1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Wilson, Kansas, United States
A great example of the 1969 Series II XKE. I have owned this car since 2012, it has been garage kept and well
maintained. I have put about 10,000 miles on it since I purchased it nine years ago, it is great fun to drive and
has always been dependable.
Interior and special options- This particular example is a four speed
manual, a rare option for 2+2s, and sports special ordered factory chrome plated steel wheels (wire wheels were
standard) as well as a Phillips FM radio which still works. All instruments, lights, and gauges work as they should
with the exception of the clock. The upholstery and carpets are 100% original and are starting to show their age a
bit. while clean, the carpets are a bit worn. the driver's seat has some cracking but is still holding together
on the whole. the passenger's seat and rear seats have seen very little use, and as such are in great shape
with the exception of a small stain on the rear seat which was present when I purchased the car. The trunk area is
very clean with no issues to note, as is the dash, with no cracks or warping. The headliner is in astonishingly
good condition with no signs of delamination from the roof. Exterior- Earlier in this car's life it had been a
concourse queen,
The paint is older but is still looking very good with no sun
damage and minimal oxidation. there are odd chips here and there but nothing severe, most notable is the one on the
nose of the hood which happened recently, I wanted to get it repaired but my body shop of choice has a two year
waiting list for new projects, and I just couldn't wait that long to get the car sold. Unfortunately a few
months ago it suffered a full delamination of the driver's side rear tire, which caused numerous small chips on
the rear quarter, it isn't glaring but it will definitely need to be addressed at some point. There is
absolutely zero rust in this car. Mechanical- I have had very few mechanical issues with this car over the years.
It did just receive a new brake master cylinder, plugs, plug wires, and distributor cap last year and the clutch
slave cylinder was replaced a few years ago. There is no smoke on startup and no noticeable oil consumption. It has
been known to drip a little oil if it sits without running for a while, which is normal. The dual electric cooling
fans work as they should, and the carburetors have never been temperamental, which is a blessing. It does have a
factory R12 air conditioning system but it is in need of a charge and probably re-sealing, the blower fan works
fine. The tires are brand new with less than 200 miles on them

This Jaguar E-Type is an even longer-legged feline
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Paul Branstad loves the shape and purity of the Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, produced from 1961 to 1968, but appreciates the longer length of the Series 3 V12 model, which affords occupants a more comfortable space in which to enjoy long trips. So when Branstad brought his damaged left-hand-drive 1968 roadster from its home in the US to Classic Motor Cars in the UK for a restoration, he had a special request: restore his car, but make it a bit longer.
"This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car," says Nick Goldthorp, managing director of CMC.
For the restoration, CMC added 4.5 inches of length to the floor pan of Branstad's E-Type to create the extra legroom. Goldthorp relates, "The V12 was actually nine inches longer than a Series 1 but a lot of the additional room was behind the seats as storage and was not required on our project." That's because CMC also built a trailer out of two E-Type rear ends that attaches to a custom-made removable tow hitch.
Jaguar Land Rover to recall 44,000 vehicles over excessive diesel emissions
Thu, Mar 14 2019Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 44,000 vehicles in the U.K. due to some of its vehicles emitting higher CO2 emissions than were officially stated. The recall is said to affect vehicles equipped with JLR's 2.0-liter diesel engine in cars built between 2014 and 2018. Quite a few models are affected, including the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, along with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport. The excessive CO2 emissions were discovered by the British vehicle certification agency, who then reported it to JLR. The company is reportedly working on a fix that will satisfy the agency and bring the cars back in line with their stated CO2 emissions. As of now, JLR is not saying what the fix will entail. A statement from JLR reads: "The modifications will be made free of charge, and every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the customer." The U.K. magazine Which? said JLR told them owners might experience minor changes to the "overall vehicle experience." Reading between the lines there, that sounds like there could be some pretty serious tampering with the engine software, but we'll leave the speculation to a minimum for now. CO2 emissions numbers are used in the U.K. to set tax levels for vehicles, which means JLR could have gotten out of some taxation with its artificially low CO2 numbers. At this point we don't know how badly the numbers are off, so it's impossible to know how egregious the mislabeling is. There also isn't any explanation for why the CO2 numbers are off, but this is all information that could be forthcoming. The 44,000 number could rise, too, because the UK vehicle standards agency says that some gasoline models could also be involved. That would open a whole new can of worms for JLR. Some Jaguar vehicles (XE, XF and F-Pace) offer a 2.0-liter diesel option for the U.S., but Land Rover's only diesel it sells here now is the 3.0-liter V6. For the time being there's no recall out on the diesel or gas engines from JLR in the U.S. There's no chatter surrounding emissions cheat devices like those involved with Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal. Nor does the scale of whatever the problem is come anywhere near the amount of Volkswagen diesels that needed to be recalled or taken off the roads. We'll be keeping tabs on the situation to see if this expands any further than the U.K. Green Recalls Jaguar Land Rover SUV Diesel Vehicles Luxury Sedan
Jaguar-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO
Fri, 28 Feb 2014The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.
