1969 Jaguar E-Type
Roadster 4.2
Meticulously restored without regard to expense
This is a great opportunity to purchase a stunning, professionally restored, example of one of the fastest
appreciating cars in the world today. E-Type jags have always been highly sought after. However; in the last
several years they have been one of the best investments in classic cars you could make. Still climbing in value
with every sale these are considered to be one of the most beautiful car designs ever built.
This completely original, numbers matching car received an extensive nut and bolt restoration from one of the
finest shops in the mid-west about 10 years ago at a cost of over $60,000 (all documented), after the purchase
price of the car, and was completely restored. Today this restoration would cost in excess of $100,000. Every
mechanical component, every part and every panel was removed and restored to new or better. All the brightwork was
re-plated or polished as needed. All soft parts replaced. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and all painted
surfaces stripped and properly repainted. The end result was an award winning, better then new E-type. Since it
restoration it has been driven approx. 1,000 miles.
If you are considering a restoration project of your own, please reconsider as you can buy this car at a fraction
of the price. Imagine buying a Jaguar brand new in 1969 and then put it in a time capsule. Open the time capsule
today and this is what you have. You can spend ridiculous time and money trying to duplicate this finished vehicle
or you can buy this one, complete and pristine for a fraction of the cost.
After owning the car for the past ten years the owner decided to donate it to a local foundation to benefit cancer
research. I bought It from this foundation with the intent to keep it as part of my British car collection.
However, my circumstances have changed and now I must offer it to the next lucky collector. It runs and drives as
if it were new with that smooth silky Jaguar acceleration these cars are known for. It shifts wonderfully up and
down through all gears and stops very well with no pull or fade. The interior still looks and smells new. The paint
is still incredible with only a few very minor imperfections from the few miles it has traveled. I can find 3-4
small pinpoint type nicks. Likely stone chips. All the glass is like new. All the chrome is show quality.
The only items I know not to be original are seen in the photos. It has a beautifully installed, later type,
steering wheel slightly smaller than the original and much better for driver comfort, the beautiful wood shift knob
and upgraded stereo. Other than those items it appears to be all original as it was in 1969 when it left the
factory. And of course the tires.
It was recently appraised by a professional appraiser, Certified Appraisers Guild of America, and given a value
range between $85,000-95,000. In this appraisal the appraiser rated it as a number 2 condition car. It was likely
a number one car at the time the restoration was completed and has been driven enough to now be considered a number
two. The appraisal and all receipts from the restoration are included in the sale.
The previous owner, who had it restored, was too tall for the car. He knew he would never drive it in anything but
perfect weather. For this reason he had it restored without the soft top. E-types are not the most comfortable cars
for drivers over 6;3". The top literally gets in the way. He was too tall to drive it with the top up and when it
is down it was impossible to put the seat all the way back to make room for his long legs. To remedy this he had
the bulkhead behind the seats restored to appear as though there was never a soft top on the car (see photos). He
never intended to have it out in anything but perfect weather so this suited him better than fighting with the top.
Like many people, he believed this car looked best without the top up or down. It is a beautiful car without the
top and the finish around the rear bulkhead looks perfectly natural. Currently there is no soft top offered with
this car.
I have tried to include as many high resolution photos as possible. Please look these over carefully as they are an
important part of the description of this car. If you are lucky enough to live close to central Ohio please take
the time to come inspect it in person. It is well worth the trip.

Jaguar Race Taxis will fling you around the Nurburgring

Tue, May 8 2018

The Germans have a word, " fernweh," literally meaning "far sickness," that describes a special kind of longing. It's a strange sensation in which you feel homesick for a place that you're in tune with, a place that moves you, but it's a place you've never actually been to before. Someone who loves cars might be drawn that way to the Nurburgring. But if you're traveling to Germany this summer to fulfill that sense of fernweh, how do you experience the Green Hell firsthand? Your rental-car company might frown on you taking matters into your own hands. But Jaguar may have your answer. The Jaguar Race Taxi experience will give you a hot lap around the 13 miles and 73 corners of the Nordschleife in the 575-horsepower Jaguar F-Type SVR and the equally powerful four-door Jaguar XJR575. You'll ride with professional drivers who won't coddle you — Jaguar promises cornering forces of 1.2g. "A ride in the F-TYPE SVR and XJR575 Race Taxi is a thrilling and truly unforgettable experience for any car enthusiast — or anybody who just enjoys going very fast!" says Phil Talboys, JLR's European engineering operations manager. "Our highly experienced professional drivers are veterans of the Nurburgring 24-hour race, making them uniquely qualified to show customers the true potential of these extraordinary supercharged V8 Jaguars." The laps are available until the snow flies in November. Taxi fare is ˆ199 ($236) per lap in either car. You'll be in and out in 30 minutes, counting the safety briefing, the hot lap and a review of the video you'll walk away with. Oh, and there's a weight limit of 120 kilos (264 pounds), so you stockier souls may want to start your diets now. Reservations can be made at the track or online here. The F-Type SVR can take one passenger, and the XJR575 will haul you and two of your screaming friends. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr

Thu, Jul 2 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace gets official 234-mile range rating

Tue, Oct 23 2018

The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace is officially rated to travel as far as 234 miles on a single charge of its battery pack. That's down slightly from the 240 miles initially promised when the slinky electric crossover was first unveiled here in the States. And, while it's roughly equal to the base version of the Tesla Model X, that's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. Quoting maximum electric range without considering the capacity of a car's battery pack is the same as quoting the maximum driving range of a gasoline-fueled vehicle without considering how many gallons of gas the tank holds. The I-Pace's battery pack is rated at 90kWh. The Model X's smallest pack is 75kWh. So the Tesla can go about the same total distance as the Jaguar using significantly less energy. It's not just Tesla that boasts greater efficiency figures than the Jaguar. Chevy manages to eke 238 miles out of the Bolt EV's 60kWh battery pack, and Hyundai gets 258 miles from the Kona Electric's 64kWh pack. These vehicles certainly don't all play in the same market segments, and there are a lot of variables to consider. For instance, the Jaguar's 4.5-second 0-60 rating is quicker than the Model X's 4.9-second rating, and its advertised power output of 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque is higher than Tesla's for the 75D (though Tesla's actual power numbers aren't really advertised in traditional hp and lb-ft figures). But even if cars like the Model X, Chevy Bolt, and Hyundai Kona EV aren't directly comparable across the board, their range and battery capacity figures do help us understand the relative efficiency of each specific vehicle. The efficiency of electric vehicles rated by the EPA is expressed as a MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) figure. The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace's figures of 80 city, 72 highway, and 76 combined MPGe don't compare favorably with the Tesla Model X's 91 MPGe city, 95 MPGe highway and 93 MPGe combined ratings. It'll be interesting to see how much EV buyers care about the Jaguar's comparatively poor MPGe ratings, but they will definitely have an impact in the real world. In practical terms, what all of this means is that the Jaguar I-Pace is going to use more electricity per mile than the Tesla Model X. And that means it's going to cost more to drive the same distance in the Jag when compared to the Tesla, or just about any other modern long-range EV that's currently on the market.
