you feel in the seat of your pants and through the steering wheel every little movement, every little pebble that you drive over." Beyond the driving experience, there's something to be said of the historical seat Swig is occupying. "No less than five Le Mans-winning drivers of this period have sat behind the wheel of this car," Swig said, "which almost give you goosebumps." Should you have the money, you can actually put this iconic racing Jaguar in your garage. RM Sotheby's will offer it for auction as part of its glitzy Monterey Car Week event next month. While you can look forward to our coverage of that event come August, you can enjoy the sight and sound of this iconic C-Type in the latest episode from Petrolicious.

Jaguar's Callum: 'Huge' opportunities with electric vehicles
Thu, Apr 7 2016Eventually, some brave innovator, with an imagination light years ahead of the rest of us mere mortals, will envision an automotive future that the rest of us can't conceive. This person will step up and tell us how electric vehicles have the potential to change our lives for the better. They'll have the guts to tell us that if we could only open our eyes, we'd see that there's a way to get from one place to another that doesn't pollute the air we breathe. They'll explain that it won't just be globally responsible, it'll be magnificent. Yes, the electric car needs a champion, a figurehead, someone so inspirational that comic book superheroes are modeled after him. Finally, that champion has revealed himself. Saying out loud what the enlightened few of us know but dare not utter for fear of ridicule, our hero has spoken. "Electrification will kickstart the biggest change in automotive design in history," Ian Callum, design director at Jaguar told Autocar. That Jaguar sees the potential for electric vehicles is welcome progress. Sarcasm aside, that Jaguar sees the potential for electric vehicles is welcome progress. Even more appealing is that Callum approaches the potential of EVs from a design angle, where the slate is essentially blank, he feels, and so much is possible. "The opportunities an electric powertrain offers are huge," Callum says, "especially in terms of the space for occupants. By removing so much of the mechanical hardware and placing the batteries in the floor plan you open up all sorts of possibilities with packaging." To peer into Callum's mind when it comes to EV design would be extraordinary to behold. In many ways, his vision truly is something most of us cannot grasp completely, having spent a long career designing some of the most desirable cars of our time for some of the most prestigious automotive brands on the planet. So when he talks about the freedom EVs present from a design standpoint, it's not difficult to get excited. A Jaguar EV isn't as far-fetched as it might seem at first. Plus, a Jaguar EV isn't as far-fetched as it might seem at first, as Callum explains. "I'm clear in my mind that an electric Jaguar would be suitable for the brand," he says. "You have to move with the times and design for the opportunities. Look at the C-X75 concept – that was a car that was designed for an alternative powertrain, and nobody had any complaints about how that looked.
